Maintenance Tips
-
Lubricate gears & moving parts: Apply a light machine oil periodically to the wormgear and crank components to prevent rust and ensure smooth net tensioning.
-
Inspect cable & hardware: Check the winch cable, hooks, and fasteners before each use for fraying, wear, or looseness; secure any loose hardware promptly.
-
Clean regularly: Wipe down the winch with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and moisture buildup, especially after outdoor use.
-
Avoid over‑tightening: Do not overtighten the net tensioner beyond what’s needed for proper play to reduce stress on the mechanism.
-
Store dry: When not in use for long periods, keep the winch in a dry, covered area to protect against corrosion and extend lifespan.
