Periodic maintenance should be performed every 6 months
from the date of purchase, as well as after every use of the
winch in difficult terrain (off-road rallies, water, mud).
Periodic maintenance consists in: dismantling, cleaning, re-
placing the grease and replacing worn parts of the winch.
Steel wire rope should be greased periodically using an
appropriate penetrating oil. After the first unwinding the
rope is not covered by the warranty. Check the new rope
before use for any damage.
Also, keep all elements of the winch clean.
If you use the winch in difficult conditions (off-road rallies,
water, mud), if the winch and controller box get wet, dry
them, clean, check the technical condition and preserve.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended to run the winch at least once
per month. Unwind and wind the rope several ti-
mes using winch motor. This allows to keep the
winch elements in good repair. In case of prob-
lems, contact DRAGON WINCH service.
WINCH POWER
See Table 1.0 at the end of the manual.
These values apply to freely running vehicle, without ad-
ditional terrain obstacles.
In some cases, using a larger capacity winch or appropria-
te pulley block may be necessary. The values specify the
maximum pull force of the winch using a single rope, when
winding the first rope layer on the drum.
i
IMPORTANT
The parameters specified in the manual and des-
criptions are maximum parameters, not working
parameters. For your own safety and safety of
others load the winch at 80% maximum.
To select the winch correctly to your needs, con-
tact DRAGON WINCH distributor.
IMPORTANT
i
The pull capacity of the winch is also dependent
on the sloping of the area. Table 1.0 specifies
the maximum values of the weight of the load,
which can be applied to the winch depending on
the ground slope. The values are given in pounds
and kilograms.
