Section II: Tactik winching Guide
Congratulations on your recent purchase of a Tactik
winch. This high quality winch has the power and
performance to give you years of safe winching
capabilities if you use it properly. The following guide
will help you in using your Winch in the safest and most
effective manner. Please review the following winching
guide in its entirety before you use your winch and please
take note to the warnings and cautions as they are there
to protect you and others around you.
Part 1 - Before you use your Winch
Using your winch is straight forward and is designed to
be very user friendly. However, the use of a winch in a
parking lot vs. on the trail where there are unforeseen
obstacles and challenges are two completely different
situations. To make sure you are ready for a trail
recovery, we highly suggest the following steps/actions
be taken ahead of your trip to ensure a safe and pleasant
experience.
Preparing your winch line
before you use your winch.
The winch line must then be
pre-tensioned. Do NOT use
the winch line without
pre-tensioning it. First, place
clutch in Free Spool position
and slowly unspool all of the winch line from the drum.
The synthetic winch line must be pre-tensioned to ensure
that there’s an even stretch to eliminate any weak points.
To stretch your winch line, begin with 8 snug wraps
around the drum and set up a secure anchor point and
pull your vehicle (in neutral gear) with the winch up a
