FAQs
Can I use this on a 12V vehicle?
No, this is specifically a 24V winch. Using it on a 12V system will result in extremely poor performance or failure to operate.
Does this come with a rope?
No, this is a bare winch unit and does not include rope or a fairlead.
What is the maximum vehicle weight this can pull?
It is rated for pulling vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, though this depends on the incline and terrain resistance.
Are the remotes waterproof?
The remotes are designed for outdoor use, but they should be kept dry when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
Can I install this myself?
If you are experienced with automotive electrical systems, you may perform the installation, but professional assistance is recommended to ensure correct wiring and safety.
What kind of rope should I buy for this?
You should use a synthetic or steel wire rope rated for at least 13,500lbs that is compatible with your chosen fairlead.
Troubleshooting
Winch motor runs but does not pull
Check that the clutch lever is fully engaged in the locked position and the gear train is properly seated.
Remote control is unresponsive
Check the batteries in the remote handset and ensure the solenoid box is receiving power and is paired correctly to the receiver.
Winch operates slowly under load
Verify that your 24V battery is fully charged and all high-current electrical connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.

- Twin wireless remotes enhance safety and ease of use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician, especially when dealing with the high-current demands of a 24V system. Ensure that your vehicle's electrical system has a battery capable of handling the winch's maximum draw during full-load operations.
Since this is a bare unit, verify that your existing fairlead (hawse or roller) and rope are rated for the 13,500lb capacity before assembly. Regular maintenance includes checking the solenoid box for moisture ingress, ensuring all heavy-gauge power cables are securely tightened to prevent arching, and periodically applying grease to the gear train assembly to maintain smooth operation.
