Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1.
BEFORE EACH USE,
inspect the general
condition of the Winch. Check for:
• loose hardware
• misalignment or binding of moving parts
• cracked or broken parts
• damaged electrical wiring
• corroded or loose terminals
• frayed, kinked or damaged wire rope
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2.
AFTER USE,
wipe external surfaces
of the Winch with clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the Wire Rope occasionally with a light oil.
4. Every six months, remove two Lock Nuts and
the Clutch Knob (19) and separate the Left and
Right Shells (41, 32a) to grease the Gears. Use
any good quality, waterproof gear grease.
5. If the Winch becomes wet during use,
remove the Clutch Knob, separate the Left
and Right Shells, dry all parts, then grease
and lubricate as in steps 3 and 4 above.
6. If the Winch is exposed to salt water, rinse
with fresh water and allow to drain thoroughly,
then dry completely as in step 5 and grease
and lubricate as in steps 3 and 4 above.
7. Do not pull battery wires against any
surfaces which could damage them.
8. If the Winch is permanently mounted,
periodically remove and clean wire
connections to the battery. Corrosion will
reduce performance or may cause a short.
9. Secure and cover the Winch when not in use.

Clutch Knob (19) counterclockwise.
2. Extend the Wire Rope to its full length,
noting how the existing Wire Rope is
connected to the inside of the drum.

CAUTION:
Do not replace with inferior wire rope.
Only use a wire rope rated to the same rating
cited on the specification chart or better.
