Secure the winch hook. While keeping the line near the ground, insert
the winch hook through the clevis/D-shackle. Check the anchor. Make
sure all connections are secured and free of debris before continuing
with the winching procedure.
Maintenance
²Inspect the wire rope before and after each winching operation. If the
wire rope has become kinked or frayed, it needs to be replaced. Be
sure to also inspect the winch hook and hook pin for signs of wear or
damage. Replace as necessary.
²Keep winch, wire rope and switch control free from contaminants. Use
a clean rag or towel to remove any dirt and debris. If necessary,
unwind the winch completely (leaving a minimum of five wraps of
rope on the drum) and wipe it clean before rewinding it. Using a light
oil on the rope and winch hook can keep rust and corrosion from
forming.
²Operating the winch for an extended period of time places an
additional load on your vehicle battery. Be sure to check and maintain
your battery and battery cables according to manufacturer guidelines.
Also, inspect the switch control and all electrical connections to be
certain they are clean and tight fitting.
²Inspect the remote control, if so equipped, for damage. Be sure to cap
the remote socket to prevent dirt and debris from entering the
connections. Store the remote control in a dry, protected area.
²No lubrication is required for the life of the winch.
