MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION Before proceeding with maintenance work, shut down the
engine, remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop.
There is a grease fitting on the winch, which enables greasing of the upper pulley and guide.
The second grease fitting is on the housing of the lower pulley. Greasing is required every 60
hours of operation.
Non-frequent greasing can cause wear of slide elements and consequentially a defect,
which is not subject to warranty terms!
Drive chain must be lubricated every 100 hours of operation. Lubricate it with spray for
lubrication of chains or special grease, which does not melt at high temperatures, because
the grease can come into contact with friction coating of the clutch.
Before lubrication remove protection of PTO shaft (pos. 1, figure 13) and lubricate this spot.
Remove the chain before lubrication. After finishing lubrication, replace the protective sheet.
If grease comes into contact with friction coating of the clutch due do improper and
excessive lubrication, this would mean a drastic reduction in towing force and
consequentially it would be required to replace the blades of the clutch, which cannot be a
subject of this warranty!
All other bearings on the winch are of closed type, therefore greasing is not necessary. PTO
shaft is lubricated according to manufacturer’s instructions.
