the wire rope is frayed, kinked or damaged.
2. Fully charge the vehicle's battery.
3. Check the Winch's electrical connections.
All connections must be tight and clean.
4. Put the vehicle's transmission in Neutral.
5. If the vehicle where the winch is mounted
is not supposed to be moved, engage the
emergency brake and block the wheels
using wheel chocks (sold separately).
6. To pull out the wire rope, move the Clutch Control to
the Released position, see the instructions for your
winch model under Clutch Operation section, slide
the loop of the Hook Strap over the hook, then pull
on the Hook Strap to pull out the wire rope.
WARNING! Leave at least five full
turns of wire rope on the drum.
