CABLE INSTALLATION
An “A” or “B” decal on the clutch end bearing indicates the spooling direction of the cable. Also, a letter “A” or “B” is
stamped in the end bearing on the clutch end indicating rotation direction. If the decal is damaged or unreadable,
contact Customer Service for additional instructions to determine proper direction. To reverse the rotation direction,
exchange positions of the cartridge and plug shown below.
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite hook, with
plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Place taped end of cable into hole in cable drum as shown below. Use the 3/8-16NC x 1/2” long hex socket drive
setscrew (included with drum assembly item #1) to secure cable to drum.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in" direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the cable onto the cable
drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
After installing cable, check freespool operation. Disengage clutch and pull on cable at a walking speed. If cable
“birdnests”, loosen jam nut (item #22) and turn nylon setscrew (item #18) clockwise to increase drag on drum. If
cable pull is excessive, loosen nylon setscrew by turning counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut when proper setting is
obtained. CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING OF JAM NUT MAY STRIP NYLON SETSCREW
