Cut pins to length to fit between side frame and rub rail. Position with flat end of oval at top, at least 5” from stake pocket. Weld all around pin end on side frame, weld top and bottom of pin end on rub rail. Use 1/4” fillet welds with 1/8” minimum penetration for steel, 3/8” fillet welds for aluminum.

To tension: Apply initial tension by pulling the handhold strap while the buckle handle is in the open position. As the handle is closed, additional strap tensioning occurs.

To release: Models 909, 970, 974, 975 and FE8265-1 release by disengaging the spring-loaded locking latch. All other models release by simply pulling up on the handhold strap.

To tension: Pull webbing through reel bars to eliminate slack. Operate handle back and forth until webbing is properly tensioned. Reel bars must have at least two wraps of webbing to ensure no slippage. Wrench drive models require the use of a socket or wrench.

To release: Pull handle pawl back and rotate handle over center to full open position.

All winches shall be installed so the user can see the pawl, to ensure proper engagement. Additionally, the winch shall be positioned so the pawl drops between the ratchet teeth by gravity. Winches shall never be installed in a position where the user cannot see the pawl engagement, or where they must hold the pawl to engage the ratchet tooth. All winches, except portable and sliding styles, must be welded or bolted to the vehicle structure. Minimum welding requirements are 1/4" fillet weld, 4" long on both sides of the frame and 1/8" penetration. If winches are installed in track, the track shall be attached to vehicle structural members. The vehicle structure should have equal or greater strength than the winch.
