b.
Install capscrews (502) and secure housing to upright.
Torque capscrews to 18 ft lbs (24 Nm).
13. Visually verify free spool operation. Refer to ‘Free Spool’
in the “OPERATION” section for instructions. During
operation observe the shaft support (505) to determine
movement.
a.
When in ‘Free Spool Position’ the shaft support
should shift out, towards the end of the housing, as the
handle is rotated.
b.
When in ‘Non-Free Spool Position’ the shaft support
should shift in, towards the upright. The drum may
require slight rotation to correctly align the output
shaft to the upright during shifting.
c.
There should be no indication of sticking or binding
during operation of the free spool.
14. Place gasket (18) and cover (2) onto housing. Align holes
and install capscrews (501) and washers (511). Torque
capscrews to 12-15 ft lbs (16-20 Nm).
Drum Guard Assembly
Optional feature. Refer to Dwg. MHP0658.
1.
Place drum guard (590) on rear (drum brake side)
sideframe (64) with the longer inside tab located under the
sideframe edge and the smaller outside tabs located on top
of the sideframe edge.
2.
Place washers (593) on brackets (591). Install washers in
quantities required to remove any ‘play’ or gap between
drum guard and brackets.
3.
Align brackets (591) on mounting holes in uprights (26)
and (68). Secure in place with capscrews (592).
Testing
Operational Test
Prior to initial use, all new, altered or repaired winches shall be
tested to ensure proper operation.
1.
Check oil level in reduction gear assembly and disc brake is
correct. Top off levels as required before operation as
described in the “LUBRICATION” section.
2.
To initially ‘break in’ new or overhauled motors, operate
winch without load, in both directions, for one hour at 100
- 200 RPM.
3.
Check operation of brakes. Adjust if necessary as described
in the “MAINTENANCE” section.
4.
Check operation of limit switches, locking mechanisms and
all safety devices when equipped.
5.
Check foundation mounting fasteners are secure.
6.
If equipped, install drum guard.
Load Test
Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered
winches shall be load tested by or under the direction of a
person trained in safety and operation of this winch and a
written report furnished confirming the rating of the winch. Test
loads shall not be less than 100% of rated line pull at mid drum
and should not exceed 125% of the rated line pull at mid drum.
To test the winch at 125% of the rated load at mid drum apply
the following load:
FA2A Winch 125% Test Load
5,000 lb. (2,268 kg)
NOTICE
• Testing to more than 125% of rated line pull may be
required to comply with standards and regulations set forth
in areas outside the USA.
