Useful tips
• If the winch is only to be used for raising and lowering a snow plough blade,
it is advisable to fit a shorter winch cable to the drum, the full-length cable could
become damaged if only the same part of it is used every time. When using long
winch cables, it is advisable to winch out the entire length of the cable and
winch it back in again from time to time.
• Pulling with a double cable (line) and a pulley block halves the load on the winch.
Single Line Pull
Double Line Pull
• Never try to turn the freespool/engaged knob when the cable is under load –
make sure that the cable is slack first.
Care and maintenance
• Ensure that all mounting bolts are properly tightened.
• Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified tradesman.
• The gearbox is factory lubricated for life. Further lubrication of the gearbox is
not necessary.
• Inspect the battery leads regularly. The leads should be clean and
the connections tight.
• Inspect the cable before and after every operation of the winch.
Replace the line if it is damaged.
Replacing the winch cable
1. Disengage the winch drum (set to freespool).
2. Spool out the old cable and remove the fastening screw.
3. Insert the end of the new cable into the hole. Make sure that it is inserted correctly
bearing in mind the direction of the drum rotation.
4. Tighten the fastening screw.
5. Winch the cable onto the drum.
Make sure that the cable winds evenly onto the drum
Check regularly to make sure that the cable is wound evenly on the drum.
1. Spool out the cable until 5 turns remain on the drum and then winch it back in
under a load of about 200 kg.
2. Steer the cable onto the drum to ensure that it is evenly and tightly wound.
