winch use

[dirtyfingernails]

Okay, I've looked at the -10 (to satisfy that tomato guy--hopefully) and I can't find what position the drum lock should be in when NOT using the winch. Should it be engaged (ie no drum movement) or disengaged (drum movement)? Thanks.

No drum movement - you don't want it spooling out while driving down the road.

My winch is strange, (or maybe I am...) anyway, I cannot lock it so that it doesn't spool out somewhat. Maybe something is broken, who knows.

That drum locking device is adjustable. Did you try that?

There are indents in the drum that the lock fits into. It will only lock in those spots.

Wow, ACE is gettin it tonite! There are detents in the drum to make it lock. Try turning it out with the lock engaged to see if it will lock into a spot.

If it does, be sure to take pictures. Wayne
