MAINTENANCE
Tulsa Winch worm gear driven winches require regular maintenance to ensure safe
and reliable operation. Regular oil changes with the correct oil for the ambient
temperature conditions and an annual inspection of the wear components are strongly
recommended.
Maintenance Scheduling
The owner is to ensure proper inspection intervals, in compliance with the API RP
2D Section 4, ANSI B30.5, 5-2.3, or ANSI B30.7, 7-2.1, and will review winch usage
categories on a periodic basis. A qualified inspector should perform all maintenance
and inspections.
Oil Maintenance
The oil in the gear section and the brake section should be changed every
1000 hrs
or
6 months
of normal usage. If your winch is mounted with a drum brake, do not fill
brake with oil.
•
Tulsa Winch recommends that the oil level in the gearbox be checked and
adjusted as part of the pre-use inspection. If the oil level drops frequently or oil
leakage is detected during an inspection, maintenance should be performed to
correct any problems.

Gearbox oil level inspection is achieved by removing the oil level inspection plug
and visually inspecting the oil level. Minimum oil level is to the bottom of the
threads of the inspection hole. Refer to the chart below for the recommended oil
type and grade for your application.
All oils must meet MIL-PRF2105E standards. Substitution from a reputable
manufacturer is allowed as long as type and grade are maintained.
