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??? -- |

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.
