WARNING
INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS WINCH. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. RETAIN THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
• This brake winch is built for multi-purpose hauling and lifting operations. It is not to be used as a
hoist for lifting, supporting or transporting people, or for loads over areas where people could be
present.
• Respect this winch. High forces are created when using a winch, creating potential safety hazards.
It should be operated and maintained in accordance with instructions. Never allow children or any-
one who is not familiar with the operation of the winch to use it. A winch accident could result in
personal injury.
• Check winch for proper operation on each use. Do not use if damaged. Seek immediate repairs.
• Never exceed rated capacity. Excess load may cause premature failure and could result in serious
personal injury. This winch is rated on first layer of cable on the hub. Using more layers of cable
increases the load on the winch.
• Never apply load on winch with cable fully extended. Keep at least three full turns of cable on the
reel. Check cable on every use. Replace at the first sign of kinks, broken wires, deformation or any
other damage.
• Secure load properly. When winching operation is complete, do not depend on winch to support
load.
• Operate with hand power only. This winch must not be operated with a motor of any kind. If the
winch cannot be cranked easily with one hand, it is probably over-loaded.
• If winch will be used in freezing, icy conditions, apply silicone spray to ratchet pawl and spacer
items, V, W, X, or Y. Do not spray other brake mechanism parts.
ASSEMBLY –
Thread the handle onto the winch
drive shaft and be certain that a clicking noise is pro-
duced when the handle is turned clockwise. Install
the spring and locknut (Items E and G) on the end of
the drive shaft as shown on parts drawing. These
parts may appear to serve no function, but they pro-
vide several important fail-safe features, and must
not be altered or removed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS –
winch reel by turning winch handle in clockwise direc-
tion. This should produce a loud, sharp, clicking
noise. The load will remain in position when the han-
dle is released. Wind cable off the winch reel by turn-
ing winch handle counterclockwise (no noise will be
produced). The load will remain in position when the
handle is released, but for extra security it is recom-
mended that the handle be turned clockwise until at
least two clicks are heard. This will add extra tightness
to the brake mechanism. Always satisfy yourself that
the winch is holding the load before releasing the
winch handle.
IMPORTANT: Sufficient load must be applied to
the cable to overcome internal resistance and oper-
ate the brake properly, otherwise turning the crank
handle counterclockwise will only remove the han-
WINCH MAINTENANCE –
maximum performance, a periodic inspection for
any necessary preventive maintenance must be
made. Check at least once annually and more fre-
quently when the winch is exposed to an environ-
ment which is particularly dirty or wet. For continued
smooth performance and increased life, occasional-
ly grease gears, reel shaft and handle threads. An

MOUNTING
ATTACHMENT –
For maximum strength and safe-
ty, this winch must be mounted with three 3/8" bolts
(M10), washers and lock washers. Use Grade 8 for
1500 lb/680 kg or greater capacity. (See parts draw-
ing). Using fewer bolts or alternate locations will
result in damage to the winch base and the winch
may malfunction.
Attach cable or rope by method shown in
sketch.
dle from the shaft – the reel will not turn. The mini-
mum operating load requirement is 50 lb (23 kg) for
Models
DLB350A,
DLB800AG, DLB1200A and DLB1200AG, 75 lb (34
kg) for DLB1500A and DLB1500AG, 175 lb (80 kg)
for DLB2000AG and DLB2500A.
A lockout lever for the purpose of 'freewheeling' cable
out when there is no load on the winch can be added
to all DLB winches except the 350 lb (160 kg) models.
To 'freewheel' cable out, simply turn the handle coun-
terclockwise until lockout lever can be engaged
behind handle hub. In this condition cable can be eas-
ily pulled from the winch drum.
WARNING: Never put winch in freewheel mode if
any potential for a load on the cable exists. Engaging
the lockout lever keeps the winch from stopping in the
event that a load is accidentally applied.
occasional drop of oil on the drive shaft bearings is
also recommended. If winch will be used in freezing,
icy conditions, apply silicone spray to ratchet pawl
and spacer items V, W, X or Y. Note: Do not oil or
grease brake mechanism items H and J.
Keep winch in good working order. Damaged or
severely-worn parts create unnecessary dangers and
could result in personal injury or property damage.
