Electrical Connections and Operations
For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical sys-
tem is adequate. Your battery must be kept in good condi-
tion. A fully charged battery and proper connections are es-
sential. Run the vehicle engine during winching operations to
keep battery charged.
The remote control switch is waterproof. It has push button
stations on either side. It is designed this way to prevent
quick winch reversals, which lead to solenoid failure. 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 appropriate "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.
Route red and black battery cables up to battery. CAUTION:
BE SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT DRAWN TAUT
ACROSS ANY SURFACES WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAM-
AGE THEM. Connect red cable to positive (+) battery termi-
nal and black cable to negative (-) terminal.
