Duty Cycle (Duration of use)
at least
14 minutes,
15 seconds
of rest
45 seconds winching
Avoid damage to the Winch by not winching
for more than the prescribed duty cycle time.
The Duty Cycle defines the amount of time, within
a 15 minute period, during which a Winch can
operate at its maximum capacity without overheating.
For example, this Winch with a 5% duty cycle at its
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 contributing to premature Winch failure.
Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained
in this manual must be performed
only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVEnT SERiOuS inJuRy FROM ACCiDEnTAL OPERATiOn:
unplug the Pendant connector and disconnect the Battery Cables before performing any

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, and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation.
Examine the wire rope. Do not use the winch if
the wire rope is frayed, kinked or damaged.
2.
AFTER uSE,
wipe external surfaces
of the winch with clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the wire rope occasionally with a light oil.
4. 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.
Wire Rope Replacement
1. Move Clutch Handle to the Released position.
2. Extend the Wire Rope to its full length,
noting how the existing Wire Rope is
connected to the inside of the drum.
3. Remove old Wire Rope and attach new assembly.
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.
4. Retract Wire Rope onto Wire Rope
drum being careful not to allow kinking.
Refer to instructions for tensioning the wire rope
under ″Preparing the Wire Rope on page 9.
