FAQs
What is the maximum winch capacity this fairlead supports?
This WINCHMAX Roller Fairlead is designed for winches rated up to 17,000lb.

How often should I clean the rollers?
It is recommended to clean the rollers regularly, especially after use in muddy or dusty conditions, to ensure smooth operation.
What material are the rollers made of?
The product description does not specify the material of the rollers, but they are designed to be durable and reduce friction.
Do I need special tools to install this fairlead?
Standard tools for mounting hardware, such as wrenches or sockets, are typically required for installation. Ensure you have the correct size for your mounting bolts.
Will this fairlead fit any winch?
It is compatible with winches up to 17,000lb and requires a compatible mounting bolt pattern on your winch system. Always check your winch specifications.
Troubleshooting
Cable binding or catching on rollers
Check the alignment of the fairlead with the winch drum. Ensure there are no obstructions or debris around the rollers. Verify that the correct type of cable (steel) is being used.
Excessive noise during operation
Inspect the rollers for wear or damage. Clean any grit or debris from between the rollers and their housing. Ensure the fairlead is securely bolted to the winch mount.
Uneven spooling of the cable
Re-evaluate the fairlead's mounting position. It might be slightly off-center, causing the cable to favor one side of the drum. Adjust the mounting bolts for proper alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Mount the roller fairlead securely to your winch system using appropriate hardware, ensuring it is aligned with the winch drum. The mounting pattern should match your winch's specifications. It is crucial that the fairlead is positioned to guide the cable directly onto the center of the drum without any lateral binding.
Compatibility: This fairlead is specifically designed for winches with a maximum rating of 17,000lb and is most beneficial when used with steel winch cables. Ensure your winch mounting plate has the correct bolt pattern for this unit.
Care: Regularly inspect the rollers for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean the rollers and the surrounding area with a damp cloth or a soft brush to ensure free rotation. Lubrication is generally not required, but check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific winch system. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the rollers.
