9 – Servicing and maintenance
Respect the following instructions, in particular if your winch is used in a large number of different
locations or in a particularly dirty and damp environment:
Remove the bulk of the dirt from the winch.
Always store the winch in a dry, clean place.
9.1 Before starting up
Check:
The electrical connections are in good working order.
The rope is correctly fastened to the drum.
The exterior appearance of the winch.
9.2 When using for the first time
At the start of the installation process, it is recommended that you respect a running-in
period of thirty hours at ¾ of the load. The nominal capacity will be obtained after this
running-in period.
9.3 Periodic servicing
See also chapter 5: Obligatory regulatory checks by the user
Every 50 hours
, check the lubrication.
Every 100 hours,
change the grease.
The reducer is lubricated using RENOLIT CXI 2 (fabricant : FUCHS).
Very important:
In the event of a change in the type of grease, contact our after-sales service.
Winches
Remove the bulk of the dirt from the winch.
Always store the winch in a dry place
Ropes
The ropes must be cleaned and greased regularly using a special grease which penetrates to the
rope core.
Only use appropriate and harmless cleaning products for all the components of the rope, including
the core.
If lubrication is impossible for usage-related reasons, the service life of the rope will be reduced
considerably and increased monitoring of the rope will therefore be necessary.
The ropes must be checked visually every day.
Servicing and maintenance operations on the winch and rope must be carried
out without any load on the winch.
Hooks
Check the hook and its safety latch
If the rope and hook are not supplied by the manufacturer, check that the parts used guarantee a
level of safety corresponding to table §4.4.
Check the fastening points of the reeving on a regular basis.
