Introduction
Thank you for choosing the CXRCY 12V Electric Winch. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your 20000LBS electric winch. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper handling and to prevent injury or damage.
Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when operating the winch. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage.
- Read the Entire Manual: Understand all warnings, cautions, and operating procedures before using the winch.
- Wear Protective Gear: Always wear heavy-duty gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing.
- Keep Clear: Maintain a safe distance from the winch, cable, and hook during operation. Never step over a taut cable.
- Inspect Before Use: Check the winch, cable, hook, and all connections for damage or wear before each use. Do not use if damaged.
- Secure Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is properly secured and the parking brake is engaged before winching.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the winch.
- Use a Tree Saver Strap: When anchoring to a tree, always use a tree saver strap to protect the tree and the winch cable.
- Layer Cable Evenly: Ensure the synthetic rope spools evenly onto the drum. Uneven spooling can damage the cable and winch.
- Disconnect Power: Always disconnect the winch from the power source when not in use or during maintenance.

Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your winch. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified professional.
1. Mounting the Winch
- Choose a mounting location on your vehicle that is strong enough to support the winch's maximum pulling force. A dedicated winch bumper or mounting plate is recommended.
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and provides adequate clearance for the winch and fairlead.
- Align the winch with the mounting holes and secure it using the provided hardware. Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.

2. Electrical Connections
- Disconnect Battery: Before making any electrical connections, disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Mount Control Box: Securely mount the control box in a location that is protected from damage and allows for easy access to the remote control ports.
- Connect Power Cables: Connect the winch power cables to the control box and then to the vehicle's battery. Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-). Use appropriate gauge wiring and ensure all connections are tight and corrosion-free.
- Reconnect Battery: Once all electrical connections are made and secured, reconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery.
3. Fairlead Installation
- Install the fairlead to the winch mounting plate or bumper. The fairlead guides the synthetic rope and protects it from abrasion.
- Ensure the fairlead is properly aligned with the winch drum to allow for smooth rope spooling.
Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the winch controls and proper winching techniques before attempting a recovery.
1. General Winching Procedure
- Assess the Situation: Determine the safest anchor point and the required pulling direction.
- Prepare the Winch: Disengage the clutch to allow for free spooling of the synthetic rope.
- Attach to Anchor: Pull out enough rope to reach your anchor point. Use a tree saver strap or a suitable anchor point. Attach the hook securely.
- Engage Clutch: Re-engage the clutch to lock the drum.
- Tension the Rope: Use the remote control to slowly take up any slack in the rope until it is taut.
- Begin Winching: Operate the winch in short, controlled pulls. Monitor the rope and the vehicle being recovered. Avoid continuous long pulls to prevent overheating.
- Respool Rope: Once the recovery is complete, carefully respool the rope onto the drum under light tension, ensuring it layers evenly.
2. Using the Remote Controls
Your winch comes with both a wired and wireless remote control for operational flexibility.
- Wired Remote: Connect the wired remote to the designated port on the control box. Use the 'IN' button to retract the rope and the 'OUT' button to extend it.
- Wireless Remote: The wireless remotes allow operation from a distance of up to 30 meters. Ensure the remote has working batteries. Press 'IN' to retract and 'OUT' to extend the rope.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your CXRCY winch.
- Inspect Rope: Regularly inspect the synthetic rope for frays, cuts, or other damage. Replace the rope if any significant damage is found.
- Check Electrical Connections: Ensure all electrical connections are clean, tight, and free from corrosion. Apply dielectric grease to terminals if necessary.
- Inspect Hardware: Periodically check all mounting bolts and hardware for tightness.
- Clean Winch: Keep the winch clean from mud, dirt, and debris. Use a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Consult a professional for internal lubrication if needed. The gearbox is typically sealed and does not require user maintenance.
