GENERAL INFORMATION
Due to the best choice of materials and high precision in manufacturing, we recommend, for
normal use, only to dismantle, clean and lubricate the winch once every second year. Under
extensive use, such as racing, charter or blue water sailing, we recommend to lubricate the
winch once every year.
We strongly recommend always to use ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE, when lubricating your
winch. ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE is a high quality silicone/PTFE grease product.
Most other types of grease, including “marine grease” are not suitable for lubrication of
winches. Non-suitable grease products can cause malfunction, which could result in fatal
injuries for the user and others.
Pawl springs should be replaced every second year. Spare springs and other parts that may
be required are included in the ANDERSEN Service Kit. Please refer to the service instruction
for the Service Kit suitable for the specific winch.
When the winch handle is not in use but the winch is under load, we recommend,
from a safety point of view, to remove the winch handle from the winch.
To ensure the best possible functioning of the winch, we recommend that
the winch is placed in accordance with the line entry (shown below).
