Maintenance - Bulldog DC Serie Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING
Do not use the winch as a lifting device or a hoist for vertical lifting.
CAUTION
The Power-Out function should be used for relieving tension on the rope,
not for extended distances.
The Power-Out function drives the winch motor against the brake which is similar to driving your
vehicle with the parking brake engaged. Do not use the Power-Out function for lowering a load --
winches are not designed to be used as hoists. Use the free-spool function to pay out wire rope.
If you Power-Out over 25 feet, let the winch cool for 15 minutes.
3.1 Install/Replace the Rope
WARNING
ALWAYS complete the winch installation and hook attachment before installing the wiring.
ALWAYS pre-stretch rope and re-spool under load before use. Tightly wound rope reduces
chances of "binding", which can damage the rope.
A minimum of five (5) wraps of steel wire rope around the drum is necessary to support the
rated load.
ALWAYS spool the winch rope onto the drum in the direction specified by the drum rotation
labels on the winch and/or in the documentation. This is required for the automatic brake to
function properly.
Never substitute a heavier or lighter rope. Never use rope made of any material other than wire.
1. Un-spool the entire wire rope, then take it out from the drum.
2. Put the replacement wire rope through the fairlead opening, pass below the drum, and insert it into
the hole of drum core.
3. Tighten the screw downwards to secure the wire rope.
