PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
GEAR CASE OIL CHANGE
Change the winch gear case oil after the first 100–250
hours of operation, then every 1,000 hours or six months,
whichever occurs first.
Remove the drain plug located at the bottom of the drum
clutch housing. Drain the oil into a suitable container and
recycle or dispose of the used oil in an environmentally re-
sponsible manner. Contact your local government agency
for information concerning proper disposal. Install the plug
securely after draining the oil. To reduce oil drain time, re-
move the filler/vent plug.
Refill the winch to the sight glass with the recommended
oil. Allow 15 minutes for oil to flow through the gear train
and fill the cable drum cavity before checking the oil level.
Oil capacity: approximately 35 qt. (33 L).
VENT PLUG
The vent plug is installed in the oil filler plug located near
the top of the drum clutch housing. Whenever the oil is
changed, remove the vent plug, clean in safety solvent
and reinstall.
NOTE:
Do not replace the vent plug with a solid plug.
The normal expansion of the gear oil during operation will
cause a build-up of pressure in the gear case, which may
lead to seal leakage.
WINCH CABLE (WIRE ROPE)
Inspect the entire length of wire rope and hook in accor-
dance with the rigging manufacturer’s recommendations.
MOUNTING FASTENERS
Check all winch-mounting fasteners and tighten to recom-
mended torque after the first 100–250 hours of operation,
then every 1,000 operating hours or six months, which-
ever occurs first.
A regular program of preventive maintenance for your
CARCO winch will minimize the need for emergency ser-
vicing and promote long product life and trouble-free ser-
vice.
The service intervals suggested in this manual will opti-
mize component service life. The intervals may be gradu-
ally increased or decreased with experience of a particular
lubricant and evaluation of your application.
GEAR CASE OIL
The winch assembly should be visually inspected for leaks
at the beginning of each workday. If you find oil leaks,
check the gear case oil level. If no leaks are detected, the
oil level may be checked once every 250 hours or monthly.
The oil level plug is located at the horizontal centerline on
the drum clutch housing. Position the tractor on a flat, level
surface and remove the plug. The oil should be at the bot-
tom of the level plug hole.
Add oil as required through the oil filler plug located near
the top of the drum clutch housing. Add oil slowly, because
the oil must pass through the gear train and fill the drum
cavity.
Refer to the recommended oil chart for the proper oil for
your application.
TRACTOR HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR LEVEL
Check the tractor hydraulic oil reservoir level at the sight
glass daily or in accordance with the tractor manufactur-
er’s recommendations. Use the type of hydraulic oil rec-
ommended by the tractor manufacturer.
Change the tractor hydraulic oil and filter every 1,000
hours or in accordance with the tractor manufacturer’s
recommendations.
