FREESPOOL ADJUSTMENT
Using a long screw driver or pry bar, turn the threaded
adjuster clockwise until tight. Tap the adjuster with a
hammer to seat the bearing and continue turning until
the adjuster can no longer be tightened. Back the
adjuster out no more than 1/16 turn maximum and
secure with lock plate and capscrews. Tighten the cap-
screws to 75 lb•ft (102 N•m) torque.
NOTE: Tightening the threaded adjuster pushes
the tapered bearing cup (outer race) into closer
contact with the bearing cone and increases the
bearing drag; much like tightening a wheel bear-
ing nut on an automobile or truck. The snug fit-
ting bearing cup will NOT move outward with the
threaded adjuster when the adjuster is loosened.
The winch must be operated under load for a
brief period to allow the gear train load to push
the outer bearing cup out against the threaded
adjuster before a reduction in bearing drag can
be noticed.
Freespool is ONLY to be used when the tractor is
stopped for pulling wire rope off the cable drum by
hand. DO NOT use Freespool when the tractor is in
motion, to release a load or to move away from a
load that is attached to the wire rope. Damage to the
gear train and loss of load control may result. Loss
of load control may result in property damage, injury
or death.
To release a load, or to move away from a load, the
Reel-Out function or the Brake-Off function MUST
be used. Remove any load from the winch cable
BEFORE selecting Freespool.
The tractor and the winch cable drum MUST be
stopped BEFORE engaging the gear train. Gear
train damage will result from attempting to engage
the gear train when the cable drum is rotating.
Do not back off adjuster more than 1/16 turn as this
allows excessive shaft end play and may cause gear
train misalignment, accelerated wear and noise.
