We recommend the use of a snatch block and double line technique for any loads
exceeding 50% of the winch rating. Always anchor the hook back to suitable chassis
fixing, not to the winch mounting plate.
•
Keep the vehicle engine running while winching to maintain battery charge.
•
A minimum of 6 tight wraps on the drum must be maintained to prevent failure of
drum fixing. Do not pull the wire rope out past the red marking.
•
Do not engage or disengage the clutch while under load or when the motor is
running.
•
Never drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way.
6. MAINTAINING YOUR WINCH
•
The winch should be exercised at least once a month: Power out approx. 10m of
cable, free spool 5m, then power back in under a minimum 100kg load.
•
Replace remote control batteries every 12 months or when exhausted.
•
Keep a protective winch cover fitted when the winch is not in use.
•
All moving parts are permanently lubricated with grease and with normal use do not
need greasing for the life of the winch.
•
Clean your winch after use. Use only low-pressure water and a brush to rinse off any
dirt. Run the winch for a minute or two after cleaning to warm up the motor and
assist in drying.
•
Once dry, you should use a light spray oil to coat the winch and wire rope before
installing the winch cover.
•
The winch should not be immersed in dirty water.
7. SYNTHETIC ROPE
•
Do not allow the rope to contact sharp or abrasive objects.
•
Do not expose to strong detergents, fuels, oils or anti-freeze solutions.
•
Avoid contact with high temperature surfaces e.g exhaust/engine.
•
After use; pull out the rope, wash, dry and carefully re-spool onto the drum.
