DRUM AND BULLGEAR
ASSEMBLY (see drawings on pg. 21 & 23)
1. Install seals (208) into winch case driving them from
the drum area of the case until fl ush with the winch
case.
2. Apply grease to one side of each washer (219) and
install in winch case with the greased side toward the
seal. The grease will help hold the seal in place until
the bearing cups (203) are installed.
3. Install bearing cups (203) on each side of the winch
case.
4. Use a hoist and rigging equipment to lift the drum be-
tween the winch and fairlead assembly into the winch
case and align the bores of the drum and winch case.
5. Loosen the top bolts on the fairlead assembly and
swing the assembly down until the lower holes in the
fairlead are aligned with the winch case. Install the
lower bolts in the fairlead assembly and torque to
specifi cation in torque chart.
6. Pack bull gear bearings (602) and drum bearings
(204) with NLGI #2 EP (extreme pressure) grease with
a Lithium complex base that meets or exceeds NLGI
GC or GC/LB requirements.
7. Use a hydraulic press to install the bearing (204) onto
the bearing sleeve (207). Install a new o-ring (218) on
the bearing sleeve (207).
8 Install bearing (602) into bull gear (601) and install
retaining ring (603) in bull gear (601). Install retain-
ing ring (612) and the second bearing (602) in the bull
gear (601).
9. Install drum shaft (202) into bull gear (601). Slide
bearing (204) onto the drum shaft (202).
10. Use a lifting link in one of the 1/2-“13 tapped hole in the
bull gear. Use rigging to support the drum shaft and
bull gear and install in the winch drum.
11. Install the bearing sleeve (204) with bearing installed
into the winch.
12. Install the bearing locknut (205) on the drum shaft.
Torque to 35 ± lb•ft (47 ± 20 N•m). Loosen the bear-
ing locknut back to the next full indentation. Install the
capscrew (206) to secure the locknut.
13. Install cover (221) with new gasket (225) and using
bolts (222) and lockwashers (223).
14. Pump grease (NLGI #2 EP with a Lithium complex
base) into grease fi tting in cover (221) until it comes
out the small vent hole in the cover.
The winch drum weighs approximately 240 lbs (109 kg).
Ensure rigging for lifting or supporting the drum is prop-
erly rated.
CAUTION
The bull gear (601) and shaft (202) weigh approximate-
ly 125 lbs (57 kg) as a unit. Use proper lifting equip-
ment when installing them in the winch drum.
