WarnInG
WarnInG Do not exceed the rated capacity.
WarnInG Read this manual thoroughly before
operating the winch. Failure to follow instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
danGer Do not use this winch for lifting or
moving people or animals.
danGer Keep yourself and others a safe
distance to the side of the cable when under tension.
danGer Never step over a cable or near a
cable under load.
WarnInG The cable may break before the
motor stalls. For heavy loads at or near rated
capacity, use a pulley block/snatch block to reduce
the load on the cable.
WarnInG Do not move the vehicle to pull a
load (towing) on the winch cable. This could result
in cable breakage.
WarnInG Pull only on area of the vehicle as
specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
WarnInG Do not use the winch to secure or
hold a vehicle for a long period of time. Do not use
the winch to secure a vehicle for transport.
WarnInG Disconnect the remote control and
battery leads when not in use for extended periods.
WarnInG Avoid “shock loads” by using the
control switch intermittently to take up slack in
the cable. “Shock loads” can far exceed the rated
capacity for the winch cable and drum.
Do not accelerate your vehicle while winching. Loss
of traction can cause a shock load on the cable. Do
not use cable as a pull strap.
WarnInG Batteries contain acid and produce
explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes
away from batteries at all times. Wear safety
glasses and protect the eyes at all times. Do not
lean over the batteries during operation.
WarnInG Do not use as a hoist. Do not use
for overhead lifting.

MODEL #A3000 – 3,000LB (1361KG) WINCH IMPORTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS
WarnInG When re-spooling the cable, ensure
that the cable spools in the under-wind position with
the cable entering the drum from the bottom, not
the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves,
keep a slight load on the cable while pushing the
remote button to draw in the cable. Walk toward
the winch not allowing the cable to slide through
your hands. Do not let your hands get within 12 in.
of the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the winch
and repeat the procedure until a few feet of cable
are left. Disconnect the remote control and finish
spooling by rotating the drum by hand with the
clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of the fairlead
and drum while the winch is under power.
CauTIon Use gloves to protect hands when
handling the cable. Never let the
cable slide through your hands.
CauTIon Do not wrap the cable around any
object and hook it back onto itself.
CauTIon Apply blocks to the wheels of the
vehicle when on an incline.
CauTIon Duration of winching pulls should
be kept as short as possible.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to the
touch, stop winching immediately and let it cool
down for a few minutes. Do not pull for more than
one minute at or near the rated load.
CauTIon If the motor stalls, do not maintain
power to the winch.
Electric winches are designed and made for
intermittent use and should not be used in constant
duty applications.
CauTIon Never release the free spool clutch
when there is a load on the winch.
CauTIon Use the Hand-Saver strap when
handling the winch hook for
spooling or unspooling the cable.

MODEL #A3000 – 3,000LB (1361KG) WINCH CONTROLS AND fEATURES
ConTrols and feaTures
Read this operator’s manual before operating your winch. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the
control features. Save this manual for future reference.
1. Motor – 1.30 HP 12V DC motor provides power to
the planetary gear mechanism.
2. Winch Drum – The winch drum is the cylinder on
which the cable is stored. It can feed or wind the
cable depending on the switch assembly.
3. Steel Cable – 3/16 in. x 45.9 ft. Galvanized aircraft
cable designed specifically for load capacity of 3,000
lbs. (44 usable feet with five wraps on the drum).
The cable feeds onto the drum in the “under wind”
position through the roller fairlead (4) and is looped
at the end to accept the clevis hook pin (12).
4. Roller Fairlead – When using the winch at an angle
the roller fairlead acts to guide the steel cable onto
the drum and minimize damage to the cable from
abrasion on the winch mount or bumper.
5. Free Spooling Clutch – The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“Release”) the
spooling drum from the gear train. Engaging the
clutch (“Engage”) locks the winch into the gear
system.
6. Braking System – Braking action is automatically
applied to the winch drum when the winch motor is
stopped or there is a load on the cable.
7. Planetary Gear System – The reduction gears
convert the winch motor power into extreme pulling
forces. This system allows high torque while
maintaining compact size and light weight.
8. Mini Rocker Switch – Handle bar mounted switch
for powering cable in/out of the winch drum.
9. Hand Held Remote – Hand held switch with a
remote socket for powering the cable in or out of
your winch drum.

2. Attach the winch using supplied M8 x 25mm or
30mm bolts and washers thru the fairlead bracket
or model specific winch mount and into the winch.
3. Disengage the clutch by rotating the clutch cap to
the RELEASE position. Release the synthetic cable
and pull through the roller fairlead.
4. Attach the clevis hook to the cable and the hand
saver strap to the clevis hook.
10. Fairlead Mount – Adapter to mount the winch and
fairlead for utility applications.
11. Contactor – Power from the vehicle battery flows
through the weather sealed solenoid switch before
being directed to the winch motor.
12. Clevis Hook – Provides a means for connecting the
looped ends of cables to an anchor.
13. Hand Saver Strap – Used to assist cable feed.
InsTallaTIon
This KFI 3,000 lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern
that is standard for this class of winch. Many winch
mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for
the most popular ATVs and UTVs. You can find most of
the ATV/UTV winch mounts on our website
(www.kfiproducts.com).
Mount the Winch
1. Install the winch and fairlead with the supplied
hardware per the instructions provided with the
model specific winch mounting kit or prepare a flat,
secure mounting location for the winch.
WarnInG Before starting to install this winch,
disconnect the vehicle ground and positive leads
from the battery.
CauTIon If you choose not to use a model
specific mounting kit, you will need to drill holes in
the structural support of the vehicle. Be certain that
your structural support is sufficient for the pulling
forces of this winch.
CauTIon Mounting bolts must be SAE Grade
5 or better and torqued to 17 ft. lbs.
noTICe This kit includes mounting bolts
with different lengths for fastening the winch (M8 x
20, 25, and 30mm long). Use the length that best
fits your mounting application. Refer to vehicle
specific mount instructions for more information.

Mount the Contactor
5. Find a location for the contactor. If the model
specific mounting kit does not indicate a
recommended contactor location, then it is
recommended that the contactor be mounted close
to the battery in a clean dry location. Be certain the
location you choose allows for sufficient clearance
form all metal components. Drill mounting holes
if required. Once a location is found, do not install
until all wiring is completed.
Install Handlebar Mounted
Mini Rocker Switch
6. The Handlebar Mounted Mini Rocker Switch is
normally installed on the left handlebar.
7. Use electrical tape wrapped around the handlebar
to prevent rotation of the switch mounting brackets.
Do NOT tighten over any hoses or cables.
8. Once your switch is mounted you can route wires
back to the contactor location.
9. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
controlled (keyed) power source using the supplied
wire splice. You may need to use a test light or
multimeter to locate a suitable wire. The wire
should only have power when the key is in the ON
position.
Mount the Hand Remote Socket
(optional)
10. Determine a mounting location for the Hand Remote
socket. Be certain the area behind the selection
location is clear.
11. Drill three holes as shown in the following figure
and install using supplied hardware. You can also
use the rubber cap attached to the remote socket
as a template.
12. Once your remote socket is mounted, you may
route wires back to the contactor location.
13. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
controlled (keyed) power source using the supplied
wire splice. You may need to use a test light or
multimeter to locate a suitable wire. The wire
should only have power when the key is in the ON
