Assembly and Installation (Continued)BATTERY CABLES SHOULD NOT BE DRAWN TAUT. LEAVE SLACKFOR SOME CABLE MOVEMENT. THE BATTERY CABLES SHOULD BESECURE, OUT OF THE WAY OF MOVING PARTS, ROAD DEBRIS, OR ANYPOSSIBILITY OF BEING DAMAGED BY OPERATION OR MAINTENANCEOF VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE BATTERY CABLES MAY BE ROUTEDUNDER THE VEHICLE, ATTACHING THEM TO THE FRAME USINGSUITABLE FASTENERS SUCH AS CABLE TIES (NOT INCLUDED).DO NOT ATTACH BATTERY CABLES TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DRIVESHAFT, EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE, FUEL LINE, OR ANY OTHERCOMPONENTS WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY CABLESTHROUGH HEAT OR MOTION, OR CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. IF AHOLE IS DRILLED THROUGH THE BUMPER OR ANY OTHER PART OFTHE VEHICLE, MAKE SURE TO INSTALL A RUBBER GROMMET (NOTINCLUDED) IN THE HOLE TO PREVENT FRAYING OF THE BATTERYCABLES AT THAT POINT. THE USE OF AT LEAST A 650 COLD CRANKINGAMPS (CCA) BATTERY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.There are machined pockets at each ofthe four inside base corners that fit aflange head whiz nut. Place a nut intoeach pocket and center the winch overthe mounting base holes. Tip: A touchof bearing grease can hold the 4 nuts inplace prior to fastening the flange headwhiz bolts. In some rare mounting situations drilling for bolt holes may berequired. Using a 15mm socket, threadthe four 10mm x 1.5 x 35mm boltsthrough the bottom of the winch mountplate or bumper and into the whiz nuts.FlangeHead Nut(10mm x1.5mm)Flange Head Whiz Bolt(10mm x 1.5mm x 35mm)Winch MountPlate or BumperWinch Mounting:Mount the supplied Hawse Fairlead tothe Mounting Frame (not included) usingsupplied Bolts and Nuts.Use a torque wrench and 10mm socketand torque each mounting bolt to50 Ft-lbs.The winch MUST be properly secured toa winch mount bumper or an approvedwinch mount plate with the included10mm nuts and bolts (qty 4/each).4

Self recovery that is safe for you, bystandersand the environment requires productknowledge, planning and practice.your knowledge by studying thesupplied glovebox-sized Q Series WinchOperator’s Guide Manual and also bylearning from more experienced off-roadenthusiasts. The broad conditions wherewinch-based self-recovery are requiredare discussed in the supplied gloveboxsized guidebook. Keep the suppliedbooklet in the winch installed vehicleglovebox after winch installation as ahandy reference. Develop and rely onyour own good judgment at all times.Be aware there are specific techniquesand hazards associated with recoverywinching.

Remote Controller SetupRubber remoteplug coverSecuring Collar"D" ShapedRemotePlug EndRemoteHandleCordPlug capFor Wired Operation:There is no need to turn on the winchwith the Power Button (the button mustbe out for wired operation). Unscrew theremote plug cap. Plug the 12’ long remotecord into the handheld remote controller.Make sure that you align the cord withthe three indexing notches in the remotehandle. Thread the securing collar ontothe remote handle to ensure a proper connection. Next, loosen the RubberPlug Cover on the right hand side of thewinch. Plug the “D” shaped end of theRemote Cord into the correspondingreceptacle on the right hand side of thewinch. Be sure that the plug is fullyengaged onto the winch as shown.Rubber PowerButton CoverBlue "Wired"Indicator LightRedRockerSwitchWinch PowerButtonWIRELESS MODEWIRED MODEIn the event of an emergency, the winchPower Button can be pressed to stopwinch rotation.

Remote Controller Battery ReplacementRemove 3 PhillipsHead ScrewsBattery Replacement Procedure:Remove the three (#1 size) Phillips headscrews that attach the winch controllerhalves.NOTE: The presence of a battery is NOTrequired whenever using a“WIRED” remote controller. But, a charged batteryis necessary when using a “WIRELESS”remote controller. If the wireless modeis not functioning properly, the batterymay need replacement.Carefully remove the old CR123A orCR123 Lithium battery and replace withnew. Gently align and position the winchcontroller halves together and fasten thethree Phillips head screws. Do not overtighten!

Winch Clutch Operation DetailsEngagedFree SpoolThere are two positions of the clutchhandle. The Clutch is either “engaged” or“free spooling”. Clutch allows operatorto manually engage or disengage thespooling drum from the gearset using theclutch lever.NEVER ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE CLUTCH IF THE WINCH IS UNDERLOAD, THE WINCH ROPE IS UNDER TENSION OR THE SPOOL ISMOVING IN ANY WAY.9
Clutch Handle Removal (Optional)NOTE: Our Patent Pending removableClutch Handle doubles as a “key”that can be temporarily removed todeter winch line theft, vandalism andpranksters.Once the Clutch Handle is removed, itcan be stored in the vehicles glove boxor console and used only when winching.Clutch handle removal is optional.Rotate Clutch Handle to the “FREESPOOL” position to reveal the set screwthat holds the handle in place. Using a2.5 MM Allen wrench, back out the setscrew until the Clutch Handle lifts off butdo not remove the handle at this time.Rotate the clutch selector to the“ENGAGED” position. You may removethe Clutch Handle now and keep it ina safe place. We suggest keeping theClutch Handle somewhere in the vehicle,Note: If the handle is not present whenwinching is needed, a standard 3/8” drivesocket wrench extension can be used torotate the clutch selector mechanism.DO NOT KEEP THECLUTCH HANDLEON THE WINCH UNLESS THE SET SCREW ISFULLY ENGAGED TO SECURE THE HANDLE INPLACE.US PATENT PENDING10
Winch Care and Maintenance:Winch Care and Cleaning:Do not direct very high-pressure water atyour winch. Use low-pressure (normal)car wash soap and water to cleanyour winch. With the remote controldisconnected and the protective bootscovering the remote control socket andPower Button sockets, wash normallywith your vehicle. During winter exposureto road salt, wash the winch as soon aspossible to avoid corrosion. Always washper the recommendations above.Battery Requirements:Our powerful series wound motorsand class-leading low gear ratiosgive fast line speeds with a “BatteryFriendly” low current draw that willget the most winching time from yourbattery's available charge state. A fullycharged battery and good connectionsare essential to the proper operation ofyour winch. The minimum requirementfor a 12 volt automotive DC batteryis 650 Cold Cranking Amps.
