When re-spooling the cable/rope, ensure that it spools
in the under-wind position with the cable/rope entering
the drum from the bottom, not the top.
To re-spool correctly, and while wearing gloves, keep
a slight load on the cable/rope while pushing the
remote button to draw in the cable/rope. Walk toward
the winch not allowing the cable to slide through your
hands. Do not let your hands get within 12 inches
(30 cm) of the winch while re-spooling. Turn off the
winch and repeat the procedure until a few feet of
cable/rope are left. Disconnect the remote control and
finish spooling by rotating the drum by hand with the
clutch disengaged. Keep hands clear of the fairlead
and drum while the winch is under power .
cAUTiON
Do not wrap the cable/rope around any object and
hook it back onto itself.
