That's about it, a spray under the lid of the control box, and regular cleaning of the cable after use. Don't over grease winch.

Give the gearbox an oil change. You need too either take the top off the box and turn it upside down to empty.

Check the wire rope,(yes I read it's a new one)they are supposed to be in most instances lubricated. Generally from the manufacture they have lubricant in the rope from being assembled. as the rope is run over the drum and fairlead or a pully the strands move against one another and in time wear. the oil is to lubricate the strands when they rub aganst one another. Never De-grease a winch rope! the rope manufatures specify the correct oil types. in general they need to the thin enought to penetrate the rope but thick enough not to run off the rope. while checking look make sure all the electrical terminas are clean!

Safe motoring
