Winching
-
Winching involves significant energy consumption. Running the winch too long can cause the motor to overheat and fail. Keep the duration of winch operation as short as possible.
-
Allow the motor to cool between uses to prevent overheating.
-
The winch can be run for up to five minutes without load (spooling rope in or out).
-
The winch should not be run for more than 30-seconds under load. Allow the winch to rest for three minutes between 30-second pulls.
