Wire Rope
Inspect the entire length of wire rope according to the
wire rope manufacturer’s recommendations.
Warm-up Procedures
A warm-up procedure is recommended at each start-up and is
essential at ambient temperatures below +40°F (4°C).
The prime mover should be run at its lowest recommended RPM
with the hydraulic winch control valve in neutral allowing sufficient
time to warm up the system. The winch should then be operated
at low speeds, forward and reverse, several times to prime all
lines with warm hydraulic oil, and to circulate gear lubricant
through the planetary gear sets.
Failure to properly warm up the winch, particularly
under low ambient temperature conditions, may
result in temporary brake slippage due to high back
pressures attempting to release the brake, which
could result in property damage, personal injury or
death.

Recommended Planetary Gear Oil
Field experience, supported by extensive engineering
tests, indicates the use of the proper planetary gear oil is
essential to reliable and safe operation of the winch brake
and obtaining long gear train life.
For simplicity, BRADEN has listed one (1) readily avail-
able product in each temperature range which has been
tested and found to meet our specifications. This is not to
say that other lubricant brands would not perform equally
as well.
If the following lubricant brands are not available in your
area, make certain your lubricant vendor supplies you
with oil that is equivalent to those products listed below.
BRADEN planetary winches are factory filled with Texaco
Meropa 150 or equivalent API GL-2/3 gear oil.
Mounting Bolts
Tighten all winch base mounting bolts to recommended
torque after the first one hundred (100) hours of opera-
tion, then every 1,000 operating hours, or six (6)
months, whichever occurs first.
SHADED AREAS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SEVERE APPLICATIONS
SUCH AS: SUSTAINED FAST DUTY CYCLES OR FREQUENT LIFTING.
