Due to minor variations in the diameter of the wire rope, the aver- age diameter may have to be determined in order to modify the speed of the rope winder. Take several diameter measurements along the length of the wire rope, and call GMP to determine the correct sprocket combination.
gled wraps, remove several feet of improperly wrapped rope and rewind, under tension, prior to starting the actual pull. To insure good operation, the wraps and lays must always be straight and compact. The winch is furnished with a caliper type drag brake. The brake is not designed to hold the load. The purpose of the brake is to control the drum rotation speed when paying out wire rope under free spool conditions.
output single width roller chain drives should be tight enough to prevent backlash but not exces- sively tight to cause bending of the reducer shafts. Special care should be taken when adjusting the first reduction chain. Rotate the drum (with the chain loose), to the point where the chain is at its tightest (its high spot).

The WG winch is designed to accept 7/16” diameter wire rope only. ● American produced wire rope is never smaller than the nominal diameter, always larger with a plus tolerance of 1/32” in the size range used on GMP Adams Winches. Some foreign product may be smaller. ●...
4. Remove the chain guards from the sprocket(s) to be changed. Be careful to not lose the hard- ware. 5. To loosen the chain loosen the jam nuts on the idler adjustment shaft. 6. Remove the chain connector and remove the chain from the sprocket(s) to be removed. 7.
Application engineering assistance is available from GMP. WARNING! The cable clamp alone is not designed to hold the rated load. Approximately ½ of the first layer of winch line must be left on the drum to achieve the rated load and avoid cable clamp failure.
