TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Periodically check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical
connections. Remove all dirt or corrosion and always keep clean.
2. Do not attempt to disassemble the gear box. Repairs should be done by
the manufacturer or an authorized repair center.
3. The gear box has been lubricated using a high temperature lithium grease
and is sealed at the factory. No internal lubrication is required.
RIGGING
5. Figure 18 illustrate the use of a pulley block to change the direction of the
pull. Mechanical advantage can be obtained by attaching a pulley block to
the nylon sling with a shackle and running the winch rope to the anchor point.

Figure 18
Equipment such as tackle, hooks, snatch blocks, straps, etc.
should be properly sized and rated and should be
inspected periodically for damage that could reduce their
strength.
