Cable Tensioner Overhaul
Note: Your winch will come in either an overwound or underwound version. The disassembly and
reassembly of the cable tensioner is the same for either, but the mounting of the cable tensioner to
the tiebar will be reversed for an underwound winch.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the cable tensioner at the “T” fitting (item #10).
2. Remove nuts (item #7) from actuators (item #12) that hold the actuators to the tensioner plate
(item #1). Remove pin (item #3) by removing cotter pin (item #9) and washer (item #8) on both
sides.
3. Remove the tensioner plate and inspect the actuators for damage.
4. Remove and replace any damaged parts. Tighten capscrews (item #6) that attach tensioner bar
to tensioner plate to 30 ft-lbs. torque.
5. Insert the pin (item #3) through the bracket (item #5) and secure with the washer (item #8) and
cotter pin (item #9). Replace nuts (item #7) and tighten to 8-10 ft-lbs. torque.
