8. Clean all parts in benzine. Remember to clean the gear teeth and roller bearing track.
9. Assemble in reverse order. During assemble, lightly grease all gear teeth, drive shaft, roller
bearing, shafts, balls, pawls, springs and bushings. Use a small, soft brush. Pawls may be
lubricated with either a very thin film of ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE. It is very important
that pawls can move freely.
IMPORTANT:
When assembling the winch, check the functioning of each pawl by pushing
the pawl against the spring. The pawls should move smoothly and automatically return to
their normal position, where the pawls engage with the teeth. If the pawls do not function
correctly, clean and lubricate the pawls and gears. Check the function of the pawls again to
make sure that it works correctly. If the pawls do not work correctly replace the springs and
recheck the functioning.
Malfunctioning pawls may lead to unexpected release of the winch force resulting in fatal
injuries to the user and others.

Maintenance instructions for PVD coated stainless steel surfaces.
PVD-coated surfaces should be rinsed regularly in fresh water to remove any salt residue, dirt
or other contaminants and dried gently with a soft cloth. To remove grease or other marks, a
mild abrasive free cleaning agent such as spray-on glass cleaning solution may be used. No
caustic detergents or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents should ever be used, as
they may damage the surface.
