For example, this winch with a 5% duty cycle at 65% 
maximum load must be allowed to rest for at least 14 
minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of 
continuous operation. Failure to carefully observe duty 
cycle limitations can easily over-stress a winch, causing 
premature winch failure.

 

 

Do not attempt to pull full rated load for more than 20 
seconds. Release Power-In switch immediately when 
winch drum/rope stops. Allow winch to cool and change 
rigging as needed before continuing pull. 
 

After Each Use 

 

Inspect rope for damage. Replace immediately if damaged. 

 

Power winch in to wrap rope on winch drum neatly.  Watch rope carefully to make sure rope is 
spooled evenly onto the drum to avoid damage to winch structure or mounting plate. 

 

Wipe external surfaces of the winch with a clean cloth. 

 

Make sure the Remote Control is turned off before stowing.  It will automatically go to 
standby/off mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. 

 

Store the Remote Control in a secure location in the vehicle such as the glove box or cargo 
container. 

Maintenance 

WARNING

 

 

To prevent serious injury, disconnect the battery cables before performing any inspection, 
maintenance, or cleaning procedures. 

 

To prevent serious injury from winch failure, do not use damaged equipment. If an abnormal 
noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. 

 

When operating a steel cable winch, be sure to check and maintain cable. Maintenance may 
include lubricating rope occasionally with a light oil. 

 

The winch

’s internal mechanism is permanently lubricated. Do not open the housing. However, 

if the winch is submerged, it should be opened, dried, and re-lubricated by a qualified technician 
as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. 

 
Rope Inspection and Care: 

Wire Ropes 

 

Inspect the rope before and after each use.  Replace rope if it has broken wires, kinks, heavy 
corrosion, or other damage. 

 

Rope can be cleaned with low pressure jetted water.  Allow to thoroughly dry before covering 
winch. 

 

Light mineral oil can be applied to steel ropes to minimize corrosion. 
 

Synthetic Rope 

 

Inspect the rope before and after each use.  Replaced rope if it is damaged in any way as shown 
in images below.
