12. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or
cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.
13. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the
winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long periods.
14. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation,
stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.
15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch
drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.
A. Release the clutch on the winch.
B. Feed out the winch cable that is unevenly bunched up in one area.
C. Re-engage the winch clutch.
D. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension using the hook strap.
E. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly dis-
tribute the winch cable on the drum.
F. Doing this reduces the chances of the winch cable “wedging” itself between lower layers of winch cable.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if
any part needs repair or replacement.
2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable.
A. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is shown at right. Even
after being “straightened out,” this cable has already been
permanently and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue use of
a winch cable in this condition.
B. A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been
“straightened out” is shown at right. Even though it may look
usable, the cable has been permanently and severely damaged. It
can no longer transmit the load that it could prior to kinking.
Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.
C. A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for
signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed (shown at right). Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in
this condition.
D. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers.
Such an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth
or glazed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this
condition.
use a worn or damaged cable. Use of a worn
or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and
