Using the Winch

[Michael H.]

As I’m new to winching, I recently attended a winch training course (See video).

I'd be interested to get some more tips from experienced winch users, particular on matters specific to the winch fitted to the Grenadier.

Here is a question on the Grenadier stock winch. Is there a way to operate it if the batteries in the remote are flat or the remote is faulty?

Winch Remote uses 2 AAA batteries. Manaul states 3 volts needed, so they must be Alkaline or 1,5 volt each Lithium AAAs (not NiHM which are 2.4 volts together). Carry some spares.

Nothing in the INEOS Winch Manual about using the winch if the remote is faulty.

No, you are stuck. I bought a pack of the Energiser Lithium that have a 20 year battery life and stuck them in the car as backup.

Ich habe auch eine Winde bestellt und auch unerfahren damit. Aber mich wundert es ,dass es eine Anleitung dazu gibt. Ich habe kein gefunden in meinen Unterlagen. Gab es die dazu? Und hat die jemand in Deutsch ... Auch als PDF?

I also ordered a winch and am also inexperienced with it. But I'm surprised that there are instructions for it. I didn't find any in my documents. Was there one for that? And does anyone have it in German... Also as a PDF?
