Warn Winch question
I'm owner of Warn M6000 12V winch. It is old for about 1 year and now when I
disengage the drum (freespooling) I need to pull cable really hard to rotate drum. In some cases it is even impossible to freespool cable out, and then the only way is to use remote control. Anybody here knows the trick how to repair it??? -- |
hello i have the same problem with my ransey 8000. YOu have to strip the
gearbox end and clean it all out etc :( even after i did mine it still did not on free spool. IAm going to have to send it back to be fixed :(:(:( "Zenteren" > wrote in message ... > I'm owner of Warn M6000 12V winch.

You might want to contact Warn's tech support dept. and ask them. -- Roger |

That only happens on mine if I put it away messy.
After use, it needs to be unspooled and wrapped back under tension on the drum. If you don't do this, the last use has forced the cable to cut down through the windings on the next row down, this can really jam up the cable and it will start to fray the cable pretty fast if left or used like this.

That is not a problem in my case. I try to pull it on the first row and same
thing happens. One thing I'v noticed that my winch cannot hold the car on steep slopes. I really don't know what it could be the problem. The cone brake is in goode shape and is cleaned from all the stuff that could get into it. -- "Mike Romain" > wrote in message ... > That only happens on mine if I put it away messy. > > After use, it needs to be unspooled and wrapped back under tension on > the drum.
