Cable Management
• Replace cable when it shows signs of wear (frays, bends, kinks, etc.).
• Use either 1/8” or 3/16” cables. Your new Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch comes with 150
feet of 3/16” aircraft cable.
• For safety reasons, keep at least 10-20 wraps on the drum at all times.
• Ensure that there is no slack on the cable before starting up your chainsaw. This prevents
sudden jerking on the cable that could break the shear-pins of your Powerhouse Chainsaw
Winch. This can cause the spool to free wheel.
• If your load comes up against an obstacle, do not force the winch to pull it free. This can
damage the winch, especially if you are using the larger chainsaw engines. Instead, stop
the engine, and check on the unknown load. Remove it if possible before you start pulling
again.
