plates for any nicks, gouges, or other wear that could damage the rope.
-When winding the rope back onto the drum, ensure that you rotate the winch crank handle clockwise to
retract the line, and that the ratchet mechanism produces a regular clicking sound while cranking (See
Section 7.1.5).
Record findings of any of the above on the Winch Line Inspection Log sheet, remove the winch from
service and make arrangements to have it sent to a factory authorized service center for repair.
8. MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND STORAGE
This winch has been designed to provide many years of trouble free service, and requires little in the way
of routine maintenance.
Any loose fasteners should be tightened, with the winch being sent to a factory authorized service center
for repair if necessary.
Basic cleaning should be performed at least annually (as outlined in Section 8.1) as part of the annual
inspection or more frequently as required when used is under harsh conditions.
Lubrication of the wire rope (if so equipped), snap hook, crank handle knob, and brake pads should be
performed at least annually (as outlined in Section 8.2) as part of the annual inspection, or more frequently
as required to maintain winch performance under harsh conditions.
8.1 Cleaning the Winch
Use a solution of warm water and a mild detergent to clean the exterior surfaces of the winch and the
winch labels. Do not soak or submerge the winch, as internal corrosion or other damage may result. Clean
the cable with a stiff wire brush as required, and lubricate outlined in Section 8.2. Do not use solvents or
other cleaners to clean a wire rope, as this may remove internal lubrication.
8.2 Lubrication
8.2.1 Brake Pad Lubrication
To lubricate the brake pads in the winch, hold the spool from turning and rotate the crank handle
counterclockwise at least 10 revolutions to completely disengage the brake mechanism. While continuing
to rotate the crank handle counterclockwise, spray WD-40 (or other lubricant as approved by Skylotec
GmbH) around where the crank handle hub enters the winch housing.
8.2.2 Wire Rope Lubrication
After cleaning and inspection as instructed in Section 7.2.4, lubricate the wire rope with light oil, and use
a clean cloth to wipe off the excess as you wind it onto the drum.
