Electrical Connections and Operations

For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical
system is adequate. Your battery must be kept in good
condition. A fully charged battery and proper connec-
tions are essential. Run the vehicle engine during winch-
ing operations to keep battery charged.

The remote control switch is waterproof. It has push but-
ton stations on either side. It is designed this way to pre-
vent quick winch reversals, which lead to solenoid fail-
ure. Make sure the motor has stopped fully before
reversing. To actuate winch simply plug remote control
switch into receptacle in black solenoid cover of winch.
Run winch forward and reverse to check connection and
to determine winch operating directions. Snap appropri-
ate "IN" and "OUT" disc into proper thumb cavity. The
switch is also color coded to aid you in not having to
guess at the direction your winch will run. DO NOT
LEAVE SWITCH PLUGGED IN WHEN WINCH IS NOT IN
USE.
