    OPERATION The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you actually use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting.

  • Page 10 Remove retaining rings (items #39 & 46) with screwdriver. Remove brake parts from end bearing. NOTE POSITION OF O-RINGS AND BACKUP RINGS BEFORE REMOVAL. Examine brake discs (items #4) and stators (items #3) for signs of wear, and replace if necessary. Examine o-rings (items #28 and 29) and backup rings (items #31 and 33) in brake piston (item #5), as well as o- ring (item #30) and backup ring (item #32) in backup brake piston (item #6) for signs of wear.
  • Page 11 Remove tie plates (items #11) from end bearings by unscrewing capscrews (items #15). Slide motor end bearing (item #8) and drum (item #1) from gear housing end bearing. Remove input shaft (item #10) from end bearing. Inspect shaft and and output sun gear (item #7) for damage and replace if necessary.
  • Page 12 Generously apply grease (MOBILITH SHC 007) to teeth of ring gear (item #26), teeth of planet gears in drum (item #1), and to bushing (item #12) in gear housing end bearing. Apply a small amount of grease to base of bushing (item #13) on motor end bearing.
  • Page 13 Set winch with gear housing end down on work surface. Install well-oiled o-rings and backup rings into grooves on outside of brake piston and backup brake piston as shown in cross-section A-A below. Piston, backup piston, brake discs and stators must be clean and free of grease and oil. Insert brake discs (item #4) and stators (item #3) into gear end alternating, with stators first and last.
  • Page 14 Insert springs (item #40) into pockets in back of brake piston. The two empty pockets should be on opposite sides. Install roll pin (item #35) into new motor coupling below bottom of spline teeth. Insert motor coupling (item #23), engaging it with the discs and the input shaft.
