Installation Instructions
XRC 3.0 3,000lb Winch
Part # 97203
When re-spooling the cable, ensure that the cable spools in the under-wind position with the cable
entering the drum from the bottom and not the top. To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves,
keep a slight load on the cable while pushing the remote button to draw in the cable. Walk toward
the winch not allowing the cable to slide through your hands. Do not let your hands get within 12” of
the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable is
left. Disconnect the remote control and finish spooling by hand by rotating the drum by hand with
the clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of the fairlead and drum while the winch is under power.
Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
Use gloves to protect hands when handling the cable. Never let the cable slide through your hands.
Apply blocks to the wheels of the vehicle when on an incline.
No modifications, alterations, or deviation to the winch are authorized by the manufacturer and
should not be made.
Duration of winching pulls should be kept as short as possible. If the motor becomes uncomfortably
hot to the touch, stop winching immediately and let it cool down for a few minutes.
Do not pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load.
If the motor stalls do not maintain power to the winch. Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in constant duty applications.
Never release the free-spool clutch when there is a load on the winch.
Use hand saver hook when handling the hook for spooling or un-spooling the wire rope.
