maintenance
9.1. Winch
1. Periodically check the tightness of the mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove any
dirt or corrosion and ensure the winch is always kept clean.
2. Do not attempt to disassemble the gearbox. Repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer
or an approved repair centre.
3. The gearbox has been lubricated with high-temperature lithium grease and is factory-sealed.
No internal lubrication is required.
9.2. Cable
If the cable is worn or begins to show signs that it might break, it must be replaced before using the
winch.
1. Move the switch to the "DISENGAGE" position.
2. Pull out the full length of the cable. Take note of the manner in which the existing cable is
attached to the drum.
3. Remove the old cable and attach a new cable to the drum. Insert the end of the new cable and
tighten the M8 x 10 screw.
4. Ensure that the new cable is wound around the drum in the same direction as the old one. The
cable must leave the drum from underneath the drum.
5. Move the switch to the “ENGAGE” position.
6. Wind the cable around the drum. The first five turns of steel cable (first 10 for synthetic cable)
should be done carefully so that the cable is wound correctly. Next, the cable should be wound
onto the drum with a load of at least 10% of the rated pulling force.
WARNINGS
Any replacement cable must meet the same specifications
as those recommended by the manufacturer.
