Winch operators must be trained in the proper, safe operation of the winch. • Cable anchors on Tulsa Winches are not designed to hold the rated load of the winch. You must keep at least five (5) wraps of cable on the drum to insure that the cable doesn’t come loose.
Because of the large number of models we manufacture, we are unable to show parts lists for every model in this booklet. If you want or need parts lists, please write Tulsa Winch, 11135 S. James, Jenks, OK 74037. Or call (918) 298- 8300 or fax us at (918) 298-8367.
2. Tulsa Winch products are not to be used to lift, hoist, or move people. If your application requires moving persons, you must use the proper equipment for the task.
THEORY OF OPERATION 1. The Tulsa Planetary Winches are composed of an input from either a high torque, low speed geroler motor or a high- speed gear or piston motor. Input drives through a multiple disc brake that is spring applied and hydraulically released, and then through planet gear sets to the cable drum.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PROPER FLEET ANGLE Maintaining the proper fleet angle is important to the success of your winching operation, the life of your winch and the life of the cable you are using. The fleet angle can best be described by the following illustration.

WINCH MAINTENANCE A winch, like any other type of machinery, needs periodic maintenance and inspection to maintain its performance capabilities, give lasting value, and insure safe mechanical workings. Good maintenance consists of three steps. 1. A daily inspection to insure that there are no oil leaks present, that all mounting bolts and other fasteners are tight, and that wire rope is in good condition.

Tulsa planetary winches are shipped from factory with SAE 90 EP gear lube in the gearbox and SAE 20-20W motor oil in the brake section. This oil should be satisfactory for operation in ambient temperatures from -10° F to +110° F. If your work calls for operation in temperatures outside this range, contact Tulsa Winch for recommendations.
BRAKE SYSTEM The winch braking system is a multiple disc, spring applied hydraulically released setup that is activated via the port in the brake housing. During pay-in the brake is not released but bypassed through the one-way cam clutch. When the load comes to a stop, the cam clutch locks up and the load is prevented from slipping by the brake.
