Driver Controls rope slack. During side pulls, the wire rope tends to stack up at one end of the drum. This stack can become large enough to cause serious damage to the winch. Line up pulls as straight as possible and stop winching if the wire rope comes close to the tie rods or mounting plate. Note: To fix an uneven stack, spool out that section of the rope and reposition it to the opposite end of the drum; this will free up space for continued winching. 15. For vehicle recovery, continue pulling until the vehicle is on stable ground. If the vehicle is able to be driven, the winching operation is complete. 16. Once recovery of the vehicle is complete, be sure to secure the vehicle's brakes and put the transmission in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission). Release tension in the wire rope. 17. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor. 18. Rewind the wire rope. Control the winch at all times and walk the rope in without letting it slide through your hands. 19. Disconnect the remote control from the control box and store it in a clean dry place. Install the cap on the solenoid plug. 13 2008 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Supplement USA (fus)
