Water Ingress Protection Warranty

CW-12K Winches come with a 5 year Water Ingress Protection Warranty. This warranty covers:

• Mechanical components failure due to water ingress of the electric motor, gearbox and brake mechanism.
• Electrical components failure of the electric motor, wireless receiver unit and electric solenoid unit.

What the Water IP Warranty doesn’t cover:

• The wireless transmitter hand remote control.
• The plug in hand remote control.
• Mounting bolts.
• Battery cables and lugs.

Conditions of maintaining your Water IP Warranty:

There are no conditions on maintaining your IP Warranty. However, we would like you to understand the following information about your winch to get the best out of it in the long term.

The rubber lip seals on the winch rope drum are a wear item, they are subject to exposure to the elements and abrasive materials such as mud, sand, salt, dirt and other environmental contaminants and will wear out with use of your winch.

We recommend you replace the drum lip seals every 12 months or as often as you feel necessary dependent on the use of your winch. These are available for sale from Carbon Winches Australia for $25 inc shipping Aus wide.

This will ensure that your winch maintains its high standard of waterproofing and provides you with years of hassle-free operation.

We highly recommend you download and read the maintenance and first-use guideline document before installing and operating your winch.
