MODEL IDENTIFICATION Model numbers and serial numbers are stamped on a nameplate located to the left of the hydraulic motor. Always refer to the model number and serial number when requesting information or service parts. EXPLANATION OF MODEL NUMBER - 080 - 01T - LA - LM MOTOR APPLI- GEAR...
GLOSSARY Brake Valve — A hydraulic counterbalance valve should be connected to the reel-in port of the hydraulic motor. It allows oil to flow freely through the motor in the winching direction. When oil pressure tries to rotate the motor in the reel-out direction, the brake valve blocks the flow of oil out of the motor until the internal static brake is released.
13. Do not weld on any part of the winch without approval etc.) is either lowered to the ground or blocked securely from PACCAR Winch Engineering. before servicing, adjusting, or repairing winch. 14. Use recommended hydraulic oil and gear lubricant.

All winch controls shall be located within easy reach of to the winch whenever the operator leaves his station the operator. The controls shall be installed in such a or releases the winch control lever, should be installed location that the operator is removed from the electrical whenever practical.

FREE-SPOOL CLUTCH INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Visually check that clutch and clutch handle are fully engaged, before operating the winch drum under load. Do not attempt to move the clutch shift handle with a load on the cable. Do not use “cheaters” to extend the shift handle length or other means to apply undue force on the shift handle. A partially engaged drum clutch may jump out of engagement causing a sudden loss of load control which may result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 2. Oil Change 4. Mounting Bolts The gear oil should be changed after the first 100 hours of Retorque winch mounting hardware after the first 100 hours operation, then every 1,000 operating hours or six months, of operation, then every 1,000 operating hours or six months, whichever occurs first.

Field experience, supported by engineering endurance tests, indicates that the use of the proper gear oil and a program of regular preventive maintenance will help provide extended gear-train life and reliable winch brake performance. For this reason, PACCAR Winch has published the following specifications to assist in determining which lubricant is best suited to your application.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following troubleshooting section is provided as a general guide. You may also need to contact the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for additional information.

To do this, lift the motor adapter up, then reach in through the motor adapter bore and hold the brake plates in position using your fingers. Flip the assembly over, and carefully install into the bore of the brake cylinder until the brake disc stack is flush against the spacer plate.
