FOREWORD The following service instructions have been prepared to provide assembly, disassembly and maintenance infor- mation for the BRADEN Model BP200 series winch. It is suggested that before doing any work on these units, all assembly and disassembly instructions should be read and understood. Some pictures in this manual may show details or attachments that are different from your winch.

BASIC OPERATION DESCRIPTION OF WINCH engaged by spring pressure, and the drum drag brake is not applied. The BRADEN BP200 winch consists of the following BASIC WINCH OPERATION sub-assemblies: The winch is built with a solid hub between the input 1.

WINCH OPERATION The following warnings are basic to safe winch operation. Please read them completely and follow them each time your BP200 winch is operated. CAUTION WARNING CAUTION WARNING A partially engaged drum clutch may “jump out” of Ground personnel must stay in view of the operator engagement causing a sudden loss of load control and clear of the load and winch drum.
CAPSTAN USE Braden has two types of capstans available. One is a quick disconnect bayonet type, the other is a bolt-on style. CAUTION WARNING Before installing a bayonet type capstan, make certain the spring is properly located in the bore. The spring holds the capstan in the lock position on the extension shaft.

TROUBLE SHOOTING CAUTION WARNING If a winch ever exhibits any sign of erratic operation, or load control difficulties (i.e. load creeping or chattering) appropriate troubleshooting tests and repairs should be performed immediately. Continued operation in this manner may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death. REMEDY TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE...

an open circuit. If your winch is air controlled, connect an air source to the freespool pressure port next to the switch. If your winch is hydraulically contrtolled, connect a hydraulic hand pump with an accurate gauge to the pressure port. Apply 90 - 150 psi (621 - 1,030 kPa) of air, or 150 - 250 psi (1,030 - 1,720 kPa) of hydraulic pressure.
SERVICING THE DIAMOND SCREW LEVEL WIND Routine preventive maintenance will greatly extend the life of components of the levelwind system. It is important to keep the two smooth slide bars clean and rust free. They should be wiped clean and lightly oiled before and after each use.
Clean the diamond screw and slide tubes and lightly lubricate their entire lengths. Slide the carrier assembly onto the slide bars and engage the pawl with the dia- mond screw. Lightly lubricate the sealing surfaces of the diamond screw and the handwheel shaft. Install the support bracket onto the winch, being careful not to damage the seal as it engages the diamond screw.

BRAKE CYLINDER SERVICE Disassembly All thread or capscrew Tube or socket Retaining Ring Turn the brake cylinder on end with the large end up. Remove the spiral retaining ring and lift out the brake piston plate. The static brake in the BP200 winch is applied by eight (8) belleville springs.

PLANET CARRIER SERVICE Disassembly NOTE: The illustrations show the output carrier assem- bly. Follow the same steps to service the primary carri- er. The only difference is that the primary planet gears have only one bearing, and no bearing spacer. Use a punch to drive the spirol pins out of the planet gear shafts.
Page 33
Assembly Install the thrust washer into the planet carrier. Insert two bearings and a spacer into a planet gear (one bear- ing and no spacer for the primary carrier gears). Place a thrust washer on each side of the gear and install it in a carrier opening.
ASSEMBLING THE WINCH GEAR TRAIN, BRAKE AND DRUM Before beginning to assemble the winch, all bearings should be cleaned, inspected and replaced as required. All seals should be replaced. Use a good grade non- hardening sealing compound on the outside diameter of seals and a light coat of thread sealing compound or sealing tape on pipe fittings and plugs.

Install a new bearing in the drum closure if replacement is necessary, making certain to press it against the shoulder in the bottom of the bearing bore.
Page 36
Before installing the brake discs and friction discs, check their condition. Both types of discs should be flat and their teeth should not be pointed. The friction discs should have a clearly visible groove pattern in the fric- tion material. Replace discs if necessary. Install the brake cylinder assembly over the primary sun gear, making certain the brake cylinder engages the ring gear adapter teeth.

Measure the brake stack-up as shown. The measure- ment should be a minimum of 0.1875 in. (4.75 mm) from the top of the brake plate spacer to the top of the brake cylinder. If the measurement is less than this, remove Install the motor adapter with eight (8) capscrews and the brake plate spacer and add a steel brake disc to the lockwashers.
