This winch has been fully lubricated at the factory; but, for continued smooth performance and
increased life, occasional greasing of gears and reel shaft and an occasional drop of oil on drive
shaft bearings are recommended.
Inspect periodically all parts, steel cable, accessories and replace them if damaged or used.
Have damaged parts replaced by an authorized service center.
Check the nuts periodically and tighten them if they are loose.

and could result in personal injury or property damage.

Maintain the winch by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance
with the following recommended procedures. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool
