Follow these steps to install the winch rope protector:
- Position the protector on the G link: Start by placing the winch rope protector on the winch shackle (G link). Make sure the holes on the protector align with the holes on the G link. Before proceeding, check that the holes on the G link are clear of any debris or obstructions.
- Fit the pins into the holes: Insert the 4 pins into the corresponding holes on the G link and winch rope protector. Ensure that the pins are properly aligned with the holes.
- Secure the pins with a hammer: Use a hammer to gently pound the pins into the holes. Make sure to apply enough force to securely fasten the pins. Take care not to damage the winch rope protector or the G link in the process.
- Verify the secure fitting: Once all four pins are in place, double-check that they are tightly secured. Give the winch rope protector a gentle tug to ensure it doesn't move or come loose.
