Pneumatic
Winches
use
oil
to
prevent
excessive
heat
build
up
and
to
prevent
wear
that
could
cause
sparks.
Oil
levels
must
be
properly
maintained.
Winches
are
supplied
from
the
factory
filled
with
oil.
Always
collect
lubricants
in
suitable
containers
and
dispose
of
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner.
Reduction
Gear
Assembly
Replace
the
oil
in
the
reduction
housing
every
5
years
or
during
Winch
Overhaul.
If
the
winch
is
used
at
a
normal
frequency,
the
oil
in
the
reduction
housing
is
suitable
for
one
year
operation
without
being
changed.
However,
when
the
winch
is
used
at
a
high
frequency,
the
oil
may
need
to
be
changed
more
often.
For
correct
performance,
highest
efficiency
and
long
life,
it
is
essential
that
the
lubricating
oil
be
at
the
correct
level.
The
recommended
grade
of
oil
must
be
used
at
all
times
since
the
use
of
unsuitable
oil
may
result
in
excessive
temperature
rise,
loss
of
efficiency
and
possible
damage
to
the
gears.
Use
only
synthetic
oil,
Motultech
SY150
which
is
VG
150
Grade
or
SAE
85W90
gearbox
oil.
Seals
and
Bearings
If
hoist
is
disassembled,
clean
all
parts
thoroughly
and
coat
bearings
and
seals
with
clean
grease.
Use
sufficient
grease
to
provide
a
good
protective
coat.
Wire
Rope
Follow
the
wire
rope
manufacturer's
instructions.
At
a
minimum,
observe
the
following
guidelines.
1.
Clean
with
a
brush
or
steam
to
remove
dirt,
rock
dust
or
other
foreign
material
on
the
surface
of
the
wire
rope.
