EMERGENCY STOP
All electric winches must be fitted with an emergency stop/isolator switch within the circuit
(as shown in diagram). This should be easily accessible and clearly marked. The
operators should familiarise themselves with this switch before winch operation.
ON NO ACCOUNT WIRE DIRECTLY INTO WINCH.
ISOLATOR SWITCH MUST BE TURNED OFF WHEN WINCH IS NOT BEING USED.
Always keep the length of the feed wire and earth return to a minimum to avoid voltage
drop.
In some circumstances when the vehicle is involved in constant use with only short
distances between winching operation, it will be necessary to fit an additional heavy duty
battery wired in parallel with the vehicle battery.
Keep this as close to the winch as possible.
It is also advisable in these circumstances to have the vehicle fitted with a heavy duty
charging system and batteries.
The above comments also apply to vehicles operating with maximum loads imposed on
the winch.
LOAD LIMITING SWITCHES
Electric load limiting switches can be supplied as an option on this model.
If fitted, it is important to ensure that the winch is fitted in the correct rotation. Whilst the
limit switch is calibrated to the approximate safe working load required by the customer at
point of order, fine adjustment is necessary after installation.
(See wiring diagram below).
