How to Use
Forward and Reverse Controls
- Up arrow: Rope out (OUT)
- Down arrow: Rope in (IN)
Powering On a Remote
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button for more than one second.
- The indicator light flashes three times.
- The light then flashes slowly, showing the remote is in standby and ready to use.
Automatic Shutdown
After three minutes of inactivity, the remote powers down and the indicator light turns off.
Replacing a Remote
The factory remote and receiver come already paired. If you replace a remote, power on the receiver, then within three minutes press and hold the IN and OUT buttons together for 15 seconds to activate pairing. Use this procedure only when necessary.
Wiring Overview
- Red: Positive
- Black: Ground
- Yellow/Blue: Direction control lines
The receiver operates the winch relay coil. It does not supply power directly to the winch motor, so the winch requires its own appropriate power connection.
Installation Tips
- Position the receiver antenna away from sources of signal interference.
- If you hear intermittent clicking, check that the vehicle battery has enough charge to run the winch.
- A single click followed by silence may indicate a relay contact problem. Inspect the relay and replace it if needed.
- Confirm your winch voltage, solenoid configuration, and wiring compatibility before installation.
- Follow the included instructions for proper connection and operation.
