12.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooling Fan Mounting
Instructions
• The fan must be correctly installed to provide the
best performance. The fan should be mounted in a
location that is as clean, dry, and cool as possible.
The mounting location must also provide clearance
for the fan's control cable as well as the outlet
hose. When mounting the fan, insure that the inlet
is unobstructed and higher than the winch. Also
insure that the winch exhaust outlet is not near
the fan inlet.
• Best locations for the fan will vary depending on
the vehicle. Typical location include: near air
intake box and inner fender inside engine
compartment. Avoid mounting fan near exhaust
manifold, turbocharger, or radiator. Maximum
operating temperature is 175°F (80°C). Avoid
sharp edges when routing fan control cable and
hose.
• If your vehicle is used in extremely dusty
conditions you can choose to equip the winch
cooling fan with a high performance filter. Filter
part number RC-0790 available from K&N Filters is
recommended for this application. The filter can
be installed directly to the fan inlet.
WA R N I N G
To avoid serious injury or death
from electrical fire:
• Never route electrical cables:
-Across any sharp edges.
-Through or near moving parts.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLUTCH OPERATION
When the clutch is engaged the gear train is
coupled to the wire rope drum and power may be
transferred from the winch motor. When the clutch
is in free spool the gear train and wire rope drum
are uncoupled allowing the drum to rotate freely.
The clutch knob, located on the winch housing
opposite the motor, controls the clutch position.
To prevent damage, always fully engage or fully
disengage the clutch knob.
C AU T I O N
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
• Never engage or disengage clutch if
winch is under load, wire rope is in
tension or wire rope drum is moving.
