Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the watch winder from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided AC adapter to the power input port on the back of the winder. Plug the adapter into a suitable electrical outlet. Alternatively, the winder can be powered by batteries (not included).
- Watch Placement:
- Open the glass cover of the winder.
- Gently remove the patented dynamic cuff from the rotator drum.
- Adjust the cuff to fit your watch's wrist size. The cuff is designed to securely hold watches of various sizes.
- Place your automatic watch onto the cuff, ensuring it is snug and stable. The low-density foam helps protect your watch bracelet.
- Insert the cuff with the watch back into the rotator drum, ensuring it 'locks' into place for a secure fit.
- Close the glass cover.

Operating Instructions
The Wolf Cub Watch Winder is designed for ease of use with pre-programmed settings to maintain your automatic watch.
- Power On: Once connected to power, the winder will automatically begin its pre-programmed rotation cycle.
- Rotation Settings: The winder operates at 900 turns per day (TPD) in a bi-directional rotation. This setting includes intermittent rotation with programmed pause and sleep phases to prevent overwinding and ensure optimal watch health. The bi-directional setting effectively doubles the TPD for watches that require it.
- Monitoring: The winder is designed to accurately count turns per day, a unique feature that distinguishes it from other winders that estimate rotations based on time.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the winder, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the vegan leather finish or glass.
- Glass Cover: For the glass cover, use a glass cleaner applied to a soft cloth, then wipe the glass. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the winder.
- Battery Replacement: If using battery power, replace batteries when the winder's indicator light (if present) suggests low power, or when rotation becomes inconsistent. Ensure correct battery orientation.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the AC adapter and remove batteries. Store the winder in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Winder not rotating | No power, loose connection, or depleted batteries. | Check AC adapter connection and power outlet. If using batteries, replace them. |
| Watch not winding | Watch not securely placed on cuff, or watch requires specific winding direction/TPD (though this winder is bi-directional and 900 TPD). | Ensure the watch is firmly seated in the dynamic cuff and the cuff is locked into the drum. Consult your watch's manufacturer specifications for optimal TPD if issues persist. |
| Unusual noise during operation | Obstruction or internal issue. | Ensure no objects are obstructing the rotator. If noise persists, contact customer support. |
