LUBRICATION
General
Thread lubricant or an antiseize compound use is recommended
for threaded shafts, capscrews and nuts. Unless otherwise stated,
remove old lubricant, clean the part with an acid free solvent
and apply a new coating of lubricant to the part before assembly.
Lubricate grease fittings, chain and wire rope monthly. The
lubrication intervals are based on intermittent operation of the
winch eight hours each day, five days per week. If the winch is
operated almost continuously or more than the eight hours each
day, more frequent lubrication will be required. Also, the
lubrication types are based on operation in an environment
relatively free of dust, moisture, and corrosive fumes. Use only
those lubricants recommended. Other lubricants may affect the
performance of the winch. Approval for the use of other
lubricants must be obtained from your Ingersoll-Rand
distributor. Failure to observe this precaution may result in
damage to the winch and/or its associated components.
Bearings and Pivot Points
Lubricate all grease fittings monthly with 2 or 3 pumps from a
grease gun, or more frequently, depending on severity of
service. Rotate components slowly as grease is applied.
If the winch is disassembled, clean all parts thoroughly and coat
bearings and shafts with clean grease. Use sufficient grease to
provide a good protective coat. For temperatures -20° to 50° F
(-29° to 10° C) use a multipurpose lithium-based EP 1 grease.
For temperatures 30° to 120° F (0° to 49° C) use a multipurpose
lithium-based EP 2 grease.
Drive Chain
Roller chains must be kept clean and free from rust. Excessively
dirty chains should be soaked in a clean acid-free solvent.
Chains must be agitated in the solvent to ensure that all joints
are free from grit and foreign matter. Lubricate roller chain with
Ingersoll-Rand LUBRI-LINK
-

®
or a good quality
automotive motor oil SAE grade 20 or 30. DO NOT USE
GREASE. Oil should be applied liberally with a brush or oil can
at least once every eight hours of operation.
WARNING
• Do not lubricate chain while winch is running. Shut off
power to the winch during all lubrication and maintenance
operations.
Motor
No lubrication required.
Reducer Assembly
The reducer assembly is shipped with the correct grade and
quantity of lubricating oil from the factory. Check oil level
before initial operation. If the winch is used at a normal
frequency replace the oil in the reducer assembly once every
two years. To ensure correct performance, highest efficiency
and long life, it is essential that the lubricating oil be maintained
at the correct level. The oil level can be checked by removing
the oil level plug. The oil level must be even with the bottom of
the threaded hole.

Contact your local distributor or the Ingersoll-Rand office for
information on the use of other oils or temperature ranges.
Wire Rope
Follow the wire rope manufacturer’s instructions. At a
minimum, observe the following guidelines.
1.
Clean with a brush or steam to remove dirt, rock dust or
other foreign material on the surface of the wire rope.
CAUTION
• Do not use an acid-based solvent. Only use cleaning fluids
specified by the wire rope manufacturer.
2. Apply a wire rope lubricant Ingersoll-Rand LUBRI-LINK-
GREEN
®
or SAE 30W oil.
3. Brush, drip or spray lubricant weekly, or more frequently,
depending on severity of service.
