Faults – defects:
Wire defect:
If the wire in some way should get damaged, get stuck or have problems rolling on and off,
the winch needs to be opened, so it becomes possible to check if the wire is loose or if it is
bungled up inside.
This can be done the following way:
Disconnect the power.
Loosen the four 5mm hexagonal socket screws, on one of the sides on the winch.
Remove the six 3mm hexagonal socket screws, on one of the middle plates on the winch.
Take off the loose middle plate, to look into the winch.
See the picture to the right.
If the wire is not tight around the wire-wheel, or it is bungled
up inside the wire needs to be unravelled. This is done by
manually unravelling and loosening the wire and pulling it out
of the winch. It can be necessary to remove the other middle
plate to work it out of the winch properly.
If the wire is bended and damaged, it has to be replaced.
Read the next passage
Change wire
.
If the wire is okay it must be rolled on again.
Changing wire:
If the wire is damaged it must be replaced.
First it must be rolled off.
This is done with MODE 8 (Manual run down).
To get inside of the winch read the previous passage
Wire defect
.
The new wire must be put around the wire-wheel.
Form an eye around a thimble using two ferrules and an appropriate swaging
tool. The wire is then put around the centre of the wheel, by pulling the other
end of the wire trough the eye. Tighten the wire around the wheel. Put the free
end of wire trough the slack-detection and the wire guard in the bottom of the
winch and pull it out. Hereafter the wire must be rolled on – See the passage
Applying the wire
. When the wire end is close to the wire guard apply the wire
stop and make an eye for the snap hook as described above. Place the wire stop
over the ferrules.
Roll on the remaining wire at slow speed.
Remember to put back the side cover and tighten the screws.
