1.5 Install the Rope
WARNING
ALWAYS complete the winch installation and hook attachment before installing the wiring.
ALWAYS pre-stretch rope and re-spool under load before use. Tightly wound rope reduces
chances of "binding", which can damage the rope.
A minimum of five (5) wraps of steel wire rope and a minimum of ten (10) wraps of synthetic
rope around the drum is necessary to support the rated load.
ALWAYS spool the winch rope onto the drum in an under wound orientation.
Roller Fairlead
The use of a 4 way roller fairlead can reduce the contacting friction with the wire rope. The fairlead
does not ensure the wire rope will wind onto the drum in an orderly manner. The proper pulling angle
must be maintained for the wire rope to wind onto the drum in an orderly manner. If the proper pulling
angle is not maintained, it can result in damage to the winch and wire rope. Figure 14 on page 13.
Hawse Fairlead
The use of a Hawse Fairlead can reduce the contacting friction with the synthetic rope. An aluminum
hawse fairlead is recommended because it has no sharp edges and resists wear damage more effec-
tively than a roller fairlead. The fairlead does not ensure the synthetic rope will wind onto the drum in
an orderly manner. If the proper pulling angle is not maintained, it can result in damage to the winch
and synthetic rope. Figure 14 on page 13.
