6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe operation of your electric winch.

1. Pre-Operation Check:
   • Verify the winch is securely mounted.
   • Ensure the load does not exceed 125kg.
   • Check the wire rope for any damage or tangles.
   • Confirm the power and control cables are properly connected and undamaged.
2. Attaching the Load: Securely attach the load to the hook. Ensure the load is balanced and stable.
3. Lifting/Lowering: Use the 2-point push button control to operate the winch.
   • Press the "UP" button to lift the load.
   • Press the "DOWN" button to lower the load.
   • Release the button to stop the operation.
4. Monitoring: Continuously monitor the load and the wire rope during operation. Stop immediately if any unusual sounds or movements occur.
5. Limit Switches: The winch is equipped with limit switches that automatically stop the lifting or lowering operation when the hook reaches its upper or lower limit, preventing over-travel.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your winch.

• Cleaning: Keep the winch clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer (refer to specific product documentation if available).
• Wire Rope Inspection: Regularly inspect the wire rope for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace the wire rope if any damage is found.
• Electrical Connections: Check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
• Storage: Store the winch in a dry, clean place when not in use.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their potential solutions.

1. Winch does not operate:
   • Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power supply is active.
   • Inspect the power cord and control cable for damage.
   • Verify the emergency stop button (if present) is disengaged.
   • Check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it according to the instructions below.
2. Wire rope is tangled or stuck:
   • Do not repeatedly press the "UP" or "DOWN" buttons, as this can blow the fuse.
   • Carefully inspect the wire rope for any obstructions or improper winding.
   • If the wire rope is severely tangled, it may require disassembly of the winch to untangle or replace the rope.
3. Winch lifts but does not lower, or vice versa:
   • This could indicate an issue with the control buttons or internal wiring. Refer to the troubleshooting video for potential solutions.
