Page 10: Service And Maintenance
Pawls should be inspected, and springs should be replaced every second year. It is important to use only genuine Ronstan or Andersen brand pawls and springs in your winch. - Page 11 RA6452 WITH QUICKTRIM™ 45QT ORBIT WINCH ™ Lift the centre stem [15] including the drive shaft [11] from the base plate [22] to expose the gears. Remove the central gear assembly [25] and set aside. Remove the drive gear [18] and axle pin [24] and set aside. Remove the ratchet gear assembly [21] and set aside.
- Page 12 RA6452 WITH QUICKTRIM™ 45QT ORBIT WINCH ™ 16. Apply a very thin film of Andersen Winch Grease to the pawls. Do not use any other kind of grease for this purpose. Take care to assemble with springs in the correct orientation as shown below. Replace the gear [25.6] and place the spacer over the top of the lower shaft [25.4] so that it rests on top of the gear [25.6]. Malfunctioning pawls may lead to unexpected release of the winch force resulting in serious injury to the user and others.
