Globestock G.Winch, Service Manual

Disassembly & Assessment

1. GENERAL CONDITION

It is important to ensure the winch is safe to handle before work    

commences. Firstly, inspect the condition of the housing and the drum  

ensuring all fasteners are present and secure. 

Any G.Winch units that: 

- Do not pass basic function test. 

- The winch body / frame is out of alignment, bent or damaged. 

- Require stripping down of the winch body. 

Are beyond the scope of this manual. These units should be returned  

to Globestock for repair work to be assessed and completed. The

body alignment is difficult and incorrect alignment may cause a    

release of the  lifted load during use. 

2. INSPECT IDENTITY LABEL

This can be found on the side of the housing. Take note of the wire  

rope length, material and maximum working load. Make sure the  

label is legible and fully attached. If there is any damage the label   

must be replaced. 

3. INSPECT ROPE & KARABINER

To extract the rope, the pawl mechanism must be disengaged and  

held to allow the drum to free spool. This can be clamped into  

place, or the pawl stop can be removed, and the pawl lever pushed  

beyond the return point. 

If the pawl stop is removed, this must be re-fitted before  

 completion. 

Fully extract the wire rope inspecting for: 

Corrosion

Broken Wires

Kinking

Severe Wear

Damaged Fittings
