controls and features. Save this manual for future reference.
Winch
1. Motor – 1.2 HP (0.9 kW) 12V DC motor provides
power to the planetary gear mechanism.
2. Braking System – Braking action is automatically
applied to the winch drum when the winch motor is
stopped and there is a load on the synthetic rope.
3. Winch Drum – The winch drum is the cylinder
on which the synthetic rope is stored. It can feed
or wind the rope depending on the remote winch
switch.
4. Planetary Gear System – The reduction gears
convert the winch motor power into extreme pulling
forces. This system allows high torque while
maintaining compact size and light weight.
5. Free Spooling Clutch – The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“Out”) the spooling
drum from the gear train, free spool. Engaging the
clutch (“In”) locks the winch into the gear system.
6. Mounting Channel
7. Circuit Breaker – The circuit breaker is installed
as close to the battery as possible to protect in the
event of an electrical fault. The assembly contains
two (2) thirty amp (30A) circuit breakers that are
a self-resetting, slow opening circuit breakers and
are designed to protect the winch motor from an
overweight pull or long full weight pull. They will
simply get hot and trip in the event of an electrical
fault. Once cooled down they will reset.
8. Rocker Switch – Rocker switch with handlebar
mount for powering the synthetic rope in or out of
your winch drum.
9. Solenoid/Contactor – Power from the vehicle
battery flows through the weather sealed contactor
before being directed to the winch motor.
10. Synthetic Rope – 3/16 in. × 50 ft.
(4.8 mm × 15.2 m) Synthetic rope designed
specifically for load capacity of 3,500 lb (1,588 kg).

OPERATION
General Tips for Safe Operation
Your 100722 winch is rated at a 3,500 lb (1,588 kg)
capacity in first layer (max) when spooling the first rope
layer on the drum. Overloads can damage the winch,
motor and/or synthetic rope. For loads over 1,750 lb.
(794 kg) we recommend the use of the pulley block/
snatch block to double the synthetic rope line. This will
aid in two ways:
– reduce the number or rope layers on the drum,
as well as,
– reduce the load on the rope by as much as 50%.
When doubling the line back to the vehicle, attach to the
tow hook, frame or other load bearing part. The vehicle
engine should be kept running during operation of the
winch to minimize battery drain and maximize power and
speed of the winch. If the winch is used for a considerable
time with the engine off the battery may be drained and
too weak to restart the motor.
Get to know your winch before you actually need to use
it. We recommend that you set up a few test runs to
familiarize yourself with rigging techniques, the sounds
your winch makes under various loads, the way the rope
spools on the drum, etc.
Inspect the synthetic rope and equipment before
each use. A frayed or damaged rope shall be replaced
immediately. Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement rope with the exact specifications.
Inspect the winch installation and bolts to ensure that all
bolts are tight before each operation. Store the remote
control inside your vehicle in a place that it will not be
damaged.
Any winch that appears to be damaged in any way,
is found to be worn, or operates abnormally MUST
BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED. It is
recommended that the necessary repairs be made by a
manufacturer’s authorized repair facility.
Pull only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the
vehicle manufacturer. Only attachments and/or adapters
supplied by the manufacturer are to be used.
Self Recovery
Locate a suitable anchor such as a strong tree trunk or
boulder. Always use a sling as an anchor point.
Your winch is equipped with a aluminum hawse to help
guide the synthetic rope and to reduce binding on short
side pulls. Do not winch from an acute angle as the
synthetic rope will pile up on one side of the drum causing
damage to synthetic rope and the winch.
Correct Incorrect
Short pulls from an angle can be used to straighten the
vehicle. Long pulls should be done with the synthetic rope
at a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle. When pulling a heavy
load, place a blanket or jacket over the synthetic rope five
or six feet from the hook.
In the event of a broken cable it will dampen the snap
back. For additional protection open the hood of the
vehicle. For pulls over 1,750 lb. (794 kg), we recommend
the use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the
synthetic rope.
100722 - 3500 LB. (1588 KG) WINCH
OPERATION
14
Single Line Double Line
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the
rope by approximately 50%.
Synthetic Rope Abrasion Sleeve
The winch should be set up to avoid any rough surface
from contacting the rope. If that is not possible, the
abrasion sleeve can be used to help protect the rope (A).
A
Winching Techniques A-Z
A. Take time to assess your situation and plan your pull.
B. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
C. Disengage the clutch to allow free-spooling and also
save battery power.
D. Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook.
E. Pull out the synthetic rope to your desired anchor
point using the hook strap.
F. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: Sling,
chain or snatch block. Do not attach the hook back
onto the synthetic rope.
G. Engage the clutch.
H. Connect the remote control to the winch. If you are
going to control the winch from inside your vehicle
then pass the remote through an open window to
avoid the wires being pinched in the door.
I. Start your engine to ensure power is being
replenished to the battery.
J. Drape a blanket or jacket over the synthetic rope
approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook. Open the
hood for added protection.
K. Power in the synthetic rope guiding the rope under
tension to draw up the slack in the rope. Once the
rope is under tension, stand clear. Never step over
the synthetic rope.
L. Double check your anchors and make sure all
connections are secure.
M. Inspect the synthetic rope. Make sure there are at
least 5 wraps of synthetic rope around the winch
drum.
N. Clear the area. Make sure all spectators stand clear
and that no one is directly in front or behind the
vehicle or anchor point.
O. Begin winching. Be sure that the synthetic rope is
winding evenly and tightly around the drum. The
vehicle that is being winched can be slowly driven to
add assistance to the winching process. Avoid shock
loads; keep the synthetic rope under tension.
P. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in
neutral and the emergency brake released. Only
release the brake pedal when under full tension.
Avoid shock loads to the winch. This can damage the
winch, rope and vehicle.
Q. The winch is meant for intermittent use. Under full
load with a single line rig do not power in for more
than a minute without letting the motor cool down
for a few minutes and then resume the winching
operation.
R. The winching operation is complete once the vehicle
is on stable ground and is able to drive under its own
power.
S. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes and
place the vehicle in park.
T. Release the tension on the synthetic rope. The winch
is not meant to hold the vehicle for long periods of
time.
U. Disconnect the synthetic rope from the anchor.
V. Rewind the synthetic rope. Make sure that any rope
already on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly.
If not, draw out the rope and re-spool from the point
where the rope is tight.

W. Keep your hands clear of the winch drum and hawse
as the synthetic rope is being drawn in.
X. Secure the hook and hook strap.
Y. Disconnect the remote control and store in a clean,
dry place.
Z. Clean and inspect connections and mounting
hardware for next winching operation.
MAINTENANCE
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic
maintenance.

Lubrication
All moving parts within the Electric Winch having been
Lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the
factory. No internal lubrication is required. Lubricate
Cable Assembly periodically using a light penetrating oil.
Synthetic Rope Replacement
It is recommended that any modifications be performed
by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility, and that
only manufacturer-supplied parts be used.
1. Move the clutch to the “Out” position.
2. Extend Synthetic Rope to its full length. Note how
the existing rope is connected to the inside of the
drum.
3. Remove old Synthetic Rope and attach new one.
4. Retract Synthetic Rope onto drum being careful not
to allow kinking.
Synthetic Rope
Periodically rinse the synthetic rope with water to remove
any sand, dirt, mud, or debris that can become embedded
or build up in the rope during use. This will help extend
the life of the rope.
NOTICE
Inspect rope before and after each use. If rope
becomes frayed it must be replaced.
