ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (continued)
Connect black cable from motor ground stud to negative battery terminal. A good electrical ground is required for
proper performance. In applications where the chassis is non-grounded, a jumper wire (#440315) will be required
between the winch and the motor isolated ground terminal.
he remote control switch is waterproof and has push button stations on either side. It is designed this way to
T
prevent quick winch reversals, which lead to solenoid failure. Make sure the winch motor has stopped fully before
reversing. When first setting up your winch, follow the directions for inserting the proper "IN" or "OUT" label in the
thumb button. The switch is also color coded to aid you in determining the direction your winch will run.
WINCH WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS
GROUND CABLE IS INSTALLED FROM THE
ISOLATED GROUND TERMINAL TO THE
NEGATIVE BATTERY POST.

ADJUSTMENT OF RATED LOAD LIMITER
1. Make some test pulls with winch (using a load cell or spring scale) to determine if switch is at desired rated load
setting.
Applicable setting is 100% to 125% of rated load.
2. If load is not within above range, remove tamper-proof compound in threaded hole (on top of set screws #4).
Remove top set screw.
3. Loosen bottom set screw approximately 2 turns counter clockwise.
4. To reduce line pull, thread switch #1 "IN" by turning clockwise. To increase line pull, the switch "OUT".
5. After desired setting is reached, tighten bottom set screw securely.
6. Re-install top set screw and tighten securely. Fill threaded hole with a potting-type compound which must be
removed before any future adjustment is made.
End of Service Measures
When winch reaches the end of its serviceable life, dispose of per local environmental regulations.
