When I Spooled My New Winch With Wire I Followed The Direction On The Hub,But When I Push The Out Button It RollS In. So Question Is Does It Matter And Does The Winch Have The Same Power In Both Directions? Sorry About Caps not Sure Why My Phone Does this. Thanks Shoe81
 
The wire should be on the bottom of the drum when coming through the fairlead. Yes it matters, you need to correct it. You might have mounted the winch on backwards. The freewheel lever is always on the driver side from what i've seen.
 
Yea I ThoughtIt Was Wrong. Bu The Wire Is Comming Out The Bottom And The Lever Is On The Drivers Side. Going To Look Into It more.
 
and don't forget always run a line in under some kind of load/resistance or you will ball it up on the drum and possible new line after cutting it off the drum.
 
What make and model winch?
