Operating Instructions
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the
wire rope for hooking onto the load or anchor
point. The clutch is operated by the shifter
located on the end of the winch as follows:
1. To disengage the clutch, turn the clutch
shifter to the "FREESPOOL" position. Wire
rope may now be freespooled off the drum.
2. To engage the clutch, turn the clutch shifter
to the "ENGAGED" position. The winch is
now ready for pulling.
Your battery must be kept in good condition. A
fully charged battery and proper connections are
essential. Run the ATV engine during winching
operations to keep battery charged.

The transmitter has push buttons labeled
according to their function. Make sure the
motor has stopped fully before reversing to pre-
vent 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 battery life of the transmitter.
The transmitter automatically turns off after 20
minutes.
