Spool The Rope

NOTICE
If the winch is equipped with H (High) gearing, H may be used for rapid rope recovery. Do not use H for winching a load. If the winch is not equipped with H, use L and follow procedures outlined.
WARNING
Always use winch strap to handle rope. Keep hands clear of hook and fairlead when spooling rope.

  • If the rope became stacked during winching, unspool the stacked portion before respooling.

  • If the rope became pinched or wedged into lower rope layers during winching, unspool the pinched or wedged portion before respooling.

  • Spool the rope so it winds evenly across the drum. Keep hands away from fairlead and spool.

  • When spooling the rope, walk the rope in while holding by the winch strap. Do not let the rope run through a person’s hands. Guide the rope using light tension. A second person is recommended when spooling and unspooling rope.

  • Store the hook under light tension at the fairlead, or connect to a suitable location on the vehicle.
