Wire Rope Assembly; Maintenance Lubrication - Uniforest 85MR Instructions For Use Manual

7. Wire rope assembly

First, remove the triangular protective net on the winch column. Then rotate the cover
(pos. 12, figure 11) and rotate the drum in a position, which enables
unscrewing of the bolt (pos. 11)on the drum. Insert the wire rope in the guide of the upper
pulley and direct it through the upper pulley to the rope drum. Insert the rope in the
groove and tighten the bolt (pos. 11, figure 11). Then start to wind according to the
procedure, which applies to towing. Once the entire length of the wire rope is wound,
unwind it again and wind it again strongly according to the procedure, which is
described in the chapter "Wire rope unwinding" to prevent damage to the rope.

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. The PTO shaft needs to be lubricated according to
instructions of the manufacturer. Non-frequent greasing can cause wear of slide elements
and consequentially a defect, which is not subject to warranty terms!
Drive chain must be lubricated every 100 hours of operation. Lubricate it with spray for
lubrication of chains or special grease, which does not melt at high temperatures,
because the grease can come into contact with friction coating of the clutch.
First, remove the cardan shaft protection, which must be fitted back after finishing
lubrication. Clean the chain before lubrication. Do not lubricate the part, where the
grease can reach clutch with application.
If grease comes into contact with friction coating of the clutch due do improper and
excessive lubrication, this would mean a drastic reduction in pulling force and
consequentially it would be required to replace the blades of the clutch, which cannot be
a subject of this warranty!
All other bearings on the winch are of closed type, therefore greasing is not necessary.
