USER MANUAL

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing Toolland! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, do not install or use it and contact your dealer.

2. Safety Instructions

Warning!

Read all instructions carefully. Failure to follow the instructions may result in serious damage and severe injury.

Do not remove or obscure the warning tags on the winch. An operator may need to see them to understand the proper operation of the winch.

Keep this manual for future reference.

Safety Instructions for Installation

Prevent entanglement during installation and operation. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, and restrain long hair. They can be caught in moving parts and cause severe injury. It is recommended to wear non-skid footwear.

Wear safety goggles and heavy-duty leather gloves during installation.

Before installing, make sure that the mounting location is clear of fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wiring, gas tanks, and any other component that can be damaged by drilling mounting holes.

The mounting structure and hardware must be able to support the winch and the load. Do not attach the winch to objects of unknown carrying capacity. The winch may break loose during operation and cause severe damage and injury.

Obtain the line manufacturer's recommendations for suitable line sizes and types. Do not use a thinner or longer line than recommended. Do not link multiple lines together.

Use underwinding (bottom winding) when installing the line: the line must enter and exit the winch at the bottom of the drum.

Safety Instructions for Operation

Do not load the winch beyond its rated capacity. The capacity is based on one layer of line around the drum. As the line builds on the drum, the capacity decreases.Be aware of dynamic loads! Sudden movements may create brief excessive loads that can cause product failure.If any part of the winch starts to bend, deform, or show any signs of damage, stop using the winch immediately.
Use the winch only for hauling or pulling loads. Do not use the winch for lifting loads vertically. Do not use the winch for moving people.
	Prevent entanglement during installation and operation. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, and restrain long hair. They can be caught in moving parts and cause severe injury.It is recommended to wear non-skid footwear.
		Wear safety goggles and heavy-duty leather gloves during operation.
Never try to guide the line while winching. Broken cable strands are sharp. Never slide cable through your hands, even if you are wearing gloves.
Keep away from the winching area during operation. If the line slips or breaks, it may whip back, which can cause damage and severe injury. Place a heavy blanket or rug (not incl.) over the line. The weight of the cloth acts as a damper and prevents the broken line from whipping.Do not step over the line with a load attached. Do not push against a load-bearing line; this may overload the line and cause it to break.Do not allow people to stand on or behind the load.
Examine the device for safe operation before each use. Make sure that all nuts and bolts are tight.Salts, chemicals, and rust can affect components. Do not use if you notice damaged or loose parts, structural cracks, bends, or any other condition that may affect the safe operation of the winch. Do not use the winch even if only minor damage appears.If the spring is broken or the locking system fails, stop using the winch immediately and contact your dealer for repair.

WHW250

Do not operate the winch if the line is knotted, twisted, kinked, frayed, corroded, or shows any sign of weakening. As soon as a loop starts to form in the line, stop the winch and straighten the loop. If you notice any damage to the line, replace it immediately.

Note that a kink permanently weakens a steel cable, even after you straighten it. Kinked cable can suddenly fail even before it reaches its load capacity. Never use cable that has been kinked.

Secure the load after moving. Winches are not designed to secure loads. Use tie-down ropes or straps to secure the load.

Warning! Never fully extend the line while under load.

Always keep at least 4 full turns of line on the drum to supply friction for proper anchoring. If not, the line may pull loose from the drum. Keep the line properly aligned on the drum.

Do not winch at an angle. This may damage the winch drum and the line. The recommended maximum winching angle is 4^ , both horizontally and vertically.

Do not operate the winch with other than manual power.

Never release the handle while winching a load. The handle may spin violently and cause serious injury. Never try to stop a spinning handle.

Boat trailers not equipped with keel and side hull rollers are designed to be submerged in the water when the boat is loaded; this means that the boat is "floated" onto the trailer. If the trailer is not submerged, attempts to drag the boat onto the trailer can cause winch failure and possible injury.

Keep hands and fingers clear of the winch and line during operation.

Always check the correct rotation direction before using the winch.

If used on a vehicle, do not move the vehicle to assist the winch. The combination of the winch and vehicle pulling together can overload the line.

Never hook the line back onto itself. This creates an unacceptable strain on the line. Do not loop the line around the load.

The ambient operating temperature is between -10 ^ and +50 ^ . Do not operate outside of these specifications.

Safety Instructions for Servicing

Wear safety goggles and heavy-duty leather gloves during maintenance.

When replacing a line, do not use a thinner or longer line than recommended by the manufacturer. Do not link multiple lines together.

Have the device repaired by a qualified service person using only identical replacement parts. This ensures that the safety of the device is maintained.

6. Installation

Read the entire safety instructions at the beginning of this manual before installing the device.

1. Choose a suitable mounting location. Take care of the following points:

2. The mounting structure and hardware must be able to support the winch and the load without damage or weakening. If necessary, use steel reinforcement plates or additional bracing.
   ○ Make sure that the handle [5] can rotate freely by 360°.

3. Place the winch on the mounting surface [6] and mark the location of the mounting holes.

4. Before drilling, verify that there are no hidden parts or structural pieces in the mounting area that can be damaged.
5. Drill the holes at the marked locations.
6. Use three 3/8" (M10) bolts, washers, and lock nuts (not incl.) to fix the winch frame [1] on the mounting surface [6].

7. Installing the Winch Line

Make sure that the line is strong enough to move the load. Obtain the line manufacturer's recommendations for suitable line sizes and types. Use an appropriate end connection to attach the hook to the line. (Cable, rope, hook, and hardware for attaching are not included.) Always follow the line manufacturer's safety and operation instructions.

You can use the winch either with a rope or with a steel cable (wire rope). The attachment method differs depending on the type of line.

7.1 Rope

Attaching a rope to the winch drum requires no bolts, nuts, or rope clamp.

1. Push the pawl [2] down so that it is disengaged from the gear and the drum can rotate freely.
2. Guide the rope end under the hub of the drum [4].
3. Thread the rope through the round holes in the drum's side. There are two methods, depending on the weight of the line. See the illustration below for instructions.

1. Push the pawl [2] up so that it engages with the gear.
2. Turn the handle clockwise to reel in the rope. Pack the coils tightly side by side, so that the next layers cannot slip between the coils.
3. When you have reeled in the rope, attach the hook to the shaft [3] to prevent that the rope unwinds.

7.2 Cable

Attaching a Cable

Attaching cable requires a cable clamp (not incl.). To attach a cable to the winch drum, proceed as follows:

1. Push the pawl [2] down so that it is disengaged from the gear and the drum can rotate freely.
2. Attach the clamp with the bolt through the square hole in the drum's side. The bolt goes on the inside, the locking nut and washer on the outside. Do not tighten the nut yet.
