Page 11: Tips For Extending The Life Of Your Winch
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR WINCH 1. Keep a tightly wound wire rope drum. Do not allow the wire rope to become loosely wound. A loosely-wound spool allows a wire rope under load to work its way down into the layers of wire rope on the drum. When this happens, the wire rope may become wedged within the body of the windings damaging the wire rope. -

WINCH OPERATION FREESPOOL OPERATION When wire rope is removed from the drum, as in bringing the hook to the load, the freespool featues of the winch should be used. To Engage: Turn the freespool handle to the ‘engage’ position. Pull the rope out (wearing a pair of gloves) until the freespool pin engages (the handle drops). -
