Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect before and after use: Check the cable or synthetic rope for frays, kinks, or damage, and ensure the drum rotates smoothly.
-
Test operation regularly: Run the winch under no-load conditions to confirm smooth hydraulic engagement.
-
Check hydraulic connections: Ensure hoses and fittings are secure, leak-free, and properly tightened.
-
Clean and protect: Remove dirt, mud, and debris from the winch, drum, and fairlead; protect exposed metal surfaces from corrosion.
-
Monitor hydraulic fluid: Check reservoir levels and fluid condition periodically; replace or top off as recommended.
-
Avoid continuous heavy pulls: Allow the winch and hydraulic system to cool between long or heavy pulls to prevent overheating.
-
Store safely: When not in use, protect the winch from moisture and debris to maintain longevity.
