Installation Instructions
Bolt the winch to a structure capable of supporting at least 5 times the load the winch will be pulling. When bolting the winch down, use at
least 3 grade 5, 3/8 dia. bolts, flat washers, and locknuts (not supplied). Always use the widest possible bolt pattern at the end opposite the
direction of line pull. The winch stand must be of adequate strength and equal size to the base of the winch frame. Place washers under the
heads of the bolts and place the bolts into the slots of the base (those nearest the outside of the frame). Put a lock nut onto each bolt.
Tighten nuts onto bolts until winch is secure on structure. Install steel cable, strap, or rope onto the drum in such a way that the ratchet pawl
is operating (clicking) as the line is pulling the load.

or rope keeper. The rope
must weave through the
drum outer wall and be
secured beneath itself as

of at least 3 times the maximum load for
all components used.
• A loud clicking sound from the ratchet
must be heard when lifting the load. If a
loud clicking sound is not heard do not use
and replace ratchet components
immediately.
• Never release the crank handle unless the
ratchet pawl is fully engaged and the load
is supported.
