It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the clutch
housing end, the cable drum and the gear housing end) are properly aligned.
All standard model 400/H-400 Series Winches are furnished with recommended mounting angles.
Angle size is 3/8 x 2-l/2 x 3 x 36" Lg. high strength (36,000 PSI min. yield) steel angle.
CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable,
opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Insert the end of cable, opposite hook end, into the l/2" dia. hole in drum barrel. Secure cable to
drum barrel, using setscrew furnished with winch. TIGHTEN SETSCREW SECURELY.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in'' direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the cable
onto the cable drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
ADJUSTING THE OIL COOLED WORM BRAKE
The oil-cooled, fully adjustable, automatic safety brake operates in the worm housing lubricant, all
parts being submerged in oil. When the brake wears to the point that the load begins to drift, the
brake can be adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw.
2. Tighten the brake by turning the adjusting screw clockwise. CAUTION: Only 1/4 turn is usu-
ally required to adjust the brake. Over-tightening can cause over heating, and damage to the
brake parts. Tighten the lock nut after adjustment is completed.
If the brake does not respond to adjustment then a new leaf spring and brake disc is needed.
A torque wrench can be equipped with a special adapter to fi t the input shaft (worm) of the winch.
The adapter can be made by welding a nut to the end of a piece of tubing as shown in the following
fi gure.
