This document is a fitting instruction manual for the T-MAX ATW6000 winch, a powerful machine designed for intermittent duty general use in off-road recovery applications. It is not intended for industrial or hoisting applications. The manual provides detailed information on safety precautions, unpacking, parts lists, exploded views, dimensions, specifications, installation, and maintenance.

Function Description

The T-MAX ATW6000 is an electric winch used for off-road recovery. Its primary function is to pull loads using either a wire rope or synthetic rope, making it suitable for various recovery scenarios. The winch is controlled either by a hand control (wired) or a radio control (wireless), depending on the model. It features a clutch mechanism that allows for free spooling of the rope, and a braking system to hold loads in place.

Important Technical Specifications

The ATW6000 winch comes in several models, distinguished by their control type and rope material:

• 12V 7305100: Non-Radio Control (Wire Rope)
• 12V 7305101: Radio Control (Wire Rope)
• 12V 7305110: Non-Radio Control (Synthetic Rope)
• 12V 7305111: Radio Control (Synthetic Rope)

Common specifications across these models include:

• Rated Line Pull: 6000 lbs (2720 kgs) Single-line
• Motor: 12V, 1.3HP (Series Wound)
• Gear Ratio: 148:1
• Clutch: Turn 90° By Hand wheel
• Braking System: Eccentric Block Type
• Drum Size: Diameter 2.08” (53mm) x Length 5.33” (128mm)
• Recommended Battery: 650CCA Minimum for Winching
• Mounting Bolt Pattern: 6.02” (153mm) x 4.33”(110mm)
• Overall Dimensions (LxWxH): 15.08”x5.12”x7.32” (383mm x 130mm x 186mm)

Rope specific details:

• Wire Rope (P/N: 7241100.7): Length x Diameter (18m x 6.8mm)
• Synthetic Rope (P/N: 9163151): Length x Diameter (15m x 7.5mm)

Fairlead types:

• Roller Fairlead (P/N: 7241100.4): Matches Wire Rope
• Aluminum Fairlead (P/N: 7309200.7-2): Matches Synthetic Rope

The performance specifications, based on the first layer of the drum, are as follows:

Cable Capacity per Layer:

Wire rope layer	Pulling power (lbs/kgs)	Cable Capacity (ft/m)
1st (closest to drum)	6000 (2720)	11 (3.4)
2nd	4850 (2200)	25 (7.6)
3rd	4070 (1850)	41 (12.5)
4th	500 (1260)	59 (18)

Usage Features

The ATW6000 is designed for intermittent duty, meaning it should not be operated continuously for extended periods to prevent the motor from overheating. Key usage features include:

• Clutch Engagement/Disengagement: The clutch handle allows the operator to engage the drum for pulling or disengage it for free spooling the rope.
• Control Options: Available with either a wired hand control or a radio control for remote operation. The wired control for ATV use is installed on the left handlebar.
• Safety Precautions: Emphasizes the importance of reading the owner's manual, using a hand saver bar or hook strap, keeping clear of the winch and taut rope, and inspecting equipment frequently.
• Load Management: Recommends using a pulley block for loads over 1,000 pounds to reduce strain on the winch and rope.
• Vehicle Operation: Advises keeping the vehicle engine running during winching to prevent battery drain and placing the vehicle transmission in neutral with the parking brake set and wheels chocked when moving a load.
• Rope Management: Warns against continuous pulls from extreme angles to prevent rope piling and damage, and to always maintain at least 5 turns of rope around the drum.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the ATW6000 winch:

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections.
• Cleaning: Clear any dirt or corrosion that may accumulate on electrical connections.
• Cable Management: Ensure all cables are properly wrapped with Thermoplastics Pipes and that no cables or tie-ins are uncovered. Battery cables should not be drawn taut across hot or damaging surfaces.
• Rope Inspection: Frequently inspect the wire or synthetic rope for fraying or broken strands and replace immediately with T-MAX's identical replacement parts if damaged.
• Motor Cooling: If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop winching and allow it to cool down.
• Professional Repair: All repairs should be performed by Authorized T-MAX Repair Centers ONLY. Disassembling the gearbox will void the warranty.
• No Alterations: Do not machine or weld any part of the winch, as this can weaken its structural integrity.
