SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
Winch makes noise but rope does
not move
Winch not in proper gear
Rotate gear knob fully into L or H,
then recheck.
Winch operates too slowly Winch in wrong gear Rotate gear knob into proper gear,
then recheck.
Winch improperly loaded The winch operates slowly in Low
gear. In High (Rapid Recovery),
the winch operates quickly but can
be slowed if there is a load on the
rope or if the rope is bound up
inside the spool area. Check that
the winch is clear and the rope is
not bound up and that there is no
load pulling on the rope.
Winch will not change gears Rope is still under load The gears are purposely hard to
shift when a load is on the rope to
prevent accidental operation,
which could lead to winch failure or
personal injury. Make sure the rope
has no load in tension, then check
that the rope is not bunched up
and bound inside the spool area.
Operate the winch for a short
period, then attempt to shift again.
