Installation Instructions for Trailer Winches
Part Numbers:
- N142200
Tools Required:
- None specified
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Mounting the Winch:
- The winch stand must support at least five times the rated capacity of the winch.
- Ensure the mounting surface equals or exceeds the winch frame footprint.
- Use three (3) 3/8” diameter grade-5 bolts, torqued to 28-30 ft-lbs.
- Confirm that the winch is securely mounted to the structure.
Attaching the Winch Line:
- Rope:
- Weave the rope through the drum's outer wall and secure it beneath itself.
- Strap:
- Use a grade-5 bolt of the largest possible diameter for strap mounting.
- Tighten the locknut until bolt end play is eliminated, avoiding over-tightening to prevent drum deformation.
- For straps without a strap anchor, remove the drum bolt, install the strap, and reassemble the drum. Torque the drum locknut to 9-10 ft-lbs for single-speed winches and 24 ft-lbs for two-speed winches.
- Steel Cable:
- Pass the cable from the inside of the drum through a dimpled hole in the outer plate.
- Loop the cable around the drum bearing and under itself, leaving 1” of cable extending past the clamp.
- Tighten clamp nuts to approximately 2 ft-lbs.
Operation:
- Letting Out Line/Load:
- Firmly grip the handle and disengage the ratchet pawl.
- Slowly let out the line, ensuring the ratchet pawl engages when paused.
- Taking In Line/Load:
- Engage the ratchet pawl in the forward/loading position.
- Turn the handle to wind the line properly onto the drum.
- Using Optional Hand Brake:
- Apply the brake to control the load by pressing down on the hand brake lever.
Maintenance:
- Inspect the rope, strap, or cable for damage and replace if necessary.
- Apply a few drops of #30 weight engine oil to bushings and ratchet pawl pivot points.
- Maintain a thin layer of grease on gear teeth.
Safety Notes:
- Never exceed the rated capacity stamped on the winch.
- Always maintain a minimum of three wraps of line on the drum.
- Inspect the cable or strap before use, replacing if worn or damaged.
- Ensure a loud clicking sound from the ratchet when lifting the load.
- This winch is designed for manual operation only.
