Oil Level Maintenance 

 

Tulsa Winch recommends that the oil level in the gearbox and brake housing be 
checked and adjusted as part of the pre-use inspection. If the oil level drops frequently 
or oil leakage is detected during an inspection, maintenance should be performed to 
correct any problems. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Gearbox oil level inspection is achieved by removing the oil level inspection plug 

and visually inspecting the oil level. Maximum oil level is to the bottom of the 
threads of the inspection hole. This procedure is explained, in detail, in your Tulsa 
Winch Service Manual. Use only the oil recommended in the Tulsa Winch Service 
Manual for your hoist type. See Fig. 2.2, Oil Level Inspection.
