SETTINGS
1. Clutch
Proper setting of the clutch ensures optimal pulling force. Clutch is factory set upon winch
testing, but it is required to set it again due to wear of the friction coating.
Readjustment is not allowed during warranty period!
Setting is done so that we mount a dynamometer on the black rope. If there is no
dynamometer on disposal, spring scale with appropriate weighing range can also be used.
Once the dynamometer (scale) is mounted, pull the rope with force of 350 N (35 kg) and
follow the handle position (pos. 6, figure 12). In plan view, this handle is shown on figure 12a.
Nut on the main shaft (pos. 9, figure 12) regulates the handle position (pos. 6) as long as the
handle starts moving away from the rest, but no more than 5 mm! If the nut is over-tightened
(pos. 9, figure 12) and it has moved away from the rest for more than 5 mm, the required
axial force on the frictional surface of the clutch was reduced excessively. The winch will not
gain required towing force or the frictional surface of the clutch will be damaged due to
sliding.
2. Preliminary brake
With screw (pos. 10) and wing nut (pos. 11, figure 12) set the preliminary brake. Proper setting
ensures that the wire rope does not automatically or too easily unwinds from the drum. This
could cause too loose winding and damage to the wire rope, if the brake is unburdened or
when unwinding. Preliminary brake is properly set when it is still possible to unwind the rope
without greater effort. If we pull the rope uphill, it is possible to additionally unburden this
brake, so the towing of rope is easier, but it must be returned to its original position
afterwards.
3. Brake
Brake setting is done by a nut (pos. 3, figure 11). Brake handle (pos. 1) is in OFF position (figure
10). Firstly, use a fork wrench to set the nut (pos. 3). Distance between the roller (pos. 4) on
the handle and the nut should be approximately 7 mm. If the brake force is not sufficient,
repeat the procedure and tighten the nut (pos. 3) again to the right. If the brake is set to
excessive force, the unwinding of the rope is made more difficult. Therefore, the nut must be
loosened somewhat to the left.
