Preparing the Synthetic Rope
The Synthetic Rope must be properly
coiled under tension to be able to
support a load without damage.
1. Find a suitable location where the
Rope can be spooled onto the
Winch while anchored to a solid
object. Approximately 70 feet will
be required. Alternately, a snatch
block (sold separately) may be used
to reduce the distance to 35 feet.
2. Move the clutch handle or knob to
the Freespool position and uncoil the
Synthetic Rope until 5 wraps remain
on the drum. Move the clutch handle
or knob back to the Engaged position.
3. Turn on vehicle’s engine, then slowly
and carefully move the vehicle in
reverse to remove slack from the line.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury
and death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, area must be well-
ventilated before starting an engine.
4. Place the vehicle in neutral. Spool the
Synthetic Rope back into the winch
while gently applying the brakes. If the
ground is flat, shallow mud or dirt, the
brakes can be fully applied. Pavement
can generate much higher loads, in
which case only light braking is needed.
5. Use a second person to monitor the
rope spooling evenly onto the drum.
WARNING! TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY:
Keep fingers
clear to prevent entanglement.
6. The last layer of Rope can be
put on without tension.
