OPERATING THE WINCH |
STEP 1: To pull out the cable, turn the shifting gear handle (part#6) clockwise to free spool arrow loosen it. Pull out the desired cable length and secure to object. (Always leave at least 4 turns of cable on the spool to prevent pulling the cable out of the winch.) |
STEP 2: Turn the shifting gear handle (part#6) counterclockwise so that it lines up with the engage arrow. If you hear the click, the working gear is engaged. If you didn’t hear the click, turn the handle clockwise slowly or turn the drum slowly (part#4) until you hear it, then adjust then handle to line up with the engage arrow. If engaged properly, the drum can’t rotate while pulling the cable. |
STEP 3: Put your vehicle in neutral (never leave your vehicle in gear or in park when operating winch) and release your emergency brake so that you are only applying the manual brakes. |
STEP 4: Connect the power cable, and winch the item as desired. |
OPERATING THE SNOW PLOUGH |
STEP 1: Snow Scraping Plate (#2): to install the snow scrapping plate (#2) properly place it on the bottom of the snow plow (#3). Tighten it with 7 bolts (#21) and 7 nuts (#22) |
STEP 2: To install the guiding plates (#1) find the holes on the back
lower corners the of snow plow. Place the guiding plates in the holes with a nut M12 (GB/T 6170-2000) on each side of the hole. After both are installed, adjust height so they are the same. |
STEP 3: Assemble the mounting arms (#4):
A: Use the mounting hardware (#17, 18, 19, & 20) to attach the mounting arms (#4) to the snow plow (#3). Set the mounting arms (#4) on the ground behind the snow plow (#3) and line up the two bottom holes of each. (Picture to the left shows an example). Make sure the bolts are tight and the mounting arms can rotate freely side to side.
B:Locate the plow angle adjusting hardware (#14, 15, & 16), and pick the hole to use on the mounting arms according the desired angle of the blade. Firmly tighten the bolts in place. (These can be adjusted as needed to accommodate the desired angle of the snow blade)
C:Connect one side of each return spring (#10) to the mounting arms (#4) and the other side to the two spring hooks (#11). Install the spring hooks (#11) in the upper holes on the snow plow (#3). Use the hardware that came with the return springs to attach and adjust the springs to the desired length. (Make sure to use one nut on each side of the hole on the snow plow for extra support.) |
STEP 4: Installing the Directional Lever & Pulley:
A: Place the Directional Lever (#5) on the inside of the fixture on the mounting arms (#4) and place the Pulley (#12) on the outer side of the lever and fixture. Use the Directional Lever hardware (#6, 7, & 8) to hold the lever (#5) and pulley (#12) in place. (Washers should be on the inner side of the pulley). Tighten hardware after pulley is in desired angle.
B: Place the Return Spring (#10) in between the Directional Lever (#5) and mounting arms (#4). (Place the spring over the bolt on mounting arms to help hold it in place.) |
After completing the assembly steps above, you should be able to rotate the snow plow to your desired angle; with the lever holding it in that position. |
STEP 5: (The next steps are easier to do if the vehicle is safely on a lift or a vehicle floor jack). To assemble snow plow mounting plate to the vehicle, first remove the plastic guard underneath the front of your vehicle. Locate the 4 U-type Bolts (#24), the Mounting Plate (#25), and the necessary M8 nuts (#23). Place the U-Type Bolts around the vehicle frame underneath the front of your vehicle and attach the Mounting plate (#25) to them using the provided M8 nuts (#23). |
STEP 6: To install the mounting arms (#4) to the mounting plate (#25) lift the mounting arms(#4) so that the holes on it line up with those on the mounting plate (#25). Place the provided Pin Shafts (#26) through the holes on both the plate (#25) and arms (#4) securing them together safely. Use the self-attached hooks on the pin shafts (#26) to lock the pins in place. |
Connecting the Winch to the Snow Plow |
STEP 1: Turn the shifting gear handle (part#6 of winch diagram) clockwise to the disengage arrow. Pull out the desired cable length. (Always leave at least 4 turns of cable on the spool) |
STEP 2: Remove the pin and roller on the pulley (#12) and place the winch cable inside of the pulley. |
STEP 3: Put the roller and pin back into the pulley (#12) and make sure it is secured. |
STEP 4: Hook the end of the winch to the back bar of the winch system or to any other secure spot on the vehicle. |
STEP 5: Turn the shifting gear handle (part#6) counterclockwise so that it lines up with the engage arrow. If you hear a click, the working gear is engaged. (If not please refer to the above “Operating the Winch” section). |
STEP 6: Test the system by alternating between pressing the “IN’ and “OUT” buttons on the winch control at least 3-5 times. (The snow plow will be moving up and down) While doing this make sure that the electrical systems and mechanical systems are all working properly on both the winch and plow. |
