Troubleshooting
Cable is difficult to wind onto the drum
Ensure the cable is not tangled and is being fed onto the drum evenly. Check that the winch drum has sufficient space for the cable length.
Snap hook is difficult to open or close
Inspect the snap hook for debris or damage. Clean it with a brush and lubricate if necessary, ensuring it operates smoothly before use.
Visible fraying or damage to the cable
Immediately cease use. Inspect the entire length for damage. If significant fraying or damage is present, the cable should be replaced to ensure safety.
Cable slips under load
Verify the cable is securely fastened to the winch drum and is not excessively worn. Ensure the load being pulled does not exceed the cable's 1000kg capacity.
