1. Remove circlip (1), using small flat screwdriver.
2. Remove drum (2).
3. Remove the shaft retaining screw (9) and nut (10).
4. Remove the drive shaft (4), using a winch handle.
5. Remove the bearing (7).
6. Clean the drive shaft with white spirits/mineral spirits.
7. Clean all plastic parts in hot soapy water, and dry.
8. Check pawls & springs for wear and replace if necessary. In order to replace the upper
pawls (5) or springs (6), the gliding washer (3) must be removed. The gliding washer is
pressed on to the drive shaft (4). Use a large flat screwdriver to lever it off, taking care not
to damage it.
9. Assemble in reverse order. During assembly, by the use of a small soft brush lightly
grease internal drum teeth, drive shaft, bearing, pawls and springs. Pawls should only be
lubricated with a very thin film of ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE. It is very important that
pawls can move freely*.
10. Check that the winch is functioning correctly:
- The drum should operate smoothly, when turning the drum clockwise by hand.
- The drum must not turn when trying to turn the drum anti clockwise by hand.
- While turning the winch handle clockwise the drum should turn.
- While turning the winch handle anti clockwise the drum should not turn.
*IMPORTANT:
When assembling the winch, check the functioning of each pawl by pushing
the pawl against the spring. The pawls should move smoothly and automatically return to
their normal position, where the pawls engage with the teeth. If the pawls do not function
correctly, clean and lubricate the pawls and gears. Check the function of the pawls again to
make sure that it works correctly. If the pawls do not work correctly
replace the springs and recheck the functioning. Malfunctioning pawls
may lead to unexpected release of the winch force resulting in fatal
injuries to the user and others.
• White spirits/mineral spirits (no solvents).
