X Tip for prolonging the life of Synthetic rope
1. Regular maintenance and periodically check the rope for damage or wear
2. Since too much abrasion can damage or weaken your synthetic rope, protect your rope from
rubbing against sharp objects or edge
3. An aluminum hawse fairlead is highly recommended since it has no sharp edges and resists
damage more easily than a roller fairlead
4. Keeping your synthetic rope clean and dry. To clean it after a muddy ride, spool out the
5. rope, rinse it with a hose, and let it dry completely before re-spooling

Brake Adjustment
Under normal use, the brake mechanism will not require any adjustment. If the brake fails to hold a
load, the brake disc may be worn and require 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 to keep the clutch base plate is rotated counter-clockwise by 150 – 180 degree

Lubrication
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated at the time of assembly. Under normal
conditions factory lubrication will suffice. If re-lubrication of gear box is necessary after repair or
disassembly use Shell EP2 or equivalent grease with enough quantity. Clutch T-handle lubricates
regularly with light oil. It is not allowed to have brake assembly lubricated.
