MAINTENANCE CHECKS On a daily basis, inspect
the cylinder mounting brackets, bushings, and pins for
wear, tightness and damage. If misalignment or exces-
sive play or wear are detected, replace the defective
pin or bushing. Check the rod eye welds for cracks and
breaks.
Inspect the hydraulic cylinder rods for nicks, dents, and
scoring as part of your WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
check. Also check the cylinders for leaks at the wiper
seals. Repair or replace any damaged components.
MAINTENANCE CHECK Every TWO YEARS OR
4000 HOURS disassemble and inspect the winch
components. These include the gearing, bearings, and
brake friction discs. Refer to the Service Manual for
disassembly procedures.
LUBRICATION Lubrication for the winch is provided
by weepage flow from the drive motor. Oil enters the fi-
nal drive end through the drive shaft tube in the drum.
A drain line on the main drive end cover returns excess
oil to the reservoir.
