7. Installing the Winch Line
Make sure that the line is strong enough to move the load. Obtain the line manufacturer's
recommendations for suitable line sizes and types. Use an appropriate end connection to attach
the hook to the line. (Cable, rope, hook, and hardware for attaching are not included.) Always
follow the line manufacturer's safety and operation instructions.
You can use the winch either with a rope or with a steel cable (wire rope). The attachment method differs
depending on the type of line.
7.1 Rope
Attaching a rope to the winch drum requires no bolts, nuts, or rope clamp.
1. Place the pawl [2] in the free-spooling position [b] so that it is disengaged from the gear and the drum can
rotate freely.
2. Guide the rope end under the hub of the drum [4].
3. Thread the rope through the round holes in the drum's side. There are two methods, depending on the
weight of the line. See the illustration below for instructions.
heavy line
4. Place the pawl [2] in the reel-in position [a].
5. Turn the handle clockwise to reel in the rope. Pack the coils tightly side by side, so that the next layers
cannot slip between the coils.
6. When you have reeled in the rope, attach the hook to the shaft [3] to prevent that the rope unwinds.
7.2 Cable
Attaching a Cable
Attaching cable requires a cable clamp
(not incl.). To attach a cable to the winch
drum, proceed as follows:
1. Place the pawl [2] in the free-spooling
position [b] so that it is disengaged from
the gear and the drum can rotate freely.
2. Attach the clamp with the bolt through the
square hole in the drum's side. The bolt
goes on the inside, the locking nut and
washer on the outside. Do not tighten the
nut yet.
3. Guide the cable end under the hub of the drum [4].
4. Thread the cable through a round hole in the drum's side.
5. Thread the cable further through the clamp and make sure that the end protrudes about 1" (2.5 cm).
6. Tighten the nut firmly.
7. Place the pawl [2] in the reel-in position [a].
8. Turn the handle clockwise to reel in the cable. Pack the coils tightly side by side, so that the next layers
cannot slip between the coils.
Warning! Prevent kinks in the cable.
9. When you have reeled in the cable, attach the hook to the shaft [3] to prevent that the cable unwinds.
Detaching a Cable
Warning! Be very careful when you detach an old cable. The cable clamp holds the cable under
tension, and the cable may spring back forcefully.
To detach an old cable, proceed as follows:
1. Detach any load from the cable.
2. Place the pawl [2] in the reel-out position [c].
