General Description

This KEEPER Winch is equipped with a series wound, 12 Volt DC motor and is designed for
®
INTERMITTENT GENERAL DUTY USE. This electric winch is similar to most electric motor driven tools and
should not be allowed to become overly hot. Stop winch if motor starts to labor or end of motor becomes
hot to the touch. Stop winching and allow motor to cool down. Minimum electrical requirements are 60 amp
alternator and battery with 650 CCA (cold cranking amp) capacity. This Winch (FIGURE 2) is not intended
for use in lifting/hoisting applications and the manufacturer does not warrant it to be suitable for such use.
The Freespool Clutch disengages the gearbox to allow the wire rope to be pulled out without using electric
power. A Remote Switch with 15' lead and wireless switch allows a wide variety of mounting options.

! General Safety Warnings & Cautions
1. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR WINCH. After installing the Winch,
practice using it before the need arises. NEVER ALLOW PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS PRODUCT
TO OPERATE IT. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND LEATHER GLOVES WHILE WORKING WITH
MACHINERY.
2. DO NOT EXCEED RATED CAPACITY OF
THE WINCH. DO NOT OVERLOAD! DO NOT
ATTEMPT PROLONGED PULLS OF HEAVY
LOADS! Overloads can damage the Winch
and/or the wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions. FOR LOADS OVER
75% OF THE RATED WINCH CAPACITY,
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A PULLEY
BLOCK TO DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE .
(Figure 3). This reduces the load on the Winch, the strain on the wire rope and electrical system.
3. Never apply a load to your winch with the wire rope fully extended. Keep at least 5 wraps on the
winch drum.
4. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHOULD BE RUNNING DURING WINCH OPERATION. If winching is performed with
the engine turned off, the battery may be too weak to restart the engine.
5. DO NOT operate your vehicle to assist the Winch in pulling the load. The combination of the Winch and
vehicle pulling together could overload the wire rope and the Winch.
6. WHEN IN USE, ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE ROPE, HOOK AND WINCH.
FIGURE 4
11. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE BACK ONTO ITSELF. This will damage the wire rope. Use a KEEPER
02953 3" X 6' WINCH STRAP, sling, tree saver or other recommended accessory for this type
connection (Figure 5).

7. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIPMENT FRE-
QUENTLY. A FRAYED, KINKED OR FLATTENED
WIRE ROPE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDI-
ATELY. Periodically check the Winch installation
to ensure that all bolts are tight.
8. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when han-
dling wire rope. DO NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE
THROUGH YOUR GLOVED OR UNGLOVED
HANDS. ALWAYS USE THE HAND-SAVER STRAP
when guiding the wire rope in or out (Figure 4).
9. NEVER WINCH WITH LESS THAN 5 WRAPS OF
WIRE ROPE AROUND THE WINCH DRUM since
the wire rope end fastener may NOT withstand
full load.
10.KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT WIRE ROPE AND
HOOK WHEN OPERATING WINCH. NEVER STEP
OVER TAUT WIRE ROPE.
12. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR LIFTING OR
MOVING PEOPLE!
13. YOUR WINCH IS NOT INTENDED FOR OVER
HEAD HOISTING OPERATIONS.
14. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS FROM EXTREME
ANGLES. This will cause the wire rope to pile
Sling
and jam in the Winch, causing damage to the
wire rope or Winch (Figure 6).
