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. IF IN DOUBT OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL US ON 1300 780 141. WE ARE HERE TO HELP.
