balanced and not tip or rotate to one side.

CLEANING THE WINCH

IMPORTANT:

Increase the frequency of

maintenance if the winch is:

• Operated for long periods.

• Used to pull heavy loads.

• Operated in wet, dirty, hot or cold

surroundings.

Clean the winch to remove dirt and help

prevent rust and corrosion.

Clean the winch every three months or

whenever it is dirty.

Wipe all components to remove dirt and

grease.

Leave a light film of oil on all surfaces to

protect them against rust and corrosion.

Ensure no lubricant comes in contact with

the brake pads (mechanism)

Wipe off excess amounts of oil to avoid

accumulation of dirt.

Remove all unnecessary objects from the area

surrounding the winch.

INSPECTING THE WINCH

IMPORTANT:

Keep written records of inspection.

This allows comparison with

comments from previous inspections

so you can see changes in condition or

performance

Inspect the winch to detect signs of damage

or poor operation before they become

hazardous.

DISCARDING THE WINCH

Each winch has a finite design life after which

it shall be discarded. The design life shall be

the lesser period of 7 (seven) years from the

date of commissioning or 8 (eight) years from

the date of purchase.

Inspections

Technical inspections of the Brake Winch from pre-operational to periodic

inspections including major repairs (lubricants, torque specifications) are to be

performed by a vehicle mechanic.
