WINCH MOUNTING

ESSENTIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT OF PLANETARY WINCH COMPONENTS:
I
t is most important that this winch be mounted
securely so that the three major sections (the motor
end, the rope drum, and the gear housing end) are
properly aligned. Excessive bushing wear and difficulty
in freespooling are usually symptoms of misalignment.
In the as-installed condition, if the winch is
mid-mounted, then at least one tie-plate must be
attached to the mounting feet at the bottom of the
winch to maintain alignment. If the winch is foot
mounted then at least one tie-plate must remain
mounted at midpoint of winch to maintain alignment. It
is always preferred to used BOTH tie-plates in the final
installed configuration.
When mounting the winch, the mounting hole patterns
described in the Dimensional drawings on pages
11-12 should be used. The mounting surface must be
flat within 0,38 mm (.015 in) and sufficiently stiff to
resist flexing. If a steel plate is used for foot mounting,
it should be 19 mm (.75 in) thick. For this mounting
application eight (8) 1/2-13NC x 1-1/2" long grade 5
capscrews with lockwashers will be needed to mount winch. Capscrews should be tightened to 235 Nm (173 ft-lb) torque.
NOTE: If angles or a steel plate are used in mounting winch, tie-plates provided with winch are to be attached to the remaining mounting
pads, whether they be side or foot.

ROPE INSTALLATION

1. Unwind rope by rolling it out along the ground
to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of
rope, opposite hook, with plastic or similar
tape to prevent fraying.
2. Slide the wire rope through narrow end of the
pocket against the drum flange. Wrap the
wire rope around on the anchor "puck" (item
#20) and pull the wire rope and anchor back
into the wide end of the pocket. Use a soft
hammer to drive the back side of the wire
rope, firmly seating the wire rope and anchor
into the pocket.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in" direction.
Keeping tension on end of rope, spool all the
rope onto the rope drum, taking care to form
neatly wrapped layers.
After installing rope, check freespool
operation. Disengage clutch and pull on rope
at a walking speed. If rope "birdnests",
loosen jam nut (item #22) and turn nylon
setscrew (item #17) clockwise to increase
drag on drum. If rope pull is excessive,
loosen nylon setscrew by turning
counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut when
proper setting is obtained.
CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING OF JAM NUT
MAY STRIP NYLON SETSCREW.
CAUTION: If longer bolts (minimum grade 5) are substituted to mount winch or to
mount a roller guide at the side mount pads, bolt length must be such as to allow
between 12,7mm (.50 in) and 17,5 mm (.68 in) thread length engagement in the
tapped holes in side of each end bearing. Use of excessive length bolts will damage
the winch and prevent freespool of the drum. Torque bolts to 75 Nm (55 ft lb).
