16. Once recovery of the vehicle is complete, be sure to secure the
vehicle's brakes and put the transmission in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission). Release tension in the
wire rope.
17. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor.
18. Rewind the wire rope. Control
the winch at all times and walk the
rope in without letting it slide
through your hands.
19. Disconnect the remote control from the control box and store it in a
clean dry place. Install the cap on the solenoid plug.
How to spool under no load
Arrange the remote control lead so it cannot be caught in the winch.
Arrange the wire rope so it will not kink or tangle when spooled. Be sure
any wire rope already on the spooling drum is wound tightly and evenly
layered (unspool and tighten and layer evenly, if necessary). Keep the
wire rope under light tension and spool the wire rope back onto the
winch drum in even layers. Stop frequently to tighten and straighten the
layers as necessary. Repeat this process until the winch hook is the same
distance as the full length of the remote control from the winch. Attach
the hook strap, then walk the wire rope toward the fairlead, carefully
spooling in the remaining rope by pulsing the remote control switch.
Store the hook at the fairlead or tensioned to a suitable location to the
side.
