INSTALLATION (cont’d)
3.2. STORAGE
LANTEC routinely ships winches with a small amount of vaporizing storage oil
(oxidization inhibitor) in the drive compartments to protect the components during
shipping.
This protection is sufficient for temporary storage indoors of up to 2 weeks prior to
startup.
For storage up to two years indoors or six months outdoors the following must be done:
y If stored outdoors, protect unit from any direct exposure to weather
y Replace vent and any plastic plugs with appropriate metal plugs and O-Rings
y Fill both gear cavities to approximately 25% capacity (5 US gallons total) with:
Shell VSI circulating oil 68 (or equivalent rust inhibiting vaporizing oil)
y Fill Brake completely via the Vent Port ‘Q’ with hydraulic oil
y Fill Brake Piston cavity completely via the Bleed Port with hydraulic oil
y Seal off Motor ports with gasketed steel blanking plates.
Prior to Operation:
y Replace metal plugs with appropriate fittings, including vent
y Drain Gear cavities of rust inhibiting oil and fill with gear oil as per section 3.1
LUBRICATION.
