Winch Maintenance
No further internal lubrication is required for the life of the winch. The winch should not
be emerges in water (waterproof winch should not be soaked in water for a long time).
If the winch immersions in water by accident, you should loosen the screws, tilt the
winch to drain out the water as soon as possible. You should not use the winch within
(3) three days. After three days, turn on the winch and keep the motor running until
hands can feel it hot on the motor to vaporize any water in the motor.
Lubricate the cable periodically. Replace a new cable as soon as possible if glitch,
fracture, and/or crease were to occur.
You should clean and lubricate after use; always store the winch in a dry place,
disengage the clutch, and out of reach for children.
Check each assembly or connection screw; if loosen or corrode, please repair and
replace before use.
