The transmitter has push buttons labeled
according to their function. Make sure the
motor has stopped fully before reversing to
prevent premature 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
transmitter to disable the transmitter when
winch is not in use. This will prolong the bat-
tery life of the transmitter. The transmitter auto-
matically 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
making alterations to wire lengths.
