OPERATING THE WINCH
WARNING To avoid personal injury and property damage, clear the
area around and behind the boat of people, animals and obstructions before
loading or unloading the boat.
WARNING Never stand between the load or anchor point and the
winch. Serious personal injury could occur if the cable breaks.
WARNING NEVER use the winch alone to secure the boat to the trailer
during transit. Use separate straps or equivalent to secure the boat to the trailer.
CAUTION ALWAYS wear leather gloves when handling the cable. Steel
cable can cause serious damage to hands.
NOTICE After using the winch, always disconnect the power cord from
the socket to avoid moisture collection in the socket and prevent the
possibility of short circuiting.
NOTICE To prevent damage to the motor, do not operate the winch
continuously for periods over 20 minutes. Allow the motor to “rest” for a
minimum of 1 hour.
UNLOADING THE BOAT
1. Attach the winch cable hook to the bow eye on the boat.
2. Connect the power to the winch. The power cord plug goes into the socket on the
right side of the winch.
3. Remove the tie down straps from the boat.
4. Slowly turn the clutch knob (counterclockwise) to release the winch brake.
5. Allow the boat to slide off the trailer. If necessary, the clutch knob can be
tightened to slow the speed of the boat.
6. When the boat is in the water, release the cable hook.
7. Tighten the clutch control knob clockwise until finger tight to set the brake.
8. While maintaining tension in the cable, press the button on the remote.
Roll the cable up completely.
NOTICE Do not allow the cable hook to roll into the winch. Damage
to the level wind plate can occur.
9. Secure the cable hook to prevent any accidental injury or damage.
