The Endurance winch is powered by a 1.5 hp permanent magnet motor designed for intermittent general

duty use. It is not designed as an industrial hoist or to be used in the movement of people. A free spool

clutch disengages the gear box to allow cable to be manually pulled out. A tension plate eliminates fouling

the cable and spools evenly

SAFETY WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS

1 Do not operate winch under influence of drugs or alcohol

2 Read manual before using any winch

3 Always use heavy gloves when handling wire rope

4 Never hook the cable back upon itself. The cable can break under tension and cause injury and damage.

See Figure 1

5 Stay clear of wire rope and keep others away when in operation or with load on wire. Do not stand in line

with a cable under tension

6 Inspect winch and wire rope before each use. Do not use winch if wire rope or winch shows wear or

damage

7 Replace any parts as needed before using the winch

8 Do not exceed the winch capacity and always have 5 wraps of cable on the drum

9 Do not place hands near the fairlead when winch is in operation. Always use the protective hand-saving

belt when spooling. See Figure 3

10 Do not use the winch as a hoist or to move people

11 Do not use winch to secure a load or tow vehicles

12 Do not submerge winch in water

13 Avoid injury and property damage, be safe and think first before operating winch

14 Look to see where the drill bit will come through before drilling holes for installation

15 Never drill into the gas tank or electrical wiring

16 Place towel or sandbag over wire while winch is in use

17 Do not allow winch to overheat. If hot or is too warm to touch, allow to cool down

SAFETY WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS (continued)

Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles as this will cause the wire rope to pile up on one end of the drum (Figure 2). This can jam the wire rope in the winch causing damage to the rope or the winch.

CAUTION

Keep hands clear of wire rope, hook and fairlead opening during operation. Always use handsaving belt to hold hook when spooling

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

When installing the Endurance winch, your installation may vary from the manual diagrams and instructions included here due to

vehicle and mounting operation in the structure. Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle to remove the electrical hazard

CAUTION

You may be required to drill holes in a structural support. Be sure the location will be strong enough to support the

rated pulling force of the 2000lb winch. Do not drill into wiring or gas tank! If the mounting bolts needed are a

different length than those supplied, use a bolt of equal or better quality. Torque the kit’s 5/16” Grade 5 mounting

bolts to 12 ft lbs (1.7kg-m)

1 Prepare a flat and secure location for the winch

2 Position the winch over the mount and check for the operation of the clutch lever to frame clearance. Check for tire

to winch clearance. If ok, continue on to the next step

3 Secure the winch to the mounting bracket or surface chosen with the correct hardware

NOTE: make sure the winch mounting bolts and winch hardware have been checked for proper torque

4 Connect the wiring as shown in Figure 9 and double check each wire connection for correct position. Tie down the

wire as needed for a clean look and dependable service

CAUTION

When attaching wires to the motor terminals, hold the inner nut with a second wrench to avoid the terminal from

rotating in the housing. This will help avoid internal wire breakage. Connect the black wire to the battery last

NOTE: if the battery is of a type that will not accept the supplied terminals, you may have to find the correct

adapters at a local automotive store

CAUTION

Always use the safety hook strap when the hook is near the fairlead or winch drum

5 Before testing the Endurance winch, pull and turn the clutch handle to the free position. Always wear heavy gloves

when handling heavy wire rope. Pull about 2 feet of wire rope off the winch and place the clutch handle in the

engaged position. See figure 6

WINCH OPERATION

1. CLUTCH OPERATION: The clutch is operated by pulling out the Clutch Knob (part#6) and rotating it about 45-90

degrees, see Figure 6. This will allow you to freespool the winch. Turn Clutch Knob (part#6) until it pops back into

place this makes it go fully in gear

CAUTION Never release the wire rope while under tension. Doing this can badly damage the winch and/or cause

property damage and serious injury

2. Wire Rope Handling: Grab the Hook with Pulling Belt (part#21) and pull the wire rope to the desired length, then attach the hook to item being pulled. Make sure the hook’s spring-loaded latch is set

CAUTION Always leave at least five turns of wire rope on the drum. Review Winch Safety Warnings & Precautions before continuing

3. While standing aside of the tow path, press (and hold) the push button on the remote control to pull the load. If the load will not move, release pull switch and check for obstacles blocking the load, or check to see if load is too heavy for winch capacity

CAUTION This winch is designed for intermittent use only, and should not be used in a constant duty application. The duration of the pulling job should be kept as short as possible. If the winch motor becomes very hot to touch, stop the winch and let it cool down for several minutes. Never pull for more than one minute at or near the rated load. Do not maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls as it can damage the motor or gear

NOTE: A fully charged battery will give best service. The engine should be kept running during operation

MAINTENANCE

1. All moving parts within the winch have been lubricated using high temperature lithium grease at the factory. No

internal lubrication is required

2. Lubricate wire rope periodically using a light penetrating oil

Wire Rope Assembly replacement (to be performed only by a qualified service tech)

1. Move Clutch Knob (part#6) to the OUT position

2. Extend Wire Rope Assembly (part#20) to its full length, Note how the existing Wire Rope is connected to the inside

of the drum

3. Remove old Wire Rope Assembly and attach new one

4. Retract Wire Rope onto Drum (part#14) being careful not to allow kinking

GENERAL

1. Keep vehicle battery in good condition

2. Be sure that the winch battery cable is not drawn tight against any surfaces which could possibly damage it

3. Periodically remove and clean cable connections to the battery fuse box and chassis ground. Corrosion will reduce

performance or may cause short

4. Cover the cables and winch when not in use
