Q) Why do I
have to send my winch somewhere else for warranty? Why not the dealer I
purchased it from? |
| |
Warn requires
that you send your winch to a factory authorized repair facility because
they have factory trained personnel, as well as service parts in stock
to handle your warranty problems. |

Q) How much

Non-detergent oil. |

| |
Q) How come
your catalog says "Lifetime Warranty" but my dealer says the
motor is only one year? |
| |
The catalog
states the warranty as "Limited Lifetime" not lifetime
warranty and sometimes the two terms get confused. The gear train is
limited lifetime and the electrical components are warranted for one
year, this includes the motor. (NOTE) If you are interested in a copy of
the warranty and what is covered, please call Warn's customer service
department at 1 (800) 543-9276 and any of our representatives would be
happy to send you a copy for the Warn product you are interested in
purchasing. |

| |
Q) What is the
maintenance schedule for my winch? |
| |
Warn recommends
that anytime the winch is submerged or exposed to extreme adverse
conditions the winch should be sent to an authorized service center for
inspection and service. On the M8274 the brake pawl should be greased
annually and checked frequently for freedom of movement. It must move
freely or the brake will not operated properly. |

| |
Q) What is the
stall rating on your winches? |
| |
The winch is
rated on the first layer of cable on the bare drum. The rated pulling
capacity for a winch is the "stall" for that winch. |
| |
|
| |
Q) What is the
duty cycle on your winches? |
| |
Warn winches are
rated for intermittent use. Many factors will effect the duty cycle of a
winch. These factors would include: Battery condition, heat, age of
winch, length of cable off the drum, and the condition of the electrical
system in the vehicle. |
| |
|
| |
Q) What do you
recommend I use to grease my wire rope with? |
| |
Warn uses a high
quality aircraft grade of galvanized wire rope. Therefore, our wire rope
does not require any lubrication from the factory. There are spray
lubricants that can be purchased thru wire rope dealers and can be used
if desired, but they are not required. |
| |
|
| |
Q) I have
heard that there is a new synthetic winch rope made from Kevlar. Are
these ropes better than traditional wire ropes? |
| |
Warn Industries
does not recommend using Kevlar rope on a winch. A Warn winch utilizes a
brake, located inside the wire rope drum, to control the load applied to
the winch. The brake will generate significant heat in the drum, and the
steel wire rope helps disipate this heat. When Kevlar rope is used, it
does not disipate heat, and the retained heat could critically damage
the rope. |
