Extending the Life of Your Winch
1. KEEP
TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE ROPE
DRUM. Keep the wire rope tightly and evenly
wound on the drum all the time. Do not allow
the wire rope to become loosely wound.
loosely wound drum 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.
good practice is to rewind the wire rope
under tension after each use. pply tension
using hand saver strap (Figure 3) and
LW YS wear gloves.
2. DO NOT LLOW WINCH MOTOR TO
OVERHE T. Keep the duration of pulls as
short as possible. If the motor becomes
uncomfortably hot by touching, stop winching
and allow the motor to cool down. KEEP THE
VEHICLE ENGINE RUNNING TO RECH RGE
THE B TTERY during the cooling break.
3. USE
PULLEY BLOCK FOR HE VY
LO DS. To maximize Winch and wire rope
life, use a pulley block (not included) to
double line heavier loads. (See Figure 2)
(See www.trakkerwinch.com) lways use a
pulley block that is rated twice the capacity of
the winch.
C UTION
IF THE WINCH MOTOR ST LLS, DO NOT
CONTINUE TO PPLY POWER.

often much greater than the pull required to
keep it moving.

5. PREVENT KINKS BEFORE THEY OCCUR.

a. This is the start of a kink. Wire rope should
be straightened.
b. Wire rope was pulled and loop has
tightened into a kink. Wire rope is now
permanently damaged and MUST be
replaced
c. Result of kinking is that each strand pulls a
different amount causing strands under
greatest tension to break and reduce load
