Operation
Take Line/Load In:
1. The cable must be securely fastened to the object being lifted and to the winch drum.
2. Always be sure that the cable and cable attachments are not damaged and are strong enough for the load.
Ensure there is an adequate safety factor of at least three times the maximum load for all components used.
3. Referring to the “Cable In/Cable Out” decal on the winch, turn handle according to the specified direction to
lift. The ratchet
MUST
make a loud clicking sound while pulling line in.
Let Line/Load Out:
1. Referring to the “Cable In/Cable Out” decal on the winch, turn handle according to the specified direction to
lower. No clicking will be heard because the brake system is activated.
Maintenance
The following procedures should be performed at least annually:
1. The gears and bushings of the winch must be kept lubricated. Apply a thin film of grease to the gear teeth,
and oil the bushings as needed.
2. The ratchet pawl pivot point must be kept lubricated with a thin oil.
3. Do not get oil or grease on the friction discs.

WINCH USE, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE - ELECTRIC
•
Keep the winch free of dirt, oil, grease, water and other substances.
•
Check all mounting bolts and make sure they are tightened to the recommended torque values. Replace
any damaged fasteners.
•
Periodically check all connections to be sure they are tight and free of corrosion.
•
Check the cable for visible damage every time the winch is operated. Examples of damage are: cuts, knots,
mashed or frayed portions, and broken strands. Replace cable immediately if damaged. Failure to replace
a damaged cable could result in breakage.
•
Regularly check the brake for slippage or drift. This is detected visually when winch is under load. If winch
drum continues to turn after controls are released, the brake may need to be replaced.
