FREESPOOL OPERATION

Winch rope, either Wire or Synthetic, is a wear item in your WINCH2GO™. Any frayed, kinked,
or visibly damaged rope must be replaced immediately.
•When replacing your rope, or any other component on your WINCH2GO™, always use only
Superwinch® recommended replacement parts. Use of any other replacement parts is not recom-
mended and will void your warranty.
•To replace your rope, rst completely remove the old rope. For Wire Rope, this is done by loosening
the drum setscrew holding the rope in the drum hole, and unwrapping all of the rope from the drum.
Wear thick leather work gloves to protect your hands. For Synthetic Rope, unwrap all of the rope
from the drum, and remove the taped section and remove the rope from the drum hole.
•Once the old rope is removed, review the winch drum, the hawse area, and
baseplate for damage, sharp edges, or any other conditions that may
damage the new rope. Replace any worn or damaged
components.
•Unwrap and unroll your new rope. Feed the new rope through the
hawse opening in the baseplate, and under the winch drum. Pull the
rope up behind the drum, and insert the rope into the rope hole in the
winch drum.
•For Wire Rope, tighten the setscrew securely. For Synthetic Rope,
the rope is fed through the hole, the free end is then positioned along
the drum, and taped to the drum. The rope is then tightly wound onto
the drum.
MAINTENANCE - ROPE REPLACEMENT

Release tension on the freespool by jogging out some of the rope. Release the freespool and pull out
the rope and secure to the anchor or load. Check that there are at lease ve (5) turns of rope l
