How to troubleshoot rough operation of Allied Systems W3C Winches?
- Ttroy12Aug 6, 2025
If your Allied Systems Winches operation is rough, it might be due to several reasons. The hydraulic oil could be too cold. To resolve this, put the control lever in the BRAKE-OFF position and run the engine at 1000 rpm to warm the oil to 80°F before operating the winch. Also check if the hydraulic oil level is low and add oil to the correct level if needed. Ensure that you are using the correct grade of oil; if not, drain the old oil and replace it with the approved type. Lastly, verify that the control cables are correctly adjusted and fastened, and that the handle isn't contacting the housing.
