SYNTHETIC ROPE CARE

Synthetic Rope Care:

Cleaning:

• Use low pressure water to clean synthetic

rope. Do not use any chemicals.

• Do not direct high pressure water (pressure

washers, car washes, etc.) directly between
the drum support and drum flange or
clutch lever.

• Use low pressure water and a soapy rag or

sponge to clean the winch.

• Avoid using chemicals that may damage

the finish.

• Thoroughly clean salt residue from the

winch as soon as possible to minimize
corrosion.

Rope Inspection:

WARNING

Always inspect winch rope, hook, and

slings before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or
damaged winch rope must be replaced immediately.
Damaged components must be replaced before
operation. Protect parts from damage.

When rope is first used, the outer filaments

of the rope will quickly fuzz up. This is the
result of these filaments breaking and this
roughened surface will actually protect
the fibers underneath. The condition
should stabilize, not progress. If the surface
roughness increases, excessive abrasion is
taking place and strength is being lost.

Look closely at both the inner and outer

fibers. When either is worn the rope is
obviously weakened. Open the strands and
look for powdered fiber—this is a sign of
internal wear.

Localized discolorations could potentially

represent chemical attack by anything from
gear oil to battery acid. When doubt exists,
replace the rope.

Rope should be replaced when:

• Rope bulk anywhere along the length is

reduced by 10% or more by abrasion.

• Two or more adjacent strands are cut.

• Flat areas or lumps are found that are not

eliminated by flexing rope.

• Excessive fused or melted fibers are found.

Any such areas will be stiff and the rope will
have a glazed appearance.

• Rope with original bulk.

• Rope displaying 25% strand volume

reduction from abrasion—rope
should be replaced.

• Rope strand showing full volume.

• Rope strand reduced by 25%

abrasion—rope should be replaced.

• Rope exhibits fi ber-set from

compression. A slight sheen is
visible. This is not a permanent
characteristic and can be eliminated
by fl exing the rope.

• Rope displays two adjacent cut

strands—rope should be replaced.

FINAL ANALYSIS AND MAINTENANCE

Check

Before fi rst

operation

After each

use

Every 90 days

Take time to fully read the Instructions and/
or Operations Guide, and/or Basic Guide to
Winching Techniques, in order to understand
your winch and its operations

Check fasteners and make sure they are tight
and to proper torque.

Replace damaged fasteners.

Verify wiring to all components is correct and
be certain that all connections are tight.

Verify there is no exposed/bare wiring,
terminals or cable insulation damage
(chafi ng/cutting).

Cover any exposures with terminal boots.
Repair or replace damaged electrical cable.

Inspect winch rope, hook, heat sleeve and
slings. Frayed, kinked or damaged winch
rope must be replaced immediately.

Damaged components must be replaced
before operation.

Keep winch, rope and switch control free
from contaminants.

Use a clean rag or towel to remove any
dirt and debris.

If winch is submerged in water:

Power winch rope out and back in about
30 feet. Follow the “Stretching Winch
Rope” procedure, in order to dry out
winch.

Take time to fully understand your winch and the winching operation by reviewing
