MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
Disengage the P.T.O and turn the
tractor off before you service the
winch, remove the keys so the
tractor cannot be started up acci-
dentally.
LUBRICATION
Do not oil the drive chain, becau-
se the oil will work its way to the
clutch!
The cable drum, main sprocket and snatchblock are
fitted with self lubricating bearings.
Following points require lubrication:
1. Grease the drum clutch parts after every 500
working hours. Always use good quality lubricati-
on grease.
2. Grease the PTO-shaft regularly and aways before use
as shown in figure 15.
3. Grease the drum chain lightly (not with oil) after eve-
ry 50 working hours with spray type, hardening
chain grease. Wipe off the excessive grease.
