3.2 Synthetic Rope Replacement
1. Disengage the clutch handle, remove the existing rope and replace the hawse fairlead if necessary.
2. Un-spool the rope from the drum. Remove the set-screw from the drum.
3. Cut the end of the new rope at 45° and apply 2-3 wraps of electrical tape to hold the cut strands in
place. This will ease assembly.
4. Remove Rope.
5. Thread rope through a hawse fairlead and under the drum per Figure 18, insert the rope through the
hole on the drum with 6” – 8” to spare.
6. Place rope across the drum and tape the end down to hold it in place. See Figure 18. Lightly tighten
the set-screw to squeeze the rope, do not over tighten.
7. A minimum of ten (10) wraps of rope around the drum is necessary to support the rated load.

• Check the wire/synthetic rope.
Before winching, make
sure the rope is wound on the drum evenly. If there is mixed
winding, it is essential to rewind it evenly.
• Be careful to keep the rope under tension. Never guide a
wire/synthetic rope onto the drum with your hand, use a
hand saver cable strap.

authorized repair center. The gearbox has been lubricated using a high temperature lithium grease and
is sealed at the factory. No internal lubrication is required. Regularly lubricate clutch handle with light
oil. Never lubricate the brake system.
