The oil level plug should always be removed before adding oil to avoid over-filling.
The automatic brake housing should be checked after seventy-five hours of opera-
tion. It should be completely drained and filled with new transmission oil at least
once each year.
Drive and Final Drive Housing
The oil level in these two housings will be the same because of the flow-through
lubrication design.
To check for the proper oil level, remove the oil level plug on the front side of the
final drive housing. The lubricant should be maintained to the height of the oil level
opening. To add oil, remove the oil level plug on the front side of the final drive
housing. Remove the filler plug in the drive housing cover. Add 80W140 oil as
required to the height of the oil level opening.
Always remove the oil level plug before adding oil to prevent overfilling.
Make certain the oil has had sufficient time to equalize between the two housings.
The drive and final drive oil level should be checked every seventy-five hours of
operation. Both should be completely drained and filled with new oil at least once
each year.
Miscellaneous Lubrication
Grease fittings - there are five grease fittings that should be checked every seventy-
five hours of operation, i.e., two on the clutch shaft, one on the hanger bearing and
two on the clutch control.
Grease - grease the drum clutch splines every seventy-five hours of operation.
Engine Oil - apply engine oil to all linkage pivot points every seventy-five hours of
operation.
Apply engine oil to all chain drives every seventy-five hours of operation. The lu-
bricant should be applied on the inside surface of the roller or silent chain by means
of a spray or brush.
Lubricating the wire rope periodically will extend life expectancy. Consult your
local wire rope representative for proper instructions.
PRECAUTIONS THE WINCH WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR, NOR INTENDED TO BE USED
FOR THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE.
It is imperative, and the responsibility of the operating company, to properly in-
struct the winch operator and the crew relative to the safe working capabilities and
operational limitations of the winch, its accessories and especially the winch con-
trols. The operator should never leave his position at the controls while the winch
line is under load or the winch power take off is engaged.
Maintain complete coordination with other members of the crew, giving clear in-
struction by hand signal or radio communication.
Stand clear of loads suspended by the winch line. Do not stand inside of angles
formed by the winch line. As much as possible do not stand where there is the ::
danger of being struck by the wire rope if it should fail or snag. Never place hands
on a moving winch line. Always stand clear of moving winch line. When working
around the winch, wire rope and the tail sheave, do not wear loose fitting clothing
to prevent entanglement in moving parts and possible serious injury.
Operate the winch as smoothly as possible. Sudden jerking pulls can place extreme
loads on equipment causing damage or injury.
