Standard Use and Frequent Use. These categories are determined
by how
many hours of constant running time the Winch has
undertaken.
INFREQUENT USE: If the Winch is used for less than 25
hours per year, then it should be serviced every 3 years.
STANDARD USE: If the Winch is used for between 25-50
hours per
year (around 10 Winch pulls per week), then it
should be serviced every 2 years.
FREQUENT USE: If the Winch is used for over 50 hours
per year
(around 20 Winch pulls per week), it should be
serviced every year.
WARNING: Failure to properly service your winch may
result in
serious injury and/or death to the operator
and/or people nearby.
Servicing your winch
Do not
pressure wash the winch. Pressure washing the winch can
force water between the seals and gaskets. This may damage and
disable the winch.
Check the battery regularly. Make sure that it is in good condition
and is fully charged.
Check that all of the connections are clean and tight. Corrosion on
the battery connections can aect the performance of the Winch.
Make sure that the battery connections are tight.
The Winch is protected from water and rain, but avoid submerging
the Winch
for a prolonged time, particularly if the Winch casing is
warm / hot.
If the Winch does become submerged, once clear, run the Winch
in and out for about 30 feet (9 meters) of Winch Rope to generate
heat inside the Winch, to help dry the inside of the casing.
Always inspect the full length of the Winch Rope before applying
any load to it.
