Maintenance.
4.1
Cleaning.
When your work is complete, clean and dry the winch. Avoid using
solvents for cleaning the plastic parts. Most of plastic materials can
be damaged by various types of commercial solvents. Use a clean
cloth to remove any dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
DURING CLEANING, INSPECT THE WINCH, THE HOOKS, THE
LINE AND THE POLYESTER SLING TO DETECT ANY DAMAGE
OR SIGNS OF WEAR.
Regularly remove the capstan drum and clean
around the shaft. Any accumulated debris
may damage the seal. Brush the shaft with a
little oil to avoid corrosion.
4.2
Lubrification
The gearbox is lubricated in the factory and thus should not require
lubrication or maintenance. If oil losses become apparent, check the
oil level by placing the winch on a level surface and unscrew the cap.
When tipping the winch forwards, a little oil may escape through the
hole. If required, you can add SAE80W90EP gear oil.

Charger
.
THE BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED. WE RECOMMEND
CHARGING THE BATTERY FULLY BEFORE THE FIRST USE TO
ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM OPERATING TIME. THIS LITHIUM-ION BATTERY HAS NO
MEMORY AND CAN BE CHARGED AT YOUR DISCRETION.
4.3.1.1 Low-voltage charging.
If the battery has been stored with little charge or with no charge for
a long period, the charger enters restart mode which takes 20 hours
for the battery to be fully charged.
This increases the battery's life. Once fully charged, standard
charging is available next time.
Any discharged battery requires a cooling period
which is mentioned in the battery user manual.
●
Plug the charger into the mains.

Insert the battery in the charger.
This is a diagnostic charger. The LED will come on in a specific order
to indicate the battery's current status. This order is as follows:
Never leave the battery on the charger as soon as it is fully charged
and ready to use.
4.3.1.2
