OPTIONS COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION: The drum rotation of the standard PULLMASTER Model M12 planetary winch is clockwise for hoisting when looking at the hydraulic motor of the winch. Drum rotation for counterclockwise hoisting direction is available as an option. EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE: PULLMASTER planetary winches can be supplied with an external brake release which permits release of the automatic disc brake from an external pressure source.
SPECIFICATIONS Performance specifications are based on standard hydraulic motor, gear ratio and cable drum with 5/8 inch diameter wire rope. For other cable drums refer to APPENDIX A. For other reductions or motors, refer to supplement inside back cover. Performance specifications for winches supplied with optional motors are provided in attached supplement.

RECOMMENDATIONS HYDRAULIC FLUID: HYDRAULIC PRESSURE RELIEF: The hydraulic circuit for the PULLMASTER planetary The hydraulic fluid selected for use with PULLMASTER winch requires a pressure relief set at the operating planetary winches should be a high grade, petroleum pressure (see SPECIFICATIONS). Usually, a pressure based fluid, with rust, oxidation and wear resistance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DANGER FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WILL RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. The initial installation or mounting of a PULLMASTER planetary winch is critically important for proper operation and performance. If the winch is mounted to an uneven surface, the centre line of the unit can be distorted to a point where the winch will not operate in either direction.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER FAILURE TO FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WILL RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. After the PULLMASTER planetary winch has been installed in accordance with the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, the wire rope can be fastened to the cable drum. IMPORTANT: The ropes, chains, slings, etc.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GENERAL: In most cases, when the hydraulic winch does not perform satisfactorily, the cause of malfunction is found somewhere in the hydraulic circuit. Before the winch is removed from its mounting and disassembled, all of the hydraulic circuit components should be checked for proper function. IMPORTANT: The hydraulic oil volume relates to the line speed or rpm of the winch.
Page 14
TROUBLE SHOOTING CONTINUED PROBABLE CAUSE FAILURE Brake will not hold. Brake plates or divider plates have been damaged by contamination in the hydraulic fluid, or lack of circulation flow in the brake housing. Brake piston is seized in the brake housing because of contamination in the hydraulic fluid.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL: Before attempting disassembly of the PULLMASTER Model M12 planetary winch with freespooling, the following instructions for disassembly and reassembly should be read and understood: It is suggested that all expendable parts, such as O-rings and oil seals, are not reused on reassembly. It is therefore important to have a seal kit (Part No.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED 4) Reassemble primary planet hub assembly. Press sungear stopper item 444, into primary planet hub item 400. Press needle bearing item 423, into primary planet gear item 420. Position thrust washers item 421, on either side of planet gear and press planet pin item 410, into primary planet hub item 400. Retain with circlip item 411. 5) Install primary planet hub onto end of final sungear item 340, inside of cable drum item 500.
Page 20
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Install new, well-greased O-ring item 707, onto motor adaptor pilot. 12) Position motor adaptor, with brake release pressure transfer holes of motor adaptor and brake housing aligned. Tighten 12 capscrews item 821, and lockwashers item 823, one turn at a time to evenly compress springs. 13) Attach base item 550, to winch using 12 capscrews item 551, and 12 lockwashers item 553.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE Winch gear train lubricating oil should be changed after the initial six months or 50 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Lubricating oil should then be changed every 12 months or 500 operating hours, whichever comes first. Hydraulic system fluid should be changed at least once every 12 months. For optimum performance over an extended period of time, the following preventive maintenance service should be done every 12 months or 500 operating hours (whichever comes first): 1) Disconnect all hydraulic hoses and remove the winch from its mounting.
