Install the magnetic rods onto the strainer and secure
with the metal band. Lubricate the O-ring and install the
strainer, seal rings, spring and cover back into the
winch.
Refill the winch to the proper level with the recommend-
ed oil. Refer to page 10 for oil recommendations.
OIL CAPACITY:
50B & 70A Std. PTO - 78 qt. (74 L)
50B & 70A Low PTO - 66 qt. (63 L)
The pressure filter is located inside the large RH access
cover. Remove the cover, locate the spin-on filter and
remove the filter element with a filter wrench.
Lubricate the filter seal and adapter threads with
hydraulic oil and install the new filter onto the filter head.
Tighten the filter ½ - ¾ turn by hand after the seal con-
tacts the filter head.
Start the tractor and operate the engine at low idle. BE
SURE the winch has been filled with oil BEFORE start-
ing the engine. Correct any leaks.
The indicator lamp may come on for a short time during
the initial cold start-up, but should go out as the oil
warms up. If the light remains on, possible conditions
are a restricted filter element, the filter sending unit
stuck in the bypass position, or an accidentally ground-
ed sending unit wire.
3.
VENT PLUG
The vent is located on the RH side of the winch next to
the electrical connector. It is very important to keep this
vent clean and unobstructed to limit leakage and winch
seal damage. When changing the winch oil, remove the
vent and thoroughly clean in safety solvent and rein-
stall. Do NOT replace with a solid plug.
4.
WINCH CABLE (WIRE ROPE)
Inspect the entire length of wire rope, and the chokers
and hooks according to the wire rope and rigging man-
ufacturer's recommendations.
5.
MOUNTING FASTENERS
Check/tighten all winch mounting fasteners to recom-
mended torque after the first 100-250 hours of opera-
tion, then every 1000 hours or six months, whichever
occurs first.
6.
WARM-UP PROCEDURE
Start the tractor engine and operate at low idle for five
minutes.
To prevent serious damage to the winch gear train,
do NOT operate the tractor engine while the oil is
drained from the winch.
CAUTION
A warm-up procedure is recommended at each start-
up, and is essential at ambient temperatures below
+40°F (+4°C). Failure to warm the oil and the winch
hydraulic system may result in erratic clutch/brake
operation may result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
