2.8 Tips for Prolonging The Life Of Synthetic Rope
• Check the rope for damage or wear before each use.
• Abrasion can damage or weaken your synthetic rope, protect your rope from rubbing against sharp objects.
• An aluminum hawse fairlead is recommended because it has no sharp edges and resists damage
more easily than a roller fairlead.
• Keep your synthetic rope clean and dry. To clean it, spool out the rope, rinse it with a hose, and let it
dry completely before re-spooling.
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/synthetic
rope. If you power out over 25 feet, let the winch cool for 15 minutes.
Do not use the winch as a lifting device or a hoist for vertical lifting.
WARNING
The “Power-Out” function should be used for relieving tension on the rope,
not for extended distances.
