kept in good condition. A fully charged battery and
proper connections are essential. Run the vehicle
engine during winching operations to keep battery
charged.
The remote control switch is water proof. It has push
buttons on either side. Make sure the motor has stopped
fully before reversing. To actuate winch simply plug

cavity. Do not leave switch plugged in when winch is
not in use.

Operating Instructions

The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the wire
rope for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The
clutch is operated by the shifter knob located on the gear

1. To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter knob
to the "OUT" position. Wire rope may now be
freespooled off the drum.
2. To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter knob
into the "IN" position. The winch is now ready for
pulling.
