Installing Handle Roller Assembly:
Assemble handle assembly as shown and torque locknut to 20-25 ft-lbs., using a 9/16" socket.
Adjustable Handle (6" to 9" and Right or Left Hand Drive):
This handle can be mounted not only in different length configurations, but also in a right or left hand orientation. In order to switch to a right or left hand
drive first remove the bolt and washers from each side of the drive shaft. Push the hex shaft 1/2"-3/4" through to the other side. Do not try to remove the
shaft completely in order to keep the internal gears and bushings inline. Place the handle bolt and washers on the handle side and torque to 22-25 ft-lbs.
Then repeat for the opposite side of the shaft. Do not over torque.
Attaching Winch Strap:
Use strap anchor provided with winch as pictured above. Pass the strap loop under the cross bolt or through the center hub slot, insert strap anchor in the
strap loop, then pull tight. Always maintain a minimum of three complete wraps of strap on the drum.
- Inspect strap and replace if damaged.
- Check mounting hardware for proper tightness and re-torque if necessary.
- Gears, ratchet contact points and shaft bushings must be kept lubricated with a thin oil or grease.
Failure to follow these warnings and instructions may result
