LOCATION
Mount the winch to a firm base.
The structure the winch is attached
to must be capable of withstanding
a load greater than 1-1/2 times the
winch’s rated line pull.
The winch can be mounted in a
horizontal or vertical position. Do
not mount the winch where there
would be the possibility of it being
submerged in water. The winch is
weather resistant but not waterproof.
This winch MUST
be mounted
with the pull in the underwind direc-
tion. Improper mounting could dam-
age your winch, cause the brake to
not work and void your warranty.
Step (1)
Install structural support for winch.
See "Dimensions" section for winch
dimensions.
Step (2)
Mount the winch to the mount that
you have designed.
Mounting bolts supplied are the
correct length for use with a 1/4"
(6.3mm) thick mounting plate.
Do not substi-
tute any bolt
with strength weaker than
grade 5.
When attaching wire to the motor
terminals and solenoids (relays),
hold the inner nut when tightening
the outer nut. Do not allow the ter-
minals to rotate. It may cause inter-
nal wire breakage or part misalign-
ment. Be especially careful in pre-
venting the solenoid (relay) termi-
nals from rotating. Any rotation can
damage the solenoid (See Figure 1).
Step (3)
Disconnect the battery leads.
Batteries con-
tain gases
which are flammable and explosive.
Wear eye protection during installa-
tion and remove all metal jewelry.
Do not lean over battery while
making connections.
Step (4) Model 03003
Select a convenient location for
mounting the Solenoid Remote
Control Assembly. The solenoid
INSTALLATION
Do not use for
lifting, support-
ing, or transporting people, or over
areas where people are present.
Disconnect power before servicing.
1. READ AND SAVE ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. DO NOT OVERLOAD. See
Performance information. Do not
maintain power to the winch if
the motor stalls. Overloads can
damage the winch and create
unsafe operating conditions.
3. LEARN TO USE WINCH. After
installing your winch, take the
time to practice using it so that
you are comfortable with it when
the need arises. Periodically check
the winch installation to assure
that all bolts are tight.
4. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO
OPERATE WINCH.
5. INSPECT ELECTRIC CABLE FIT-
TINGS FOR TIGHTNESS BEFORE
EACH USE.
6. REPLACE DAMAGED OR BROKEN
PARTS IMMEDIATELY WITH MAN-
UFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Never connect
winch to
110VAC power as fatal shock
may occur.
7. USE CAUTION WHEN using
the winch. KEEP PEOPLE,
PETS, AND PROPERTY
CLEAR OF THE PATH OF THE
LOAD. DO NOT USE WINCH TO
LIFT OR MOVE PEOPLE.
8. DO NOT USE THE WINCH TO
SUPPORT AN UNATTENDED
LOAD.
9. KEEP THE ELECTRIC CABLES FROM
HEAT, OIL, AND SHARP EDGES.
Periodically inspect for damage.
10. DO NOT OPERATE THE WINCH
WHEN TIRED OR UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALC0HOL, OR MEDICATION.
11. NEVER INSTALL WINCH IN SUCH
A WAY THAT THE WARNING
AND INSTRUCTION LABELS ARE
OBSCURED. Someone who has
not read this manual may need
to see them to understand the
proper operation of the winch.
12. Always operate the winch with
an unobstructed view of the
winching operation.
13. CHECK FOR CORRECT DIRECTION
OF ROTATION BEFORE USING
WINCH. The winch must be
properly wired to ensure correct
direction of drum rotation.
14. REMOVE AND STORE THE
REMOTE PENDANT ASSEMBLY IN
A SAFE PLACE when not in use
to prevent unauthorized use.
15. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE
REMOTE PENDANT BEFORE
WORKING IN OR AROUND
THE ROLLER FAIRLEAD OR
WINCH DRUM (THE DAN-
GER ZONE) to prevent the
winch from being turned on
accidentally. Use handsaver
when winding end of wire rope.
16. When lifting a load, slowly take
up the slack until it becomes
taut. Stop, recheck all winching
connections.
17. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD
ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such
alterations may weaken the
structural integrity of the winch,
and void your warranty.
18. Never allow shock loads to be
applied to winch.
