MAINTENANCE
WINCH
It is highly recommended that the winch be operated regularly (once a month). Simply power the cable out
15m, free spool 5m and then power back in. This will keep all components in good working condition so that
the winch can be relied on when needed.
SYNTHETIC ROPE
Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your winch rope. Periodically check the rope for damage or wear.
Also, it's just as important to check the fairlead for damage, as a roughed-up fairlead can easily damage your
rope.
Never combine a synthetic rope with a fairlead that has sharp edges, such as a fairlead worn down by steel
cable.
An aluminium hawse fairlead is highly recommended for use with synthetic rope, since the aluminium hawse
has no sharp edges and resists damage more easily than a roller fairlead.
Wash your synthetic rope regularly and always after driving through mud or saltwater. Unwind the rope and
rinse it off with a garden hose to remove mud, salt, grit, and debris. Never use solvents, bleach, or harsh
detergents to clean your rope. They can weaken the fibres and compromise the strength of the rope. Let the
rope air dry before storing or respooling. Keep synthetic rope covered to slow down the fading of the rope.
Even with UV inhibitors, exposure to the sun will eventually fade the colour on your rope. Synthetic line is
designed to withstand harsh exposure to the elements, since it was originally developed for marine use, but it
will last longer (and look better) if you keep it covered.
