How to fix damaged clutch piston on Allied Systems Winches?
To resolve issues with a damaged clutch piston, piston retainer, or O-rings in Allied Systems Winches, check the piston and piston retainer cavity for damage. Always replace both O-rings when the clutch is repaired.
Why Allied Systems Winches will not operate while tracks are turning?
If your Allied Systems Winches will not operate while the tracks are turning, check the accumulator system for proper leakdown time, a leaking accumulator valve, leaks in the accumulator lines, or damaged accumulators. Also, refer to the “Low Oil Pressure” troubleshooting section and inspect the PTO shaft and coupling, clutch shaft bevel ring gear, and PTO shaft pinion gear for wear or damage. Inspect the magnetic suction screen. See the troubleshooting for “Low Forward or Reverse Clutch Pressure” and remove the access cover and place the winch in gear while visually checking the clutch for piston movement to check for inadequate piston travel.
