Wire/Synthetic Rope Replacement
Lubrication
Before installing a new wire/synthetic rope, wrap the end of the wire/synthetic rope with
tape to prevent fraying. Wind the wire/synthetic rope on the drum by pulling a force to keep
the tension constant. Never use a wire/synthetic rope of a different size or material.
1). Disengage the clutch.
2). Have horizontal roller and bolts apart from the roller fairlead, then Spool the old wire/synthetic
rope, and then remove it from the drum.
3). Place the replacement wire/synthetic rope through the roller/hawse fairlead throat, pass it
below the drum. Insert rope into pocket opening and through wedge pocket.
4). Loop rope end around wedge and feed rope back through wedge pocket.
5). Once slack is taken up, the wire/synthetic rope is properly installed.
6). Tighten the horizontal roller of the roller fairlead and bolts of the roller/hawse fairlead
7). Wear leather gloves and use a strap when guiding the wire/synthetic rope off the drum.
8). Rewind wire/synthetic rope on the drum correctly, it is necessary to keep a slight load on
the wire/synthetic rope while cable in.
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated at the time of kit. Under normal
conditions factory lubrication will suffice. If re-lubrication is necessary after repair, please
use marine type grease.
