LUBRICATION

The gearbox and drum bearing are
permanently lubricated with a high
performance gear lube. If
relubrication is necessary (after
repair or disassembly) only use Shell
Alvenia EP2 or equivalent.
REPLACING THE WIRE ROPE
Never substitute a heavier or lighter
wire rope. Never use rope made of
any other material other than wire.
Always replace damaged wire
rope with manufacturer's
identical replacement part (See
Replacement Parts list). Pass
attaching end of wire rope through
the fairlead (if equipped) and attach
it to the drum with the retainer
provided with the replacement wire
rope.
It is important that the wire rope be
wound tightly onto the drum. A
good way to do this is to attach the
wire rope hook to a load and winch
it in.
