Periodic lubrication of the
motor drive shaft lip seal:
Lubrication of the motor drive shaft lip seal is
recommended once a year to condition the
lip seal and avoid water ingress. To access the
seal for lubrication, remove the winch, circlip
and drive gear as shown.
Liberally apply a high quality bearing grease
such as Klüber Isoflex® TOPAS NB52.
Andersen Winch Grease may also be used for
annual lubrication.

Periodic replacement of the motor drive shaft lip seal
Replacement of the motor drive shaft lip seal is recommended every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage, in order to avoid
water ingress and ensure a long and trouble-free service life. In practice every 5 years will be sufficient for most users, while
the shorter interval is advisable for winches that see more constant usage or are installed in more exposed installations.
A service kit is provided with your new Compact Motor™ for the first lip seal replacement. It includes step-by-step
instructions for the procedure and all necessary spare parts.
Planetary gearbox and drive shaft inspection & service
