What to do if my Ingersoll-Rand Winches motor runs hot or makes excessive noise during operation?
- M
  Mary BernardAug 25, 2025
  If the motor runs hot or makes excessive noise during operation, consider the following: * Check the oil level in the motor and add oil as required to obtain the proper level if the oil level is low. * Replace the oil with the type recommended in the “LUBRICATION” section in the Product Information Manual and set the lubricator to provide 6 to 9 drops of oil per minute at maximum winch operating capacity if there is improper lubrication. * Drain and refill with recommended oil if there is water in the oil. Operate winch with no load slowly, in both directions. If noise still exists or motor overheats disassemble and repair motor. * Disassemble and repair motor if there is damaged or broken piston or connecting rod.

Why is my Ingersoll-Rand Force 5i running slow?
- G
  George LiAug 26, 2025
  If your Ingersoll-Rand Winches is running slow, it could be due to several factors: * Check fittings, connections, and hoses for correct size and length if there are improper hose or fitting sizes. Replace parts that may cause restricted air flow. Inspect air line filter. * Verify air supply pressure and volume at winch inlet meets the requirements if there is insufficient air supply. Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” section in Product Information Manual. Clean air line filter. * Remove and disassemble motor as described in “MAINTENANCE” on page 6 and inspect all parts and replace all worn or damaged parts if the motor may be damaged. * Refer to brakes in “MAINTENANCE” on page 6 if the brakes are not releasing.

  If the load continues to move when the winch is stopped, here's what you should check: * Check ‘Automatic Band Brake (optional feature)’ on page 6 and brake band lining wear if the brake is slipping. Also, check brake friction disc wear. * Reduce load to within rated capacity if the winch is overloaded. * Check pendant/throttle levers spring return to normal (neutral) position when released if the winch motor controls are sticking.

What to do if my Ingersoll-Rand Force 5i throttle or pendant lever moves but winch does not operate?
- D
  Douglas BryanAug 29, 2025
  If the throttle or pendant lever moves but the winch does not operate, consider the following: * Disassemble and clean the motor and replace any broken or damaged parts if the motor may be damaged. * Ensure air pressure at winch inlet is at least 90 psig (6.3 bar/630 kPa) at rated volume and clean the air line filter if there is insufficient air supply. * Check hose and fitting connections for air leaks. Inspect hose(s) for breaks. Tighten fittings and repair or replace hoses as necessary.

What causes air lines to freeze in Ingersoll-Rand Force 5i Winches?
- S
  Sean ValenzuelaAug 30, 2025
  Air lines freeze due to water in the air supply. Install or drain air system moisture traps, moisture collecting air receivers, and compressor aftercoolers. After corrective action has been taken, disconnect lines at the winch inlet and purge with clean, dry air or nitrogen.

What causes automatic disc brake to fail to release on Ingersoll-Rand Force 5i?
- J
  Jillian MeyersSep 3, 2025
  If the automatic disc brake fails to release, consider the following: * Ensure air pressure at inlet to disc brake is at least 60 psig (3.4 bar/340 kPa) if there is low air supply pressure. * Inspect brake breather. If air escapes from brake breather when attempting to release brake, replace brake seals if there are leaking piston seals. * Check for proper operation of winch controls if there is no release pressure at the brake port. * Apply 60 psig (3.4 bar/340 kPa) to brake release port and check for brake disc movement (brake discs can be viewed through brake breather hole) if there is a sticking brake piston. If brake discs do not move, disassemble and inspect disc brake as described in “MAINTENANCE” on page 6.

What causes automatic band brake cylinder will not release in Ingersoll-Rand Force 5i?
- K
  Karen ClineSep 4, 2025
  If the automatic band brake cylinder will not release, consider the following: * Adjust band brake to maintain correct cylinder stroke if the band brake is out of adjustment. * Replace or repair cylinder if air is noticed escaping from cylinder breather when attempting to release brake, as there might be leaking cylinder seals. * Clean or replace filter if there is a dirty filter in the air supply. * Check dump valve exhaust port. Air should exhaust when control valve handle is in neutral. If no air escapes, replace dump valve if there is a faulty dump valve.

Why is the throttle lever hard to actuate, or lever does not spring return to neutral in Ingersoll-Rand Winches?
- S
  saramorrisonSep 5, 2025
  If the throttle lever is hard to actuate, or the lever does not spring return to neutral, remove and disassemble the control valve and clean control valve parts and check clearance between reverse valve and bushing because the reverse valve might be sticking in the bushing.
