SUGGESTION:The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you
actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well as you can see it operate.
Get to recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you
will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature to you.
OPERATING:
1. Ensure the vehicle is secured by applying the parking brake or chocking the wheels.
2. Pull out the winch cable the desired length and connect to an anchor point. The winch clutch allows rapid uncoiling
of the cable for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The shifter tab located on the gear housing of the winch
operates the clutch as follows:
a) To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the “OUT” position. Cable may be free spooled off the drum.
b) To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab into the “IN” position. The winch is now ready for pulling.
3. Recheck all cable rigging before proceeding.
