Inspect all mounting bolts and verify they are
tightened to the recommended torque values.
Replace any damaged fasteners.
•
Periodically inspect all connections to be sure they
are tight and free of corrosion.
•
Inspect the cable for visible damage every time the
winch is operated. Examples of damage are: cuts,
knots, crushed or frayed portions, and broken
strands. Replace cable immediately if damaged.
Failure to replace a damaged cable could result in
breakage.

Periodically clean and grease the brake assembly.
This will ensure proper performance and extend
the life of the winch. If the winch seems to labor or
get excessively hot during the lowering of loads,
the brake will need to be serviced or replaced.
•
Inspect motor brushes periodically and replace
when necessary.
