Winch; Maintenance - Grizzly H7604 Instruction Manual

Winch

Never use the hand crank to assist
the operating winch. This will dam-
age the winch and may cause seri-
ous personal injury.
To operate the electric winch:
1. Place the vehicle in low gear (manual
transmission) or Park (automatic trans-
mission). Put your emergency brake
ON and block the wheels with suitable
chocks.
2. Attach the power and control cables to
the winch.
3. Unlock the cable by turning the clutch
knob counterclockwise, then pull out
the amount of cable you need. Always
leave at least three turns of cable on
the winch to prevent it from slipping off
under initial tension.
4. Hook onto the pulling object using a
pulling point, tow strap, or chain as
shown in Figure 6.

Never wrap the cable around an
object and attach the hook to the
cable. This can damage the object
and fray or kink the cable. Should
the cable or pulling object break,
serious personal injury could occur.
5. Retighten the clutch knob and tighten
the inner hex nut.
6. Attach the power cord to the 12V bat-
tery.
7. Stand clear of the cable. Use the remote
control to turn the winch ON and begin
retracting the cable.

Maintenance

1. Occasionally lubricate the cable with a
light machine oil.
2. Grease the gears every 6 months.
Separate the left and right housing to
expose the gears. Use a good quality
waterproof grease.
Occasionally examine the cable for
any fray or other damage. Damage
to the cable can significantly
reduce the pulling capacity and will
increase the likelihood of breaking
under load. This could cause seri-
ous personal injury.
