hook for spooling or unspooling the cable/rope.
CAUTION
Always use gloves to protect hands when handling
the cable/rope. Never let the cable/rope slide through
your hands.
WARNING
When re-spooling the cable/rope, ensure that it
spools in the under-wind position with the cable/rope
entering the drum from the bottom, not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves, keep
a slight load on the cable/rope while pushing the IN
button to draw in the cable/rope. Walk toward the
winch not allowing the cable to slide through your
hands. Do not let your hands get within 12 inches
(30 cm) of the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the
winch and repeat the procedure until a few feet of
cable/rope are left. Keep hands clear of the fairlead
and drum while the winch is under power.
CAUTION
Never wrap the cable/rope around any object and hook
it back onto itself.
CAUTION
Operating duration of winching pulls should be kept as
short as possible.
If the motor becomes excessively hot to the touch,
stop winching immediately and let it cool down for a
few minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at
or near the rated load.
CAUTION
Never maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
This electric winch is designed and made for short
duty use and should not be used in constant duty
applications. See Duty Cycle Ratings section in the

General Tips for Safe Operation
Your winch is rated at a 1100 lb. (500 kg) capacity.
Overloads can damage the winch, motor and/or cable/
rope. For loads over 550 lb. (250 kg) we recommend the
use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the cable/
rope line. This will aid in two ways:
– reduce the number or cable/rope layers on the drum,
as well as,
– reduce the load on the cable/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.
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
cable/rope spools on the drum, etc.
Inspect the cable/rope and equipment before each
use. A frayed or damaged cable/rope shall be replaced
immediately. Use only manufacturer’s identical
replacement cable/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 combination roller hawse
to help guide the cable/rope and to reduce binding on
short side pulls. Do not winch from an acute angle as the
cable/rope will pile up on one side of the drum causing
damage to cable/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 cable/rope at
a 90° angle to the winch/vehicle. When pulling a heavy
load, place a blanket or jacket over the cable/rope five or
six feet from the hook.
1100 lb.
500 kg
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 550 lb. (250 kg), we recommend
the use of the snatch block/pulley block to double line the
cable/rope.
201371 - 1100 LB. (500 KG) PORTABLE WINCH
OPERATION

Single Line
Double Line
This reduces the load on the winch and the strain on the
cable/rope by approximately 50%.
Cable/Rope Abrasion Sleeve
The winch should be set up to avoid any rough surface
from contacting the cable/rope. If that is not possible, the
abrasion sleeve can be used to help protect the cable/
rope.
Winching Techniques A-X
A. Take time to assess your situation and plan your
pull.
B. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
C. Attach the hook strap to the clevis hook.
D. Power OUT the cable/rope to your desired anchor
point using the hook strap.
E. Secure the clevis hook to the anchor point: sling,
chain or snatch block. Do not attach the clevis hook
back onto the cable/rope.
F. Use tree saver to attach the anchor clevis hook to a
suitable point, like trailer head or tree base.
G. This winch is provided with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) built into the plug of the power
supply cord. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric shock. Plug into
a 120V AC circuit and press RESET.
H. Drape a blanket or jacket over the cable/rope
approximately 5 to 6 feet from the hook. Open the
hood for added protection.
I. Power in the cable/rope guiding the cable/rope
under tension to draw up the slack in the cable/
rope. Once the cable/rope is under tension, stand
clear. Never step over the cable/rope.
J. Double check your anchors and make sure all
connections are secure.
K. Inspect the cable/rope.
L. Clear the area. Make sure all spectators stand clear
and that no one is directly in front or behind the
vehicle, load or anchor point.
M. Begin winching. Be sure that the cable/rope is
winding evenly and tightly around the drum. Avoid
shock loads; keep the cable/rope under tension.
N. The vehicle to be winched should be placed in
neutral and the emergency brake released. Only
release the brake pedal when under full tension,
if applicable. Avoid shock loads to the winch. This
can damage the winch, cable/rope and vehicle.
O. The winch is meant for short duty use. Under full
load with a single line do not power on for more
than a minute without letting the motor cool down
for 20 minutes and then resume the winching
operation. See Duty Cycle Ratings section in the
back of this manual for more information.
P. The winching operation is complete once the load
is on stable ground and is able to drive under its
own power.
Q. Secure the load. Be sure to set the brakes and
place the vehicle in park, if applicable.
R. Release the tension on the cable/rope. The winch is
not meant to hold the load for long periods of time.
S. Disconnect the cable/rope from the anchor.
Disconnect the clevis hook from the load being
pulled.
T. Rewind the cable/rope. Make sure that any cable/
rope already on the drum has spooled tightly and
neatly. If not, draw out the cable/rope and re-spool
from the point where the rope is tight.

SUGGESTED ACCESSORIES
12
U. Keep your hands clear of the winch and hawse as
the cable/rope is being drawn in.
V. Secure the clevis hook and hook strap.
W. Disconnect the winch by disconnecting the anchor
clevis hook, clevis hook, unplug power supplier
cord and store in a clean, dry place.
X. Clean and inspect connections for next winching
operation.
SUGGESTED ACCESSORIES
CAUTION
Any accessories to be used with your winch should be
properly sized and rated. Always inspect these tools
before each use for damage that could reduce their
strength.
Snatch Block (not included)
Useful to redirect loads, it’s secret power lies in creating
a mechanical advantage of a winch. When a winch line
is run out to a block and back to a vehicle’s anchor point,
the pull force becomes 2x (while speed of recovery is
halved).
Tree Savers (included)
A tree saver is essential for connecting a cable/rope
to almost any anchor point but is primarily designed to
prevent damage to trees used as anchor points. The
tree saver should be wrapped around the chosen tree or
anchor point as low to the ground as possible and the
two ends brought together and joined with a shackle. The
shackle then becomes the recovery point to where the
cable or extension strap or anchor clevis hook is joined.
D-Shackles (included)
Only bow shackles or soft shackles that are load-rated
should be used for vehicle recovery. Load ratings are
visible on the shackle and will be in the form of WLL
(working load limit) or SWL (safe working load). The
shackles, or any other recovery equipment, used should
be sized correctly for the winching task. Pack more than
you need.
Gloves (included)
A good pair of gloves are essential for working with steel
cable and helpful for handling cable/rope. You never
know who or what you’ll run into on the trail and having a
pair of gloves at the ready is ideal hand protection.
MAINTENANCE
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic
maintenance.
WARNING
Never operate a damaged or defective winch.
WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the winch.
NOTICE

Duty Cycle Ratings
Duty Cycle Ratings typically specify continuous,
intermittent, or special duty (typically expressed
in minutes). The IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission) lists the following ratings:
S1 - Continuous duty
The motor works at a constant load for enough time to
reach temperature equilibrium.
S2 - Short-time duty
The motor works at a constant load, but not long
enough to reach temperature equilibrium, and the rest
periods are long enough for the motor to reach ambient
temperature.
S3 - Intermittent periodic duty
Sequential, identical run and rest cycles with constant
load. Temperature equilibrium is never reached. Starting
current has little effect on temperature rise.
This winch is considered S2, short-time duty. Please
review this table showing how load affects run time.
