General Service Instructions
PERIODIC LUBRICATION OF THE MOTOR OUTPUT SHAFT SEAL
In order to avoid potential sea water intrusion and to increase the lifetime of your Andersen electric
winch motor drive, we recommend re-lubrication of the output gear shaft seal once a year.
Remember: Always shut off power to the winch before commencing any service or maintenance task!
To access the seal for lubrication, it is necessary to remove the winch from the motor for Compact
Electric Above Deck motors (fig.1), or from the stainless steel deck adaptor plate used for motors
fitted below deck (fig.2 and fig.3). On current model winch sizes 46-50-52STE this deck adaptor
plate is an integrated part of the winch base, and you’ll only need to remove the upper winch base
part
as you do for normal winch maintenance.
A high quality bearing grease such as Klüber ISOFLEX TOPAS NB 52 (see details at
http://www.klueber.com/en/product-detail/id/312/) is ideal for lubrication of this seal, although
Andersen Winch Grease is also suitable.
