Series MR winches
First loosen the nut and screw (pos. 2 and pos. 3, figure 12), which are used to tension the
shorter chain. Then use the screw (pos. 5) to start tensioning the longer chain (pos. 6). Turn
the screw to the right, until you reach an appropriate tension of the chain. At the same
time, you must still hold the tightening nut. The chain is correctly tensioned when it can still
oscillate for approx. 3 to 4 mm in the transverse direction. Tighten the retaining screws
(pos. 4) which you have loosened before.
Then you can start tensioning the shorter chain (pos. 8, figure 12). if you have loosened
the two nuts (pos. 7) beforehand, you can start turning the tensioning screw (pos. 3) to the
left. This prevents the gap between both housings. Finally, tighten the lock nut (pos. 2) and
the retaining screws of the upper housing (pos. 7).

5. Wire rope assembly
First, remove the triangular protective net on the winch column. Then rotate the cover
(pos. 12, figure 11) and rotate the drum in a position, which enables unscrewing of the
bolt (pos. 11)on the drum. Insert the wire rope in the guide of the upper pulley and direct
it through the upper pulley to the rope drum. Insert the rope in the groove and tighten the
bolt (pos. 11, figure 11). Then start to wind according to the procedure, which applies to
towing. Once the entire length of the wire rope is wound, unwind it again and wind it
again strongly according to the procedure, which is described in the chapter “Wire rope
unwinding” to prevent damage to the rope.
