LUBRICATION
To ensure continued satisfactory operation of the winch, all points
requiring lubrication must be serviced with correct lubricant at the
proper time interval as indicated for each assembly.
Lubrication intervals recommended in this manual are based on
intermittent operation of winch, eight hours each day, five days per
week. If winch is operated almost continuously or more than eight
hours each day, more frequent lubrication will be required. Also,
lubricant types and change intervals are based on operation in an
environment relatively free of dust, moisture, and corrosive fumes.
Use only those lubricants recommended. Other lubricants may
affect performance of winch. Approval for the use of other
lubricants must be obtained from your
Ingersoll-Rand
distributor.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the
winch and its associated components.
Note:
Intervals are based on winch operation in a normal
environment as described in “INSPECTION” section. In ‘Heavy’
or ‘Severe’ operating conditions adjust lubrication intervals
accordingly.
General Lubrication
1.
Drain and replace oil in the motor, disc brake and reduction
gear after the first 50 hours of initial winch operation.
Thereafter, drain and replace oil according to intervals
recommended.
2.
Always inspect removed oil for evidence of internal damage
or contamination (metal shavings, dirt, water, etc.). If
indications of damage are noted, investigate and correct
before returning winch to service.
3.
After winch operation, allow oil to settle before topping off.
4.
Always collect lubricants in suitable containers and dispose
of in an environmentally safe manner.
Reduction Gear and Disc Brake Lubrication
Refer to Dwg. MHP0501 on page 24.
The reduction gear and disc brake are filled and shipped with oil
from the factory. Check oil level before initial winch operation.
These components are splash lubricated by the oil in the housing
and have no other means of lubrication. It is therefore important to
use high quality Extreme Pressure (EP) rust and oxidation
inhibited gear oils to ensure maximum performance and minimum
down time for repairs. Oil capacity is approximately 3 quarts (2.8
litres). Oil from the reduction gear assembly also provides
lubrication for the disc brake.
On winches equipped with a disc brake, the reduction gear is
vented through the disc brake breather plug.
Recommended Lubricant
* Units are shipped from factory with ISO VG 100 (SAE 3 EP)
lubricant. Reduction Gear capacity is approximately 3 quarts
(2.8 litres).
Recommended Grease
Reduction Gear and Disc Brake Fill and Drain Procedures
Refer to Dwg. MHP0501 on page 24.
To Fill
:
1.
Rotate the winch drum to align the reduction gear plugs to the
fill position. Fill plug position is at top center.
2.
Remove the fill plug on the reduction gear and the level plug
on the disc brake housing. Fill slowly until oil flows from the
disc brake level plug hole.
3.
Reinstall the plugs.
NOTICE
NOTICE
• Depending on ambient temperature it may take several
minutes for oil to flow from the disc brake level plug hole. Wait
10 minutes after oil starts to flow from level plug hole before
reinstalling plug fittings.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Do not over fill. Excess oil will reduce operating efficiency
and increase oil temperature.
The use of unsuitable oil may result in excessive temperature rise,
loss of efficiency and possible damage to the gears. Use only high
quality Extreme Pressure (EP) rust and oxidation inhibiting
lubricant.
To Drain:
1.
Rotate the winch drum to align the reduction gear plugs to the
drain position. Drain plug is located at bottom center.
2.
Remove the reduction gear drain plug and install long pipe
nipple threaded at one end to 3/8-18 NPT. Remove drain vent
plug. Remove the disc brake drain plug.
NOTICE
NOTICE
• Always drain oil into a suitable container and inspect
drained oil for evidence of damage, metal shavings, dirt,
water, etc. Dispose of oil in an environmentally safe manner.
3.
Collect the drained oil and dispose of properly. If replacing
oil, refer to ‘To Fill’ instructions. Reinstall the reduction gear
and disc brake plugs.
INTERVAL
LUBRICATION CHECKS
Start of each
shift

(approximately 6 to 9 drops per minute required
at maximum motor speed).
Check winch motor oil level.
Monthly

fittings.
Inspect and clean or replace air line filter.
Check reduction gear oil level.
Yearly
Drain and refill winch reduction gear oil.
Drain and refill winch motor oil.
