WARN Industrial Winches
Installation Final
Check
• Recheck mounting hardware for loose bolts,
etc.
• Be sure all hydraulic system components
and connections are correct
• Be sure all connections are tight and secure
• Check motor rotation: The drum should
rotate counterclockwise when viewed from
the motor end when hydraulic fluid is
supplied to Port A of the motor.
• To ensure maximum hydraulic motor life,
the winch should be operated for one hour
at no more than 30% of rated load before
application of full load.
The wire rope may be spooled on the winch drum
in either direction. Always follow the guidelines
for pull direction listed under Mounting the Winch.
1 Insert the end of the wire rope into the anchor
hole in the drum flange. NOTE: A small
piece of tape around the end of the wire rope
will make installation much easier. The wire
rope must extend to the other end of the hole.
2 Torque the set screws to 12-15 lb-ft (16-20 N-
m). Do not overtighten as this may cause the
screw threads to be damaged. Ensure both
(2) set screws secure the wire rope. Ensure
both (2) set screws do not protrude from the
drum flange.
3 With end of rope securely installed, carefully
wind the rope evenly onto the drum. Keep
the rope under tension at all times.
4 Always maintain a minimum of five (5) wraps
of rope on the drum. Fewer wraps may cause
the end of the rope to pull free of the drum
and drop the load.
