8. Clean all parts in white spirits/mineral spirits including gear teeth.
9. Assemble in reverse order. During assemble, by the use of a small soft brush lightly grease
all gear teeth, drive shaft, roller bearing, shafts, pawls, springs and bushings. Pawls should
only be lubricated with a very thin film of ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE. It is very important
that pawls can move freely.
IMPORTANT:
When assembling the winch, check the functioning of each pawl by pushing
the pawl against the spring. The pawls should move smoothly and automatically return to
their normal position, where the pawls engage with the teeth. If the pawls do not function
correctly, clean and lubricate the pawls and gears. Check the function of the pawls again to
make sure that it works correctly. If the pawls do not work correctly replace the springs and
recheck the functioning.
Malfunctioning pawls may lead to unexpected release of the winch force resulting in fatal
injuries to the user and others.
Service Kit No: 18 (part. no. 710018) contains spare parts for these winches.
Maintenance instructions for PVD coated stainless steel surfaces.
PVD-coated surfaces should be rinsed regularly in fresh water to remove any salt residue, dirt
or other contaminants and dried gently with a soft cloth. To remove grease or other marks, a
mild abrasive free cleaning agent such as spray-on glass cleaning solution may be used. No
caustic detergents or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents should ever be used, as
they may damage the surface.
