PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FA150KGi winches are air powered, planetary geared units designed for only
transporting personnel. FA150KGi winches are supplied with an internal automatic
disc brake and an automatic drum band brake.
Output from the externally mounted piston air motor is transmitted through a
coupling and shaft to the planetary reduction gear assembly.
The output from the planetary reduction gear assembly is connected to the wire
rope drum through the output shaft. The disc brake attaches to the inboard upright
at motor end and is connected to the input sun gear through brake shaft.
The disc brake is automatically applied when winch is in neutral or operated in the
haul-in direction; disengaged when winch is operated in the payout direction.
During winch operation a sprag type clutch in the disc brake allows drum rotation
in the haul-in direction with disc brake engaged. This ensures brake will respond
quickly to hold the load when winch operation stops. Operation of winch in payout
direction directs pressurized air to brake piston to overcome spring force and release
brake. When payout operation is complete air is vented and brake is automatically
applied.
The drum band brake operates by applying a friction force between the drum band
and winch drum. The automatic drum band brake operation is similar to the disc
brake with the following exceptions: the brake fully disengages in both the haul-in
and payout directions and has no sprag clutch.
This product is in conformity with the most recent European Standards.
Only models with a CE and ATEX marking on the data (name) plate, located on the
product meet these ATEX requirements, refer to Dwg. MHP2645 for ATEX rating.
Refer to the Product Safety and Maintenance Information Manuals for further
explanation.

and testing (i.e. results are typical material properties for these parts).

INSTALLATION
Winch gearbox and disc brake are supplied fully lubricated from factory. Check oil
levels and adjust as necessary before operating winch.

Table 3: Mounting Bolt Hole Dimensions

CAUTION

Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or other

regulations, including American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of
this product before installing or putting product to use.

NOTICE

Care must be taken when moving, positioning or mounting winch. Winch has lifting
lugs bolted to both uprights to assist in moving the unit. Attach hooks or a suitable
sling to these lugs when moving winch. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS section
on page 3 to determine winch weight.
Mount winch so drum axis is horizontal and motor control valve pad is not more
than 15 degrees off top vertical center. If winch is to be mounted in an inverted
position, the motor case must be rotated to position control valve pad at the top
and adequate clearance must be provided for control valve operation. Position
winch to provide unrestricted access to winch control valve. Do not mount winch in
a vertical position, with motor up or down. Reduction gear box lubrication is not
designed for this type of installation.
1. Winch mounting surface must be flat and of sufficient strength to handle rated
load plus the weight of the winch and attached equipment. An inadequate
foundation may cause distortion or twisting of the winch uprights and side rails
resulting in winch damage.
2. Make sure mounting surface is flat to within 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). Shim if necessary.
3. Mounting bolts must be 5/8 inch NC (16 mm) Grade 8 or better. Use self-locking
nuts or nuts with lockwashers. Refer to Table 3 Mounting Bolt Hole
Dimensions on page 4.
4. Tighten mounting bolts evenly. Refer to Torque Chart in Product Maintenance
Information Manual for proper torque values.
5. Maintain a fleet angle between lead sheave and winch of no more than 1-1/2
degrees. The lead sheave must be on a center line with the drum and, for every

CAUTION

Maintain at least 3 tight wraps of wire rope on the drum at all times.
Do not use wire rope as a ground (earth) for welding.
Do not attach a welding electrode to winch or wire rope.
Install wire rope to come off drum for underwound operation (normal
application). Refer to Product Safety Information Manual.

Install winch so wire rope, when at take-off angle limits, does not contact mounting
surface or drum guard panels. Install winch with single part wire rope reeving only.
Refer to Dwg. MHP3149 on page 11. A. Adjust slack arm prior to use, for wire rope
take-off angle.

Wire Rope Selection

Consult a reputable wire rope manufacturer or distributor for assistance in selecting

the appropriate type and size of wire rope and, where necessary, a protective
coating. Use a wire rope which provides an adequate safety factor to handle the
actual working load and meets all applicable industry, trade association, federal,
state and local regulations.
When considering wire rope requirements the actual working load must include not
only the static or dead load but also loads resulting from acceleration, retardation
and shock load. Consideration must also be given to the size of the winch wire rope
drum, sheaves and method of reeving. Wire rope construction must be 10 mm EIPS
6 X 19 IWRC with a minimum breaking strength of 15,690 lbs (69.8 kN) right lay to
assist spooling. Refer to Table 4 Wire Rope Size on page 5.
A minimum of 10:1 wire rope design factor is required with a wire rope to drum
diameter ratio following recommendations of the wire rope manufacturer with a
minimum ratio of 18:1.

Refer to Dwg. MHP2288 on page 11, A. Drum.

Installing Wire Rope

Refer to Dwg. MHP2753 on page 11. A. Dead End of Wire Rope; B. Wire Rope
Anchor.
1. Cut wire rope to length in accordance with wire rope manufacturers
instructions.
2. Feed end of wire rope through drum anchor pocket hole.
3. Forming a loop, wrap loop around anchor, approximately 22 inches (559 mm)
of wire rope. Ensure dead end of wire rope is facing away from the drum flange.
4. Pull wire rope anchor into position in drum anchor pocket.

WARNING

Install wire rope to come off drum in an underwound position. Improper

installation of wire rope can result in failure of disc brake to hold load and
prevent overload device operation.
Do not allow wire rope to come in contact with drum guard panels during
winch operation. Wire rope could become worn and damaged. Adjust drum
guard panels to clear wire rope travel angle. Refer to Drum Guard section
on page 5 and warning label 71459937.

CAUTION

Make sure first wrap of wire rope is tight and lays flush against drum flange.
Ensure correct wire rope anchor is used.

Safe Wire Rope Handling Procedure

-

Always use gloves when handling wire rope.

Never use wire rope that is frayed or kinked.
Never use wire rope as a sling.
Always ensure wire rope is correctly spooled and the first layer is tight against
drum.
Always follow wire rope manufacturers recommendation on use and
maintenance of wire rope.

Air Lines

The inside diameter of the winch air supply lines must not be less than the size shown
in Table 2 General Specifications on page 3. Prior to making final connections, all
air supply lines should be purged with clean, moisture free air or nitrogen before
connecting to winch inlet. Supply lines should be as short and straight as installation
conditions will permit. Long transmission lines and excessive use of fittings, elbows,
tees, globe valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due to restrictions and surface
friction in the lines.

Air Line Lubricator

Always use an air line lubricator with these motors. Lubricator must have an inlet
and outlet at least as large as the inlet on motor.

CAUTION

Lubricator must be located no more than 10 ft (3 m) from the motor.

Shut off air supply before filling air line lubricator.

Air line lubricator should be replenished daily and set to provide 6 to 9 drops per
minute of ISO VG 32 (SAE 10W) oil. A fine mist will be exhausted from the throttle
control valve when the air line lubricator is functioning properly.

Air Line Filter

It is recommended that an air line strainer/filter be installed before the lubricator, to

prevent dirt from entering motor. Strainer/filter should provide 20 micron filtration
and include a moisture trap. Clean strainer/filter periodically to maintain its
operating efficiency.

Air Pressure Regulator

An air pressure regulator is install between lubricator and filter as shown.

Rigging

Rigging Harness (riding belt)

NOTICE

Refer to Dwg. MHP0191 on page 11, A. Air Out; B. Lubricator; C. Regulator; D. Air
In; E. Filter.

NOTICE

The sheave arrangement with fastening to structure shall be dimensioned according

to the same principle as the winch itself. The geometry shall ensure free path for the
person lifted or lowered and ensure no damage to wire rope. The geometry shall
ensure that the angle between wire rope and drum or sheave is within +/- 4 degrees.
The sheave arrangement shall be fitted with protection ensuring that derailing of
wire rope does not occur. The diameter ratio between sheave and wire rope shall
be in accordance with the manufacturers requirements but a minimum 18:1. All
fittings and connectors will have at least the breaking strength of the wire rope. For
the terminations of wire ropes only splices; aluminium pressed ferrules, non-ageing
steel pressed ferrules, or wedge socket anchorages may be used. U-bolt grips shall
not be used as wire rope terminations for load carrying wire ropes.

Recommend that a lockable isolation valve and pressure relief valve set to
110-120 psi (7.6-8.3 bar) be installed in the air supply line as close to the
winch as practical.

Wire Rope Spooling

To compensate for uneven spooling and the decrease in line pull capacity as the
drum fills up, use as short a wire rope as practical. When rewinding apply tension to
the end of the wire rope to eliminate line slack. This helps achieve level winding and
tight spooling.

Harnesses shall be selected in accordance with local or other regulations.

As a minimum, a harness complying to en 361:2002 should be selected and
shall be marked to show its compliance to this standard. The user shall
follow the manufacturers recommendations for proper use, inspection and
disposal. Also, refer to Safety Product Information Manual before
operation.

Do not adjust regulator for a CE marked product, these are preset at factory.
Adjustment of regulator will effect overload settings and product may no
longer conform to CE regulations.
Not all products are CE approved, refer to products data (name) plate to
see if this applies.

Moisture in Air Lines

Moisture that reaches the air motor through air supply lines is a primary factor in
determining the length of time between service overhauls. Moisture traps can help
to eliminate moisture. Other methods, such as an air receiver which collects moisture
before it reaches the motor, or an aftercooler at the compressor that cools the air to
condense and collect moisture prior to distribution through the supply lines are also
helpful.

Mufflers

Ensure mufflers are installed in exhaust ports of control valve and motor. Check
mufflers periodically to ensure they are functioning correctly.

n Drum Guard
A drum guard is standard on all MR and MR-CE winches.
Refer to the Product Parts Information Manual.
Drum guard panels must be adjusted to suit wire rope departure angle. To reposition
drum guard panels remove nuts and slide out crossbar. Position panels to avoid wire
rope contact and install crossbar and nuts.

WARNING

n Air Supply
Air supply must be clean, free from moisture and lubricated to ensure optimum
motor performance. Foreign particles, moisture and lack of lubrication are primary
causes of premature motor wear and breakdown. Using an air filter, lubricator and
moisture separator will improve overall winch performance and reduce
unscheduled downtime.
Air consumption is 62 scfm (1.75 cu.m/min) at rated operating pressure of 90 psig
(6.3 bar/630 kPa) at Emergency Stop Valve 1/2 inch NPT inlet. Exceeding 90 psi (6.3
bar/630 kPa) may cause inadvertent activation of the overload device. If air supply
varies from what is recommended, winch performance will change.
Install air line lubricator, filter and regulator as close as possible to air inlet on motor.
Lubricator must be located no more than 10 ft (3 m) from motor. Air line accessories
package comes standard, mounted to drum guard panel on opposite side of
operator.

Form MHD56470 Edition 5

Do not allow wire rope to come in contact with drum guard panels during
winch operation. Wire rope could become worn and damaged. Adjust drum
guard panels to clear wire rope travel angle.

n Slack Line Detector

Adjustments
Refer to Dwg. MHP3149 on page 11 and MHP3147.
Prior to initial use adjust slack line as follows:
1. Payout wire rope to the desired position with no slack in wire rope.
2. Loosen capscrew located in center of cam actuator (208).
3. Tighten capscrew once adjustment to slack arm has been made.

n Limit Switch

n Initial Winch Operating Checks

Operate winch in both directions to activate limit switches. Limit switches should
engage at established setting +/- 2 ft (0.7 m), and prevent winch operation until reset
by shifting winch operating direction.

Winches are tested for proper operation prior to leaving the factory. Before the winch
is placed into service the following initial operating checks should be performed.

Program

The employer shall provide and implement a training program for all supervisors
and employees engaged in the operation of raising, lowering or suspending
personnel using proper suspension devises from a winch load line so that they are
familiar with the requirements of the hoisting system and are able to recognize the
associated hazards and take appropriate measures. Records of training programs
shall be maintained.

Planning Meeting

A meeting attended by the winch operator, signal persons, persons to be lifted and
the person in charge of the task to be performed is required to be held to plan and
review the procedures to be followed, including procedures for entering and leaving
the man riding device, the use of safety equipment, signals, and the lift chart
information.

NOTICE

This meeting shall be held prior to the beginning of personnel hoisting

operations at each new work location and thereafter for any new
employees assigned to the operation.

n Winch Controls
A spring loaded, motor-mounted, manual throttle control valve is supplied as a
standard feature on these winches. The throttle control provides operator control
of motor speed and direction of drum rotation.
Operate winch throttle control using smooth, even movements. Do not slam or jerk
throttle controls during operation.

Winch Mounted Air Throttle

Refer to Dwg. MHP2976 on page 13, A. Lift Slider Handle UP to Unlock; B. Haul-In;
C. Payout.
The winch control throttle valve is spring loaded, full flow air and mounts to the
motor rotary housing.

Form MHD56470 Edition 5

To operate control valve, place palm of hand on control knob and wrap fingers
around flange of sliding handle. Squeeze fingers, lifting sliding handle up to unlock
control handle. Shift control handle in desired direction to payout or haul-in wire
rope. As viewed from air motor end, move control throttle handle to the right
(clockwise) to payout wire rope and to the left (counterclockwise) to haul-in wire
rope. Avoid sudden movements of handle to ensure smooth operation of winch.
When released, handle will return to neutral or center position, sliding handle will
drop down to engage and lock control handle in place.

Emergency Stop

Refer to Dwgs. MHP3151 (old style) and MHP3187 on page 12, A. Emergency Stop
Button; B. On Button.
The Emergency Stop button, when activated, will immediately stop all winch
operations. The Emergency Stop button will remain depressed after activation. To
reset Emergency Stop button, twist (rotate) Emergency Stop button clockwise until
button releases and spring returns to its original position. Press ON button.

n Winch Brakes
n

Automatic Disc Brake

The automatic disc brake is spring applied, air released. When the winch is operated
in payout direction, air pressure acting on the piston overcomes spring force and
releases brake. The brake automatically engages when winch operation is returned
from payout direction to neutral. When winch is in neutral or haul-in positions the
brake air is vented and brake springs apply the brake. The springs, acting on the
brake piston, compress brake friction and separator plates and engage brake to
prevent drum rotation in payout direction.

The press roller, positioned between drum flanges, assists proper spooling of wire
rope onto the drum and maintains tight wraps when winch is not in operation.
Ensure wire rope is always trapped between press roller and drum barrel. Press roller
adjustments are not required.

n Limit Switches
Pre-set limit switch settings prevent winch wire rope payout and haul-in by stopping
air flow to the winch motor when a set point has been reached. It is the owners and
operators responsibility to adjust winch operating limits prior to using the winch to
transport personnel. To adjust the limit switch set points refer to the INSTALLATION
section on page 4.

n Stowage Valve (Optional)

Stowage valve is for use in applications where contact with the winch wire rope by
other equipment could occur. In the un-stowed position, the winch will operate as
usual. In the stowed position, the main air supply to the winch is shut off. Main supply
air is ported to the automatic disc brake, which holds the disc brake open. If other
equipment contacts the wire rope, the winch will be able to spool out, allowing wire
rope tension to decrease. A load of approximately 200 lbs (90 kg) is required to cause
the winch to spool out. None of the winch controls are operable in the stowed
position. The valve must be locked in either position to prevent inadvertent change
of valve position.

CAUTION

The cam type sprag clutch assembly allows drum rotation in haul-in direction with
brake plates engaged, but prevents drum from rotating in payout direction.
A minimum air pressure of 60 psi (410 kPa/4.1 bar) is required to release brake.
Disc brake adjustment is not required. If disc brake does not operate properly it must
be disassembled, inspected and repaired.

Automatic Drum Band Brake

The automatic drum band brake is a spring applied, air released, externally mounted
brake which uses an air actuated, spring loaded cylinder to disengage the brake
when the motor is operated in either the haul-in or payout directions. Air pressure
directed to the cylinder overcomes spring force to release brake and allow drum to
rotate. When control valve is placed in neutral position, air in the cylinder is vented
which allows the cylinder spring to engage brake and prevent drum rotation.
Adjustments to cylinder clevis can be made to compensate for normal brake lining
wear. The drum brake must be kept properly adjusted to hold the required load.
Refer to Adjustments in the MAINTENANCE section of Product Maintenance
Information Manual. If brake band cannot be adjusted to hold rated load, the brake
must be disassembled, inspected and repaired.

During normal operation moisture can collect in the motor housing. This
accumulation should be drained regularly. To drain, locate and remove oil level, pipe
plug (121) in bottom of motor housing (118). Any fluid drained should be disposed
of in an environmentally safe manner. Excess moisture in the housing will decrease
bearing life. In addition, freezing moisture can damage motor components.

WARNING
Before operating winch replace any oil drained from motor while removing
any excess moisture. Refer to LUBRICATION on page 9.

CAUTION
Slack line detector and limit switch functions are not operable when
emergency release valve is activated.

Refer to Dwg. MHP3147.

If slack line exists between winch and sheave, slack line detector limit switch valve
stops wire rope payout. When slack wire has been detected, operator must
determine and rectify problem prior to resuming operation.
Slack Line Detector arms may vary in design depending on required take-off angle.
Ensure correct arms are used for desired take-off angle.

WARNING

Operator and signal persons must watch for any conditions that allow slack
wire rope to exist between sheave and lifted person which may not be
sensed by the slack wire detector. If slack wire condition is noticed, all winch
operations must cease until problem is rectified.

11. Return release lever to its stored location once emergency lowering operation
is completed.
12. If there is insufficient weight for Emergency Lowering Device to work refer to
Alternative Measures on page 8.
Three Way Valve (optional lowering procedure):
Refer to Dwg. MHP3143 on page 11, A. Normal Inlet Air Supply; B. Rotate handle
to use in normal condition; C. FRL; D. Emergency Lowering Inlet.
This device allows the person to be moved the shortest way to safety in case of
normal air supply failure. In the event of air supply failure, operate the three way
valve from normal air supply to the emergency inlet. For an emergency power
source, a 50 litre nitrogen bottle can be used.
1. Open the emergency power source. Rotate valve lever towards normal inlet air
supply side.
2. Ensure that downstream pressure is 5 to 7 bar.
3. Operate winch slowly to open brakes for lowering the person the shortest way
to safety.

NOTICE

After each use of emergency lowering device, return the three-way valve
to the main air inlet and check the secondary power source is in proper
working condition and able to fulfil its task.

2. If there is insufficient weight for Emergency Lowering Device to work refer to

Alternative Measures on page 8.

The line used to pull down the Man Riding device must be attached in such
a manner as to NOT pull on the suspended person or tip the Man Riding
device.

2. Alternatively, send additional weight to the suspended person using another

line. This weight must be secure and evenly distributed. Never exceed the
capacity of the winch or man riding device.

CAUTION

Any additional weight should be sent in small, easily handled bundles and
only enough to cause person to lower. When lowering person in this manner
the brake(s) can be used to control lowering by releasing air pressure or
applying the band brake.

INSPECTION
Inspection information is based in part on American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Safety Codes B30.7.

WARNING

All new or repaired equipment should be inspected and tested by

Ingersoll Rand trained Service Technicians to ensure safe operation at rated
specifications before placing equipment in service.
Never use a winch that inspection indicates is damaged.

Frequent and quarterly inspections should be performed on equipment in regular

service. Frequent inspections are visual examinations performed by operators or
Ingersoll Rand trained Inspectors and include observations made during routine
equipment operation. Quarterly inspections are thorough inspections conducted
by Ingersoll Rand trained Service Technicians. ASME B30.7 states inspection
intervals depend upon the nature of the critical components of the equipment and
the severity of usage. Refer to Inspection Classifications chart and Maintenance
Intervals chart in Product Maintenance Information Manual for recommended
maintenance intervals.
Careful inspection on a regular basis will reveal potentially dangerous conditions
while still in the early stages, allowing corrective action to be taken before the
condition becomes dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during operation, must be
reported to designated personnel to ensure corrective action is taken.
A determination as to whether a condition constitutes a safety hazard(s) must be
decided, and the correction of noted safety hazard(s) accomplished and
documented by written report before placing the equipment in service.

Wire Rope Reports

Records should be maintained as part of a long-range wire rope inspection program.

Records should include the condition of wire rope removed from service. Accurate
records will establish a relationship between visual observations noted during
frequent inspections and the actual condition of wire rope as determined by
quarterly inspections.

Complete inspections prior to start of daily tasks. Conduct visual inspections during
regular operation for indications of damage or evidence of malfunction (such as
abnormal noises).
1. Lubricator: Adjust air line lubricator drops [ISO VG 46 (SAE 10W)] per minute to
6 to 9 during winch operation.
2. Motor Oil Level: Check motor oil level. Drain condensate and top off oil level.
3. Surrounding Area: Visually check for winch oil leaks. Do not operate winch if
leaking oil is found. Ensure surrounding area has no slippery surfaces and is
obstruction free.
4. Hoses and Fittings: Visually inspect for damage, air leaks, and loose
connections. Repair all leaks or damage and tighten loose connections prior to
starting daily tasks.
5. Muffler: Visually check for restrictions or external damage. Clear restrictions or
replace if damaged.
6. Wire Rope Anchor: Verify wire rope anchor is securely installed.
7. Guards: Verify wire rope does not contact drum guard during winch operation
and that guards are secure and undamaged.
8. Winch: Visually inspect winch housings, control(s), external brake, siderails,
uprights and drum for damage. Check that all external bolts are in place and
secure. Report damage to supervisor and request additional inspection by an
Ingersoll Rand trained service technician.
9. Mounting: Visually inspect winch mounting bolts. Check bolts are tight,
undamaged and free of corrosion.
10. Winch Operation: Power winch in both directions. Winch must operate
smoothly without sticking, binding or abnormal noises and have minimal
vibration.
11. Control Valve: Check operation is smooth and winch is responsive to control
device movement. Lever must return to neutral and lock in place when released.
If winch responds slowly or control sticks, do not operate until problems are
corrected. Winch is to operate without hesitation in either payout and haul-in
direction.
12. Wire Rope Spooling: Visually check reeving and ensure wire rope feeds on and
off the drum smoothly. Verify spooling direction is correct for winch and
application.
13. Brakes: Lift and lower the load a short distance to test brakes. Brakes must hold
load without slipping. Automatic brake must release when winch control
throttle is operated. If brakes do not hold load or do not release properly, they
must be adjusted or repaired.

n Frequent Inspection
On equipment in continuous service, a Daily Inspection should be made by the
operator at the beginning of each shift and a Quarterly Inspection should be
conducted by an Ingersoll Rand trained Inspector every 90 days and a record of the
inspection maintained.

Daily Inspection

WARNING

Worn or improperly functioning brakes may cause excessive heat buildup

and sparks.

Form MHD56470 Edition 5

14. Wire Rope: Visually inspect all wire rope expected to be in use during the days
operations. Inspect for wear and damage indicated by distortion of wire rope
such as kinking, birdcaging, core protrusion, main strand displacement,
corrosion, broken or cut strands. If damage is evident, do not operate winch until
the discrepancies have been reviewed and inspected further by personnel
knowledgeable on wire rope safety and maintenance procedures.

NOTICE

The full extent of wire rope wear cannot be determined by visual inspection.
At any indication of wear inspect wire rope in accordance with instructions
in Quarterly Inspection. Refer to Product Maintenance Information
Manual.

15. Limit Switches: Ensure limit switches engage and prevent operation at the
required set point and with drum rotating in the correct direction. Ensure limit
switch properly resets.
16. Emergency Stop Valve: Activate emergency stop in payout and haul-in
directions to ensure proper operation. Valve must stop winch operation and
brake must set quickly. Reset valve after test.
17. Slack Line Detection: Operate winch in payout direction until slack line valve
actuates. Ensure winch stops running in lowering direction, but can still lift load.
18. Press Roller: Ensure wire rope is positioned between press roller and drum
barrel and springs keep press roller in tight contact with wire rope. Ensure
smooth and proper operation.
19. Motor: During operation check motor housing for excess heat build up. Housing
should not be hot to touch. Listen for grinding or knocking noises. If excess heat
or noises are noted, do not operate until inspected by an Ingersoll Rand trained
service technician.

Do not use synthetic or detergent lubricants in air motor. Synthetic

lubricants will result in oil blowing by piston rings.

The oil level in the motor should be checked daily or at the start of each shift after
accumulated water has been drained off. To drain, locate and remove oil level, pipe
plug (121) in bottom of motor housing (118). Any fluid drained should be disposed
of in an environmentally safe manner.
Correct lubrication is one of the most important factors in maintaining efficient
winch operation. The motor is splash lubricated by the oil in the motor housing and
has no other means of lubrication. It is therefore important to use only high quality,
Extreme Pressure (EP) rust and oxidation inhibiting gear oils or non-detergent motor
oils to ensure maximum performance and minimum downtime for repairs.

Add oil through filler opening until oil flows from level plug hole. Add oil slowly to
prevent spilling. Refer to Table 9 Motor Oil Capacity on page 10. Allow oil to settle
before topping off.
When motors are operated in temperatures below freezing, wait long enough at
end of shift for water to separate from oil but not long enough for it to freeze. Failure
to drain the water when the winch is to remain idle for a protracted period at low
temperatures may result in the oil splasher freezing fast. Drain the water then refill
to the level plug. If desired, all the oil may be drained at the end of the shift and the
motor refilled with new oil.

n Reduction Gear and Disc Brake Lubrication

Refer to Dwg. MHP2297 on page 13, A. Fill Plug Position; B. Inboard Upright; C.
Drain Plug; D. Drum; E. Reduction Gear Assembly.

CAUTION

Do not over fill. Excess oil will reduce operating efficiency and increase oil
temperature.
Only use synthetic lubricant in reduction gear and disc brake.

The reduction gear and disc brake are filled with oil from the factory. Check oil level
before initial winch operation.
Reduction gear and disc brake components are splash lubricated by oil in the
housings and have no other means of lubrication. It is therefore important to use
high quality, Extreme Pressure (EP) rust and oxidation inhibited gear oils to ensure
maximum performance and minimum downtime for repairs.
