the motor is con-
figured for the proper operating
voltage available (see fig. 7). Make
sure that the electrical supply is
grounded and is rated for the
ampacity of the winch (refer to
specifications section). An improp-
erly grounded winch can cause
severe electrical shock or death.
Do not

!
use
winch to hold loads in
place. Use other means of
securing loads such as chains and tie
down straps. Use only factory
approved wire rope, pulley blocks,
switches, remote controls and other
accessories. Use of non-factory
approved components may cause
injury or property damage and
could void your warranty.
Do not machine or weld any part of
winch. Such alterations may weaken
structural integrity of winch and will
void warranty.
15. Never allow shock loads to be
applied to winch or wire rope.
16. Use caution when pulling or
lowering a load down a ramp or
incline. Keep people, pets and
property clear of the path of
the load.
17. When moving a load, slowly
take up wire rope slack until it
becomes taut. Stop, recheck all
winching connections. Be sure
the hook is properly seated. If a
nylon sling is used, check attach-
ment to load.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR MOUNTING
Flat blade or philips screwdriver
(1-motor dependant), open end or
socket wrenches - 9/16" (2), or
adjustable wrenches, torque wrench
- 35 Ft. lb. capacity (1-recommended).
HARDWARE REQUIRED
Suitable wiring and wire nuts
(see ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION sec-
tion), 1/2 inch conduit/cable fittings
(3 each).
I N S T A L L A T I O N
LOCATION
The mounting support for winch
must be capable of handling loads
in excess of those that winch is
rated for. Suggested locations are
on a support beam or wall.
Determine proper mounting sup-
port based on application.
This winch may be mounted in
either a horizontal or vertical posi-
tion (See Figure 5).

Vertical
Horizontal mounting is preferred.
If vertical, winch should be mounted
in such a way that debris or
contaminants will not enter vent slot
openings. In all installations, winch
must be mounted so that wire rope
feeds perpendicular to drum axis
and does not rub against drum sup-
ports or tie rods.
Drill four 7/16" (12 mm) diameter
holes as shown in Figure 6. Attach
winch to support with 3/8" hard-
ware provided. Recommended tight-
ening torque is 35 Ft. lb.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Electrical wiring should be per-
formed by a qualified electrician.
Wire winch in accordance with all
local building and electrical codes.
Branch circuit should be equipped
with a circuit breaker rated at 15
amperes, minimum (AC2000); 20
amperes, minimum (AC3000). Winch
and control may be either hard
wired or connected to mains with
suitable portable cordage. Refer to
Figure 7 for wiring diagram. Be sure
to connect the motor properly for
the correct voltage.
Failure to ground
WARNING
!
this winch could
result in fatal electrical shock.
Make sure that all wiring is
positioned so that moving parts
or load will not damage wiring.
Do not locate switch or control in a
place that puts operator near wire
rope or winch drum.

When properly wired, placing the
drum switch in the FORWARD posi-
tion will wind wire rope onto drum
and placing the switch in the
REVERSE position will pay rope off of
drum. Switch should be configured
to be of the "dead man" variety
(Refer to instructions provided with
switch). When switch is released, it
will return to the OFF position.
