SETTINGS 1. Clutch Proper setting of the clutch ensures optimal pulling force. Clutch is factory set upon winch testing, but it is required to set it again due to wear of the friction coating. Readjustment is not allowed during warranty period! Setting is done so that we mount a dynamometer on the black rope.
4. Drive chain tensioning After a certain period of operation, the drive chain stretches; therefore it must be checked frequently and tensioned, if required. It must be checked every 60 hours of operation. Tensioning is done according to the following procedure (figure 13). First, remove the protective sheet metal of the PTO shaft (pos.
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION Before proceeding with maintenance work, shut down the engine, remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop. There is a grease fitting on the winch, which enables greasing of the upper pulley and guide. The second grease fitting is on the housing of the lower pulley. Greasing is required every 60 hours of operation.
