VI. Maintenance
The free-spool allows rapid wire rope payout for hooking onto the load or anchor points
and is operated by a free-spool level.
The free-spool level must be in the “Engaged” position before winching (fig 12)
1). To disengage the free-spool by lifting a free-spool lever in the “Disengaged” position, wire
rope can now be free spooled on the drum (fig13)
2). To engaged the free-spool, press a free-spool level in the “Engaged” position.
3). If a free-spool lever can’t be properly locked in the “Disengaged” position, rotate the drum
to make the pole free-spool to couple the gear train completely.
4). Wear leather gloves and use a handsaver strap when guiding the wire rope out of the drum.

Clutch Function
The proper usage of a snatch block will nearly double the capacity of the winch but the
speed will decay 50%.
It is recommended to use snatch block for loading over the rated load.
When a snatch block is applied, be sure that the anchor point of the hook is secured to
withstand the double line rated capacity of the winch.
Use a Snatch Block Assembly
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated at the time of assembly. Under
normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice. If re-lubrication is necessary after repair or
disassembly only use marine type grease.
Lubrication
Never substitute a heavier or lighter wire rope. Never use rope made of any material other
than wire.
1). Spool the entire wire rope, then cut and take it out from the drum.
2). Put the replacement wire rope through the fairlead opening, pass below the drum, and
insert it into the hole of drum core.
3). Tighten the screw downwards to secure the wire rope(fig14).
4). Secure the wire rope to the hook with 2 sets of cable clip, tighten the screw completely (fig 15).
