Installation Manual
- Do not replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength.
- The life of cable is directly related to the use and care it receives. Following its first and subsequent uses, a cable
must be wound onto the drum under a load of at least 500lbs (230kg) or the outer wraps will draw into the inner
wraps and severely damage the cable during winching. The first winch use should be a familiar run while in a
relaxed, non-recovery situation. Spool out the cable until the red cable mark appears (about five wraps on the
drum), when rewind the cable onto the drum under a load of 500lbs (230kg) or more. This will slightly tension and
stretch the new cable and create a tight cable wrap around the drum. Failure to do so may result in cable damage
and reduced cable life.
- When the cable is replaced, be sure to apply locktite, or the cable clamp thread. Tighten the clamp screw properly
but do not over-tighten. The lockkite will prevent loosening of the screw in arduous conditions. Locktite 7471
primer and 222 Thread Locker are recommended.
17. Do not attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this winch.
18. Do not drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way. Vehicle movement in combination with winch operation
may overload the cable, the winch itself or cause damaging shock loads.
19. Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an increased force is suddenly applied to the
cable. A vehicle rolling back on a slack cable may induce a damaging shock load.
20. The winches shown in this manual are solely for vehicle and boat mount, non-industrial applications.
21. Do not use winch in hoisting applications due to required hoist safety factors and features.
22. Do not use the winch to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
23. Do not move your winch by lifting the cable leads or the clutch handle lever.
