Maintenance & Storage

It is highly recommended that the winch be used regularly (once a month). Simply power the rope out 15m, free

spool 5 m and then power back in. This will keep all components in good working condition.

All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of

assembly. Under normal conditions factory lubrication will su ce. Inspect for any frays in the rope and replace if

necessary. If the rope becomes worn or damaged it must be replaced.

If you choose to remove the winch from your vehicle, store in an ambient, dry environment until you are ready to re-install

1. Your battery must be kept in good condition.

CAUTION:

2. Be sure battery cables are not drawn taught across any surfaces which could possibly damage them.

3. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.

4. Clean all connections especially in remote control switch and receptacle.

5. In salty environments use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion.

It is also recommended to have your winch serviced every 12 months to keep the unit in optimum working condition.

• Many councils hold e-waste (electronic waste) collections. Contact your nearest council to enquire about the best

method of disposal in your area.

Q: How much rated line pull do I need?

A: Rated line pull refers to the maximum amount of weight that a winch can shoulder, so you need a winch with enough

strength to handle your vehicle's weight. Thankfully, there is a simple formula for calculating the correct rated line

pull: Gross Vehicle Weight x 1.5 = Minimum Rated Line Pull.

Q: Can I remove my winch?

A: Yes. During the o season, you can unbolt your winch and leave it at home. Some mounts make it easy to

remove the winch, and some require a bit more e ort. Hitch mounts and grille guard mounts are the easiest since

the winch is so accessible. In a hidden, semi-hidden or replacement bumper setup, the winch sits behind or below

the bumper, so removal can be tricky.

Q: Can I operate my winch wirel essly?

A: Yes. While all winches come with a wired remote control, your 4X4 Tough Winch also operates wirelessly. With

maximum ranges of between 25 and 30 metres, Refer to the operating instructions on page 13 within this manual.

Q: What's the diﬀerence between electric and hydraulic winches?

A: The basic di erence between an electric and a hydraulic winch is the power source. Electric winches link to the

vehicles battery, whereas hydraulic winches are driven from the power steering pump. Electric winches are the

most prevalent in the market place and as such greater choice is available. They have the advantage of being able

to operate without the vehicle running, however as they draw signi cant power from the battery it is recommended

the vehicle be running whilst winching operations are underway .Electric winches generate signi cant heat and it is

important they be run for only short periods of time before being rested to cool down. Hydraulic winches are able to

operate on a more continuous basis, however they can only operate if the vehicle is running.
