SERVICING THE DIAMOND SCREW LEVEL WIND
Routine preventive maintenance will greatly extend the life of components of the levelwind system.
It is important to keep the two smooth slide bars clean and rust free. They should be wiped clean and lightly oiled
before and after each use.
The diamond screw should also be cleaned and lightly oiled before and after each use.
There is a grease fitting on the roller assembly carrier that lubricates the pawl riding in the diamond screw. Apply
grease, before each time the winch is used, until a small amount pushes out around the pawl. Use a high quality
type 12-hydroxy stearate lithium based product, which contains an EP additive, such as Moly, and meets or exceeds
an NGLI Grade 2 specification.
There is also a grease fitting for the bearing at the handwheel end of the diamond screw. Apply a small amount of
grease every six (6) months.
First remove the retaining ring from the carrier.
Remove the grease fitting and spacer, the thrust wash-
er, and the pawl. Thoroughly clean and dry the bore in
the carrier. Apply a light coat of grease to the new pawl
and install it into the carrier. Rotate the pawl until it
engages the groove in the diamond screw. Install the
thrust washer against the pawl, the spacer with grease
fitting, then the retaining ring. Apply grease through the
fitting until a small amount is pushed out around the
pawl.
Replacing the Level Wind Carrier Pawl
Servicing the Diamond Screw, Bearings and Slide
Bars
Disengage the diamond screw and use the handwheel
to move the level wind carrier assembly to the end of
the diamond screw, next to the handwheel.
Remove the handwheel by driving out the rollpin on the
back of the handwheel. Remove the six (6) capscrews
and lockwashers holding the cover plate to the bracket
and remove the cover and any shims.
NOTE: Shims are used under this cover to set the end
play of the diamond screw.
Inspect and replace the seal in the cover as required.
Remove the bearing cup, cone and spacer wahser.
