Basic Operation
Check your vehicle:
• Check the battery level to ensure it is fully charged
• Examine the wire rope. Do not use the winch if the wire rope is frayed,
kinked or damaged.
• Check the Winch electrical connections to ensure that they are tight and
clean.
• Put the vehicle transmission in NEUTRAL.
Prepare the Winch:
• IF the vehicle with the winch is to remain in place during the winch
operation, engage the parking brake and chock the wheels (chocks sold
separately).
• Use the hook strap to pull out the wire rope by moving the Clutch Control
Knob to the "Released" position by pulling it out and away from the winch
then rotating it 90 degrees (see figure 6).

• DO NOT use a recovery strap while winching. They are designed to stretch and
can suddenly whip back towards the operator during a winching operation.

absorb the force released if the rope breaks (see figure 9).
