WINCH GUIDE
58
WARNING
15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be
necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will
need an assistant to perform this task.
a. Release the clutch on the winch.
b. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.
c. Re-engage the winch clutch.
d. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg)
of tension using the hook strap.
e. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch
cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on
the drum.
f. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable
“wedging” itself
between lower layers of winch cable.
WINCH CABLE CARE
For your safety, always replace DW INDUSTRIES winch parts (including the
cable) with genuine DW INDUSTRIES replacement parts available at your
authorized DW INDUSTRIES dealer.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts
including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or
replacement.
Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE
INJURY.
