MECHANICAL BRAKE
The mechanical brake generates heat when loads are lowered and the wire cable is powered out. Care must be
taken to avoid overheating the mechanical brake.
Whine or chatter associated with a new mechanical brake is normal and typically disappears with use.
Overheating the mechanical brake may result in permanent damage to, or failure of, the brake. Replace any damaged
brake components before resuming use of the winch.
JACK MAINTENANCE
The following procedures should be performed at least annually.
SIDE-WIND MODELS
•
The internal gearing and bushings of the jack must be kept lubricated. Apply a small amount of automotive
grease to the internal gearing by removing the jack cover, or if equipped, use a needle nose applicator or
standard grease gun on the lubrication point found on the side of the jack near the crank. Rotate the jack
handle to distribute the grease evenly.
•
A lightweight oil must be applied to the handle unit at both sides of the tube.
•
If equipped, the axle bolt and nut assembly of the caster wheel must also be lubricated with the same light
weight oil.
