Wrong winding direction.

Also there’s a cool doohickey that pins the line to the drum instead of the damn little screw.

Let me try to find it.

 

Hey James. Sorry for butting in uninvited ....
After flipping it over check if line isn't touching any other spots. There was a guy with red 3rd Gen (Jerry- I forgot his screen name) , his line snapped during installation at Mobtown. So if the line is touching anything else, maybe contact Joe for solutions




Also, you might need a wide mouth hawse ....

 

Or, as they would say in Texas. You might need a wide mouth, Hoss

 

I'll try that, I'm not quite sure how that's going to let it spool to the top, yet.

Glad I'm testing it out like this.

Thanks guys your quick.

 

When you spool the rope, you want to have tension on it. Something like 1000lbs? I dunno, I just dragged someone's truck across a parking lot

 

It's still spooled wrong

 

I'm just doing it by hand for now to make sure everything is right. I'll use tension later.

 

Well yeah, if you reverse the polarity on the motor, yes it will spin the other way

Two wrongs dont make a right.

 

I haven't checked the factory connections but mine are good. It may be designed to come off the bottom.

 

I'd bet money that he wired it right. If he didn't, then when he goes in, then rope would go in. Because it is wired right and the rope is wrong, when he pushes in, it goes out.

 

I think all are... but I cant be 100% on that.

 

But two rights make a “damn it, I did it again.”

 

I'm right so often that I find myself saying that a lot.

 

You're my idol!

 

James - this is a cool way to fasten your line to the drum. The screw really sucks, and it can rub the rope the wrong way.

Tech support said it is designed to spool off the buttom of the drum.

Mark those are JEEPS, we have Toyotas.

 

So like this @Redmann

 

I was looking for a video of this Australian dude spooling his winch. He explained what happens when its spooled the wrong way. I dodnt look hard for it and wanted to get you a video sooner rather than later. Sorry for the jeeps. It'll never happen again. Lol

 

Yes
