Lubrication
Gear box:
The gear box is already filled with oil by the manufacturer. The oil must be changed if the wire rope winch is going to
be overhauled. The oil has to be disposed in accordance with the law of environmental protection.
Use oil with a viscosity of 220 mm²/s at 40°C and an operating temperature of - 20°C to + 40°C. The necessary
amount of oil is 0.25l.
