5.11.1 Hand-held Transmitter
CAUTION!
• Never leave a transmitter unattended.
• Always switch the transmitter off when not in
use. Store in a safe place.
• Keep a clear view of the work area at all
times.
W054
Each transmitter is pre-programmed with a unique code. The
receiver is programmed to respond only to that transmitter. Other
radio-controlled systems can therefore work in close proximity
without interference.
The transmitter has two replaceable 1.5 V, AAA
non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The batteries are accessed
by removing the rear panel.
IMPORTANT! Do not recharge the batteries. Attempts to
recharge may cause rupture or hazardous liquids to leak,
causing damage to the equipment.
There are three LED indicators on the transmitter. The (center)
green LED flashes to indicate communication between the
transmitter and the receiver. The red LEDs flash to indicate low
battery or a system error.

Power On (1)
Push to turn on the transmitter.
Clutch Engage (2)
Push and hold to activate the winch (retract
the cable). The transmitter sends a signal to
the receiver once pressed. The winch stops
when the button is released.
LED Indicator lights (3)
These LEDs indicate system status. The center LED is green
during normal operation. When 10% of battery life remains, it
lights red. The left- and right-hand LEDs are red and come on to
indicate a system error.
Power Off Button (4)
Push to turn the transmitter off.
I/O Button
The I/O Button on the back of the transmitter
disconnects the power supply from the
batteries. The switch must be in the 'I'
position for the transmitter to operate. In the
'O' position, the transmitter cannot be used.
When storing the winch for a period of time, the switch should
be moved to the 'O' position to save battery life. Turn the switch
to the 'O' position when changing batteries.
IMPORTANT! Do not use the I/O button to start or stop the
transmitter. Use the On and Off buttons instead.
5.11.2 Receiver
The receiver is mounted on the winch safety screen. The signal
from the transmitter to the receiver is sent to the hydraulic
actuator to engage/disengage the winch clutch. It requires
a 12 VDC power connection from the tractor. The receiver
enclosure is weather, vibration and shock resistant.
A manual override switch on the receiver permits engaging/
disengaging the winch clutch in the event the transmitter is not
functioning.
