INSTALLATION (cont’d)
3.1. LUBRICATION
THE WINCH IS SHIPPED WITHOUT LUBRICATING OIL AND
MUST BE FILLED TO THE PROPER LEVEL WITH THE
CORRECT GRADE OF OIL PRIOR TO OPERATION.
CAUTION
NOTE: Small amounts of oil may remain from factory testing procedures.
The pour point of the oil should be lower than the lowest expected starting temperature.
The following table gives the recommended viscosity in relation to ambient temperature:
AGMA 6EP
ISO VG320
320 cSt at 40°C
AGMA 5EP
ISO VG220
220 cSt at 40°C
AGMA 3EP
ISO VG100
100 cSt at 40°C
+10° to +50° C
+50° to +122° F
0 to +30°C
32 to +86°F
-10° to +15° C
+14° to +59° F
Ambient Temperature
Note: cSt is the same as mm
2
/s.
For special conditions consult factory for recommendations.
The recommended working temperature of the sump should be between 50 and
70°C (122 to 158°F).
The intermittent peak temperature of the sump should be no greater than 95°C
(203°F).
The winch gear reduction cavities are filled via the upper most filler plug. Fill with gear
oil until it reaches the filler/level plug. DO NOT OVERFILL as this may cause the gear
reductions to overheat.
Use mineral oils containing EP additives which increase the oil film load carrying
capacity of the oil.
The Winch is supplied with a VENT. It is necessary that the oil sump be vented at the
highest circulating port above the oil level.
