working condition exists if the winch has excessive
wear and/or does not operate smoothly, free of
hesitation and binding.

Carefully lubricate the following areas with
automotive grease:
• Cable drum gear
• Teeth on the pinion gear that mesh with the
cable drum gear
• Threads on the pinion shaft, under the
pinion gear
Note: Do not apply grease to brake friction disk or
ratchet gear.

Carefully lubricate both pivot points on each
ratchet pawl with 30W oil.
Bodily Injury Hazard. Over
lubrication of the ratchet pawl
may result in oil coming in
contact with the surface of the
winch brake leading to an
unsafe working condition. Do
not allow any grease /oil on
the friction disk, pinion plate,
pinion gear or ratchet gear.
