An electric Winch typically uses the battery of a vehicle in order to power the winch`s motor. It will only work if the vehicle battery is charged, and it is possible for a 4x4 winch to drain a battery quickly. Electric winches are the right choice for quick occasional, and light use, as in ATV recovery, as they do not require as much in the way of power.

Usages:
Plug the winch remote control into the winch. Your winch should have come with a remote control attached to a long cord. Look for the plug at the end of the cord and attach it to the corresponding receptacle on the outside of the winch. Run the remote control cord from the winch to the driver`s seat and place the remote control in your vehicle
Put on a pair of thick gloves. Never handle a winch cable without gloves on. The cable could cut your hands.
Find something in front of your car to anchor your winch to. A large tree trunk, boulder, or other vehicle is ideal. Don`t anchor your winch to something small and weak or you risk breaking it. Try to find an anchor that`s straight in front of your vehicle.
Use the disengage lever to release the winch cable. The disengage lever should be located on the outside of the winch. The lever should have an option that says [free spool" or [disengaged." Turn the lever to that option. This will release the cable so you`re able to manually pull it out from the winch.
Pull the winch cable all the way to the anchor. Don't pull too much of the cable out or you'll create unnecessary slack. Set the end of the cable down next to the anchor.
If the winch cable doesn't reach the anchor, look for another anchor that's closer to your vehicle.
Wrap a tree trunk protector around the bottom of the anchor. A tree trunk protector is a thick nylon strap with two loops, one on each end. Wrap the protector around the anchor so the two end loops are facing you. Hold the two end loops in your hand.
If your winch didn`t come with a tree trunk protector, you can order one online or find one at your local hardware store.
Hook a D-shackle through the 2 loops on the protector. A D-shackle is a curved shackle with a large pin that screws in and out of the shackle. Remove the pin from the D-shackle and put the curved part of the D-shackle through both of the loops on the tree trunk protector. Once the loops are on the shackle, reinsert the pin and twist it to tighten it into place.
Hook the winch hook to the D-shackle with the tip facing up. The winch hook is the hook at the end of the winch cable
Turn the disengage lever back to [engaged." You want the lever to be back in the position it started in before you released the winch cable. This will prevent more cable from coming out of the winch.
Use the winch remote to slowly pull the winch cable taut. Press the button on the remote control to start pulling the winch cable back into the winch. This will cause the winch cable to tighten. Stop pressing the button when the cable is taut
