Maintenance
It is highly recommended that the winch be used regularly (once a month). Simply power the rope
out 24 ft., free spool 9 ft. and then power back in. This will keep all components in good working
condition so that the winch can be relied on when needed. Contact your dealer for technical
assistance and repairs.
Symptom
Motor does not turn on
Motor runs too hot.
Motor runs slowly or
without normal power.
Motor runs but rope
drum does not turn.
Motor runs in one
direction only.
Lubrication
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the
time of assembly. Lubricate wire rope periodically using light penetrating oil. Inspect for broken strands
and replace if necessary. If the rope becomes worn or damaged it must be replaced.
Rope Installation
Unwind the new rope by rolling it along the ground, to prevent kinking. Remove the old rope and
observe the manner in which it is attached to the rope drum fl ange. Install the new rope in the same
way as the old rope is attached to the rope drum flange.
Replace rope with the same type, exact diameter, length and strength as that of the
existing rope. Use of different type rope will void warranty!
