MAINTAINNENCE

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.

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.
