It is also recommended to open the car bonnet to protect
the windshield from breaking in such a case.
12. The winch cable should be constantly stretched dur
-
ing operation. This prevents cables from “breaking” and
tangling. If the cable starts to tangle or fold stop using the
winch, secure the pulled load, partially unwind the cable
and start winding again. If this does not work, loosen the
cable and straighten it manually.
13. To stabilize the vehicle when pulling loads, it is recom
-
mended to use stop blocks.
MOUNTING OF THE WINCH
1. Particular care should be taken not to chamfer the
winch during installation, which may lead to its perma-
nent damage.
2.The winch shall be mounted in a suitable place.
3.The power of the winch must be adapted to the vehicle,
place and type of assembly.
4. The winch should be mounted on a sturdy steel frame
using a 4- or 8-point mounting system. The winch must be
mounted horizontally.
5.It is important to mount the winch on a at surface that
is technologically adapted to support the winch.
6. A special steel mounting plate matching the specic
winch model is recommended. The higher the pulling
power of the winch, the thicker mounting plate must be
used (e.g. for 12,000 lbs - the minimum plate thickness is
6 mm). Original bolts are designed for minimum mounting
plate thickness.
7.If you use a thicker plate, bolts must be replaced with
new ones of at least the same hardness and the adequate
length so that the bolt completely passes through the
nut.
8. The cable roller guide should be assembled in a way
that facilitates pulling the rope in and out. The cable roller
guide must not be xed directly to the winch. The roller
guide should be xed to the mounting plate.

ATTENTION
The user is responsible for a correct installation
of the winch on a car.
WARNING
Fully extending the winch cable and running the
winch under load can result in ripping the rope
fastening off the drum, damaging the equip-
ment and seriously injuring persons nearby.
