OPERATIONINSTALLATION
Winch Installation
To secure the winch to the mounting location, you will need
three grade 5, 3/8" diameter bolts, three lock washers,
six flat washers and three nuts (hardware not included).
Place the lock washer, then a flat washer on the bolt.
Place the bolt through the mounting hole on the winch.
Add one more flat washer and secure with a nut.
Strap Installation
To secure the winch strap, place the provided strap bolt through
the sewn loop in the winch strap. Secure with the strap bolt nut.
Note: The installed winch strap should be rated at 1.5 times
the winch's rated capacity. The hook on the strap should
be rated at 1.5 times the strap's rated capacity.
Step 1
Verify the winch is properly secured to the winch mount and
the winch handle is properly secured to the winch input shaft.
Step 2 - Winding Strap In
Engage the ratchet lever in the pinion gear and begin
turning the handle. The ratchet will make a loud clicking
noise when the line is being wound on the winch drum.
WARNING
If you do not hear a loud clicking noise, the ratchet is not securing
the load. Do not let go of the handle until the load has been secured.
Handle Installation
Prior to operating the winch, secure the handle
to the input shaft with the provided lock nut.
Step 2 - Letting Strap Out
Firmly hold the winch handle and release the ratchet lever.
The handle may need to be rotated slightly to move the ratchet
lever. Carefully rotate the handle to let line out. Do not let go
of the handle until ratchet lever has been properly engaged
and is supporting the load. Let go of the handle slowly to
be sure that the ratchet lever is supporting the load.
Never let go of handle prior engaging the ratchet lever
as this may cause the handle to spin dangerously.
Step 3
Can be attached to watercraft by using the hook alone or by looping
the strap through the boweye and hooking onto the strap as shown.
