CAUTIONS
1

Monthly maintenance
4.2.1
Grease the drum bearings and the spindle of the rewind mechanism through the grease nipples.
4.2.2
Lubricate the drive chain sparingly.

Bi annual maintenance
4.3.1
Check that all fasteners are tight.
4.3.2
Check for excessive free movement between the bearings on the frame. If necessary adjust the
position of the support bearing at the opposite end of the drum to the rewind assembly.
4.3.3
Remove the plastic guard and check the alignment of the handwind gear pinion and crown wheel. If
adjustment is required, re-position the handwind spindle bracket and lubricate the gear teeth with
grease. Make sure the nyloc nuts are tightened to at least 53Nm [40lb ft ] and refit the guard.
4.3.4
Check the tension of the drive chain(s) over one complete revolution of the drum. Allow 13mm total
side movement of chain at the midway position. Adjust as required by moving the rewind motor
mounting plate. Lubricate the chain with a suitable lubricant.
