INSPECT THE WINCH, HOOKS, ROPE GRABBING SYSTEM, ROPE AND
POLYESTER SLING TO DETECT ANY DAMAGE OR SIGNS OF WEAR BEFORE AND AFTER
EACH USE.
Periodically, remove the capstan drum (section 2.2) and clean around the shaft (figure 1).
Accumulated debris can damage the shaft seal. Apply a bit of oil on the shaft to prevent
corrosion.
4.2 Lubrication
The rope entry pulley (figure 1, no 1) must turn freely. Lubricate it regularly with light oil. Dirt and
grime lodged between the pulley and the shaft may prevent it from turning freely. If required,
disassemble it to clean the shaft. Use an 8 mm hex key.
The gearbox is lubricated at the factory and
SHOULD NOT require additional lubrication or
maintenance. If there is appearance of a leak,
check oil level by placing the winch on a level
surface and remove the oil plug (figure 1,
no.2).
Lean it toward you; some oil should leak out of
the hole. If needed, you can add type
SAE80W90EP gear box oil.
4.3 AC Electric motor
Follow the instructions found in the fact sheet of the Baldor electric motor to maintain it properly.
4.4 Storage
Always store your PCT1800 AC Electric Portable Capstan Pulling/Lifting Winch
TM seated on its
