10.MOTOR. During operation check motor housing for excess heat build up. Housing should not be hot to touch. Listen for grinding or knocking noises. Ensure lubricated air supply provides 6 to 9 drops per minute of ISO VG 32 (SAE 10W) oil when winch is operated at rated capacity. Operate winch slowly in both directions to verify operation.

Periodic Inspection

Periodic inspection intervals for winch use under various conditions is listed below:

NORMAL HEAVY SEVERE

yearly semiannually quarterly

Disassembly may be required as a result of frequent inspection findings or in order to properly inspect individual components. Refer to “MAINTENANCE” section on page 26. Maintain written records of periodic inspections to provide an accumulative basis for continuing evaluation. Inspect all items listed in “Frequent Inspection.” Also inspect the following:

1.SIDE RAILS AND UPRIGHTS. Check for deformed, cracked or corroded main components. Replace damaged parts.

2.FASTENERS. Check retainer rings, split pins, capscrews, nuts, and other fasteners on winch, including mounting bolts. Replace if missing or damaged and tighten if loose.

3.DRUM AND SHEAVES. Check for cracks, wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

4.WIRE ROPE. In addition to “Frequent Inspection” requirements, also inspect for the following:

a.Build-up of dirt and corrosion. Clean with steam or a stiff wire brush to remove dirt and corrosion if necessary.

b.Loose or damaged end connection. Replace if loose or damaged.

c.Check wire rope anchor is secure in drum.

d.Verify wire rope diameter. Measure diameter of wire rope from crown-to-crown throughout life of wire rope. Recording of actual diameter should only be done with wire rope under equivalent loading and in same operating section as accomplished during previous inspections. If actual diameter of wire rope has decreased more than 1/64 inch (0.4 mm) a thorough examination of wire rope should be conducted by an experienced inspector to determine suitability of wire rope to remain in service. Refer to Dwg. MHP0056 on page 22.

(Dwg. MHP0056)

5.ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage, distortion, deformation and cleanliness. If external evidence indicates damage, disassemble as required to conduct a detailed inspection. Inspect gears, shafts, bearings, sheaves, springs and covers. Replace worn or damaged parts. Clean, lubricate and reassemble.

6.BRAKES. Individually test brakes installed to ensure proper operation. Brakes must hold a 125% rated load at mid drum without slipping. If indicated by poor operation or visual damage, disassemble and repair brake(s). Check all brake surfaces for wear, deformation or foreign deposits. If brake lining thickness is less than minimum as described in “MAINTENANCE” section replace brakes. Clean and replace components as necessary. Adjustments cannot be made to disc brake. The disc brake must be repaired as described in “MAINTENANCE” section.

7.FOUNDATION OR SUPPORTING STRUCTURE. Check for distortion, wear and continued ability to support winch and rated load. Ensure winch is firmly mounted and that fasteners are in good condition and tight.

8.LABELS AND TAGS. Check for presence and legibility of labels. Replace if damaged or missing.

9.LIMIT SWITCHES (optional feature). Operate winch in both directions to activate limit switches. Limit switches should engage (stop winch operation) at established settings (+/- 2 feet [+/- 0.6 metres]). Reset limit switch by operating winch in opposite direction. Refer to ‘Limit Switch Adjustment’ in “MAINTENANCE” section.

10.DRUM GUARD (optional feature). Verify fasteners are tight and in good condition. Ensure guard is in good condition.

11.EMERGENCY STOP VALVE (optional feature). During winch operation verify emergency shut-off valve operation. Valve must stop winch operation quickly. Valve must reset properly. Refer to ‘Emergency Stop Valve’ in the “OPERATION” section for procedures.

12.OVERLOAD DEVICE (optional feature). Ensure overload device is properly set to stop winch when load exceeds 150% (+/- 25%) of winch rated capacity. If winch does not shut down, contact your distributor or factory for repair information.

Winches Not in Regular Use

1.Equipment which has been idle for a period of one month or more, but less than six months, shall be given an inspection conforming to requirements of “Frequent Inspection” before being placed in service.

2.Equipment which has been idle for a period of over six months shall be given a complete inspection conforming with requirements of “Periodic Inspection” before being place in service.

3.Standby equipment shall be inspected at least semi-annually in accordance with requirements of “Frequent Inspection”.
