Brake Adjustment
Note: It is highly recommended that any adjustments are carried out by a
qualified technician at an authorised service centre.
Under normal use, the brake mechanism will not require any adjustment. If the
brake fails to hold a load, the brake disc may be worn and require replacement.
When the brake wears to the point that the load begins to slip, the brake can be
adjusted as follows:
1). Loosen the bolt on the brake cover and take out the retaining rings.
2). Insert spacers/washers to maintain the brake spacer to be 2.2 ± 0.25mm.
3). Ensure the clutch base plate is rotated counter-clockwise by 150 – 180 degrees.
Lubrication & Servicing
Servicing and repairs should only be carried out by an authorised dealer.
Unauthorised repairs or servicing will void warranty.
The winch should be used regularly to ensure components are kept in good
working order. At a minimum, it is recommended that the rope is powered out
and then powered back in on a monthly basis by following the correct winching
procedures (Page 10).
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated at the time of
assembly. Under normal conditions, factory lubrication will suffice. If
re-lubrication of the gear box is necessary after repair or disassembly, use Shell
EP2 or equivalent grease. The clutch T-handle can be lubricated regularly with
light oil. Do not lubricate the brake assembly as it will cause the brake to fail.
