6. Maintenance of the winch
We recommend that the winch be used at least once a month. This will
allow the gear unit to be fully lubricated, so that the winch is always re-
ady for use. It shall also increase its lifespan. For maintenance purposes,
if it is not necessary to use a winch, it is enough to unwind 15m of the
rope using the motor, to disengage the clutch and manually unwind an
additional 5m, then re-engage the clutch and wind the rope using the
motor. This type of operation also allows the motor to be kept ready for
operation. Remember that it is best to wind the rope under a load of
minimum 5% of the winch pulling force.
You should periodically check:
• whether the winch fastening bolts are tight.
• Condition of electrical connections – clean them and tighten the
screws to ensure the best current flow
No other maintenance is required, except for cleaning the winch from
the mud – use a brush and running water – but not a pressure washer. In
case of any problems, please contact your supplier.
Should the winch be used extensively, more frequent maintenance is
necessary. It may be necessary to carry out a full periodic mainte-
nance service. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
WARNING.
The hazards and dangers related to the use of the winch as
described in this manual do not cover all situations that may
arise. Keep in mind that we are not able to equip the winch with
caution and common sense – these are the features that must
come with the user.
Thank you for purchasing our winch.
We wish you a satisfactory and safe operation.
