Powerwinch
STEP 4
Run the RED wire under or through the vehicle I0 the
Powetwinch. If you need to drill holes to feed the wires.
be sure the wires are prolected from damage. It is a good
idea to usa grommets Jnot supplied), Wire Insulation can
rub off and cause short circuits if grommets are not used,
See Fig. 4.

_q:41 _a.uk..U, ..... -_STEP 5
Use "twisties" or nylon wire ties (not supplied) to secure
the wire Io the frame of the vehicle about every 18"
along the way, You can also use electrician's tape.
Be Sure Wires Do Not Hang Down And Are Away
From All Moving Pans And Hol Parts, Such As The
Exhaust System.
STEP 6
Place the winch in its working position and decide how
much wire you need to reach the sockeL Add an extra 6"
to each wire and cut off the reel Strip off _" of insula-
tion from each wire. Put the RED wire in the GOLD
terminal of the plug, and the BLACK wire in the SILVER
lerminal, as shown in Fig. 5. Firmly tighten the screws
thai hold the wires in place. Fasten the top to the plug
using three screws.

STEP 7
With all wires securely tied down and connecled to the
plug. connect the circuit breaker to the solenoid, or
battery, as shown in Fig, 6, !

Now you are ready to use your winchl
Temporary Wiring
To use your winch wtth a temporary wire hook-up:
1.Attach two (2) "Alligator'* type clips to the ends of the
RED and BLACK wires.
2. Run the RED wire to the battery and clip it to the hot
--Positive (+)--side.
3. Clip the BLACK wire to the vehicle frame.
NOTE: The voltage output of an automotive battery
is 12 volts. With an alternator and the motor running.
13 volts are available. However, voltage Is '*lost" as
the current travels through the many connections and
down the wire.
For example: the current has to travel 25 feel (from
the vehicle battery to the winch). One volt is "lost"
for every 8 feet of wire. Consequently. only 9 volts
are available lot use by the winch.
As all ratings are given assuming use of this long
harness. Perfon_anco (speed and maximum load
capacity} will increase markedly as the harness Is
shortened up (up Io 25% to 30% if the battery is located
next to the winch).
SECTION II
HOW TO USE YOUR WINCH
Always leave the last three (3) turns of cable
on the drum. This prevents the cable fastener
from pulling out under heavy load.
• The winch cable Is a high quality aircraft
cable selected to withstand loads in excess
of the rated capacity. NEVER exceed this
rating when using the winch.
=,Inspect the cable pedodically for individual
strand breakage or abnormal stiffness.
NEVER replace cable with one of smaller
size and capacity. Check the cable fittings
for tightness. Cable life can be increased
up to 300% by frequent lubrication with a
good grade of oil.
= Keep handsand fingers clear of thedrum
and cable area ofthe winchwhen
operating.
• Model VR-192 is provided with an emergency
crank handle, and it is available as an optional
accessory for the 316.
DO NOT USE it as an ';assist" to the motor
when the motoris running.DO NOT leave the
crank handle on the winch or run the winch
whilethe handle isattached.
• The winch must be securely attached to
a structural member or frame that Is
capable of sustaining loads In excess of
the winch capacity. When attachlng the
winch to a vehilce, make sure the mounting
pad area is rigidly supported by the vehicle
frame.
• ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent the
vehicle from rolling when pulling a load
with the winch.
• Keepthe winchingarea free of allunneces- •
saP/personnel.
• NEVER stand between the load and the
winch.
ddD)=f,.1D]tvff,_!_W[_=,1:1 II =mw_=
Do not wrap the cable around a load and hook
to self. When attempting to do this use the
Powerwlnch "eco-strap" to Insure the cable
does not fray or kink. See below for do and
don't examples.
DO!
