A damaged mounting plate can become misshapen,
potentially causing
the winch drum to jam. Make sure
the mounting plate is in good condition and properly
aligned.
Winch will not hold vehicle weight
This can be caused by worn friction material or if the Winch brake
has overheated from an extended period of powering out the
Winch Rope.
The winch will secure your Grenadier in place when winching on
an incline, provided the stress applied to the winch and associated
equipment does not exceed their respective load ratings.
If it does not, make sure the winch rope isn't slipping on the drum.
If you notice it slipping, stop winching and wait until the drum
stops. When it's safe, pull the rope out to the red marker and
rewind it, applying more tension.
The Plasma Lock anchors the winch rope to the drum using
tension and friction. It features two loops. The rope goes through
the rst loop, wraps around the lock body four times, and then
enters the opposite loop. The provided image illustrates this
setup, showing the rope through the rst loop and wrapped once
over the Plasma Lock.
The following image shows the Plasma Lock with the Winch Rope
inserted through rst loop (1) and then one wrap of the Winch
Rope around the Winch Drum and over the Plasma Lock (2).
