3.1 Wire Rope Replacement
1. Disengage the clutch T-handle.
2. Un-spool the entire rope, and remove it from the drum.
3. Place the replacement rope through the roller fairlead opening, pass under the drum and insert it into
the hole on the drum core. Tighten the set-screw downwards to secure the wire rope.
4. A minimum of five (5) wraps of wire rope around the drum is necessary to support the rated load.
• Check the wire rope. Before winching, make sure the rope
is wound on the drum evenly. If there is mixed winding, it is
essential to rewind it evenly.
• Be careful to keep the rope under tension. Never guide a
wire rope onto the drum with your hand, use a hand saver
cable strap.

3.2 Brake adjustment

Under normal use, the brake mechanism should not require any adjustment. If the brake fails to hold
a load, the brake disc may be worn and require adjustment or replacement. When the brake wears to
the point that the load begins to slip, the brake can be adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the bolt on the brake cover and take out the retaining rings
2. Insert spacers/washers to maintain the brake spacer between to be 2.2 ± 0.25 mm
3. Make sure the clutch base plate is rotated counter-clockwise by 150 – 180 degree
