MODEL #SE25 – 2,500LB (1134KG) WINCH
Synthetic Cable Usage
Exercising proper care to prolong the usable life of a
Synthetic Cable is your responsibility.
1.
Minimize Cable Abrasion – Use the supplied
protective sheath when the cable comes in contact
with trees, rocks, or other sharp abrasive objects.
The sheath is design to stay in position while the
cable slips through it during use.
2.
Keep the Cable Clean – Dirt, sand, and debris will
cause abrasion. Use the protective sheath to cover
the cable on the spool once the cable is in the
stowed position.
3.
Avoid Sharp Bends – If the cable is positioned at a
sharp angle, the strength under load will decrease
and cable damage or failure may result.
4.
Correct Spool Winding – When re-spooling cable
without a load, it is always better to have someone
apply a load to the line while you reel in evenly.
Re-spool the cable evenly and tightly on the drum.
If cable is wound loosely, it may become wedged
under adjacent layers and bind.
5.
DO NOT Grease or Oil – Do not lubricate synthetic
cable with greases or oils. Keep grease and oil
away at all times.
Snow Plow Usage
Winches are commonly used to lift a Snow Plow System,
but precautions and correct usage are required to prevent
costly damage.
noTICe
Follow these precautions before
using your Winch to lift a Plow. Failure to do so may
result in damage to your winch or vehicle frame.
1.
Stop the plow before full lift height - failure to do
so will cause the winch to pull against itself (i.e.
"bottom out") and will cause damage to the winch
components, your plow frame and your vehicle
frame.
noTICe
Winch damage such as stripped
gears, broken housings and bent or damaged parts
caused by exceeding your plow's lift height are not
covered under warranty.
2.
Do not continue to hold the Spool In button to
power the winch while reversing your vehicle or
other instances where the operator may become
distracted while plowing.
Protective Sheath
3.
Repeated spooling of a short length of cable
will increase heat and friction where the rollers
contact the synthetic cable. Minimize wear and the
possibility of premature failure by SLIDING THE
PROTECTIVE SHEATH BACK UP THE SPOOL.
4.
When the plow system is the in the DOWN position,
freespool out enough additional cable that you can
slide the sheath back up the spool (approx 7-8 ft
more). Push the sheath back up thru the optional
Cable Hook Stopper and the rollers. Re-spool the
winch.
5.
Be sure that the sheath completely clears the roller
fairlead once spooled tightly onto the winch. The
sheath will wrap around several layers on the spool.
Reposition the sheath back near the hook when not
used for plowing.
