When winch reaches the end of its serviceable life, dispose of
per local environmental regulations
1. Jar solenoid to free contacts. Check by applying 12 volts to coil
terminal
(it should make an audible click when energized).
2. Disengage winch clutch, remove remote control switch plug from the
socket and jump pins at 8 and 4 o'clock. Motor should run.
1. Cooling-off periods are essential to prevent overheating.
2. Check battery terminal voltage under load. If 10 volts or less, replace
or parallel another battery to it.
1. Must be Grade 2 or equivalent or larger if longer than 4,5 M (15 feet).
2. Check all connections for looseness or corrosion; tighten, clean and
grease.
3. Replace with larger capacity charging system.
1. Adjust rated load limiter per instructions on page 4 and 5.
1-4 If clutch engaged by symptom still exists, it will be necessary to
disassemble winch to determine cause and repair.
1. Jar solenoid to free contacts. Check by applying 12 volts to coil
terminal (it should make an audible click when energized).
2. Disengage winch clutch, remove remote control switch plug from the
socket and jump pins at 8 and 4 o'clock. Motor should run.
3. If solenoids operate, check for voltage at armature post, replace
motor.
4. Tighten connections on bottom side of hood and on motor.
1. Allow to drain and dry thoroughly, then run motor without load in
short bursts to dry windings
1. Clean and lubricate
2. Remove rubber plug from clutch housing and rotate setscrew
outward until clutch operates smoothly. Replace rubber plug.
3. Replace yoke or shifter assembly.
4. If drum shaft keyways are rounded or damaged replace shaft and
keys. If not, file off burrs and replace keys.
1. Replace
1. Remove rubber plug from clutch housing, tighten setscrew or replace.
Replace plug.
1. New seals sometimes leak until seated to shaft.
2. Replace.
