BEFORE INSTALLING, READ THIS DOCUMENT
NOT DOING SO MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY
1. Before installing your winch check the battery size in
your vehicle. Battery size must be 650cca or greater
to ensure proper and safe operation.
2. Before using your winch the winch rope must be
unspooled to the first layer on the drum and wound
back on under load. A good way to do this is to connect
to a tree with the car in neutral and apply the handbrake
slightly and winch in guiding the rope on neatly and
evenly. Failure to spool the winch rope on under load
before first use will risk damaging the rope and/or
crushing the winch drum tube.
3. Make sure all bolts and nuts are firmly secured but
not over tensioned on the winch including tiebar and
gearbox bolts.
4. Make sure the hammerlock pin is fully inserted into the hook
recess using the central retaining ring to keep it in place.
5. Make sure your winch control box black thin earth
wire is connected to the earth terminal on the electric
motor. This ensures a solid earth point for your solenoid
control. The thick earth cable from the motor MUST be
connected to the battery negative terminal. A chassis
connection is not sufficient.
6. Battery terminals which exhibit corrosion or buildup
are not suitable to be used as connection points for a
Carbon Winch. Replace with new terminals. Ensure
that the winch cables are connected directly to
the battery terminal, not bunched on top of other
accessory wiring
7. You should never winch more than 20-30 seconds
in one pull. The winch and your car battery need time
to recover and you should respect the duty cycle of
your winch and the health of your battery. Prolonged
winching can destroy your battery, winch motor and
solenoid.
8. If you can hear the winch struggling to pull your
vehicle on a single line pull, use a snatch block to
setup a double line pull to halve the effort. If the
winch still struggles, then you need to evaluate your
anchor placement and work on a better line for recovery.
Do not continue winching if you can see your vehicle is
not making progress during the recovery. Reassess what
you are doing and work out a better recovery setup.
9. The wireless remote controls have a fail safe device
installed, to operate the wireless remote you must
hold down both buttons until the red LED lights up. The
remote is now active. The remote will turn itself off after
a one minute thirty seconds to conserve battery.
