Winch Lever Position Change for DB8000 Winch
The position of the lever effects the application of this winch considerably. For example
if the winch is to be fitted onto a ‘foot down’ mount such as a winch bumper, then the
clutch lever may foul the fairlead plate.
The steps below should allow you to change the position of the lever so that the mounting
position is no longer restricted.
Take a look at the current position of the
lever. It is on the forward edge of the winch
On the end of the casing you will see that
there are six screws which hold on the plate.
While removing these I suggest that the
winch is placed on end to stop the gears and
sleeves from falling one the plate is removed.
Once the plate is removed, you will see the
gears of the case.
Be careful to take note of the order in which
the sleeves, washers and gears come out for
when you come to reassemble them.
The gears themselves will be in three layers.
You will also see that each layer is thicker as
you draw them out of the case.
