The transmitter has push buttons labeled accord-
ing to their function. Make sure the motor has
stopped fully before reversing to prevent prema-
ture solenoid failure. To operate the winch hold
“ON/OFF” button for 2 seconds to activate the
“IN” and “OUT” functions. Run winch forward and
reverse to check connection and to verify winch
operating directions. The transmitter is clearly
labeled and a red LED flashes when the winch is
in operation. Pushing both buttons at the same
time will not damage your winch in any way.
Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button on the trans-
mitter to disable the transmitter when winch is not
in use. This will prolong the battery life of the
transmitter. The transmitter automatically turns off
after 20 minutes.
Rocker Switch Operation
Press Rocker Switch toward “IN” position to
spool cable “IN” and press Rocker Switch toward
“OUT” position to spool cable “OUT”.
See the following pages for installation of the
Rocker Switch. If your winch includes the
Wireless Remote, install it first, then the Rocker
Switch.
Rocker Switch Installation
Before Beginning Installation
1. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable
from battery. Turn off vehicle ignition.
Disengage winch clutch.
2. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for
easier access to installation area.
3. Locate and mark mounting location for
Solenoid Assembly. Choose a mounting
location that will remain protected and
dry. Solenoid must be mounted within
24” of winch motor. Solenoid should be
mounted on a flat surface.
4. Locate accessory wire from vehicle ignition
switch that is powered only when ignition is
ON. Use this wire when splicing to Red wire
on Rocker switch.
5. Make sure locations are close enough for
wiring connections to be made without mak-
ing alterations to wire lengths.
