RUNNING-IN, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
RUNNING-IN
IMPORTANT
Ensure your winch has been filled with oil before proceeding.
Fitted to your winch is a precision worm and wheel set.
Extra time spent running-in is well repaid by a more efficient and reliable winch.
Your winch must never be used to pull heavy loads until it has been run-in as below.
1. Run the winch with no load or very light load for 1 - 2 hours.
2. Gradually increase the load up to maximum over a period of 2 or 4 hours (the longer the better). Drain worm box and refill with fresh BP
Energol Hypo 85W/140 Oil.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Periodically check tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove any dirt or corrosion that may have accumulated on the elec-
trical connections.
Repair should be carried out by Authorized Superwinch Repair Centres only. Do not attempt disassembly of the gearbox. Disassembly will void
warranty.
After the first 10 hours of operation : Change worm gearbox oil (See Fig. 13 for location of drainhole and level plug). Check tightness of mount-
ing bolts and electrical connections.
Monthly : Check tightness of all electrical connections and remove any dirt or corrosion that may have accumulated. Check oil level in worm
gearbox. Oil level sould be maintained to the lower edge of the level plug hole with the winch in the upright position as shown in Fig. 13.
After 50 hours of winching or annually : Change worm gearbox oil. Check tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections.
LUBRICATION
The spur and worm gearboxes are self contained and individually lubricated. The spur gearbox is factory filled for life with BPEnergrease FGL
which is suitable for most climates. In extreme climates, (below 13
°
c or above 43
°
c) contact Superwinch for advice.

Note : EP (Extreme Pressure) additives can damage copper based alloys like phosphor bronze used for the worm gear and we do not recom-
mend their use in the worm gearbox. If any doubt exists, consult your lubricant supplier’s technical department.
The drum bearings and splined drum clutch are lubricated with molydisulphide loaded bearing grease.
