After A1 or A2 - Remove the winch from the foundation.
• Check fasteners for stripped threads, wear, bending, and other damage.
• Check the frame (winch body) for bending, distortion, cracks, and other damage. A
bent frame is caused by overloading, and is a sign that your application may require a
winch with a larger load rating.
Move the drum with your hands.
• Check for excessive movement indicating worn or loose gears, bushings, or shafts.
• Disassemble the winch if necessary. Inspect gears, pins, springs and shafts for wear,
corrosion, distortion, and other damage
Fasten the winch securely to the foundation.
Install the wire cable / webbing / fibre rope.
Test winch performance by operating the winch with a test load equal to the load rating.
• Listen for unusual noises, and look for signs of damage as you operate the winch.
• Make sure the winch cable winds evenly and tightly onto the drum. If it is loose or uneven, rewind it before continuing.
• Make sure the handle moves freely in both directions.
• Make sure the Pawl (ratchet) engages and disengages completely.
Completely correct all problems before continuing. Use the Troubleshooting Chart (below) to help determine the cause of certain
problems.
