4.0 Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
When your work is complete, clean
and dry the winch. Avoid using
solvents for cleaning the plastic
parts. Most of plastic materials can
be damaged by various types of
commercial solvents. Use a clean
cloth to remove any dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
CLEANING, INSPECT THE WINCH, THE HOOKS, THE LINE AND THE
POLYESTER SLING TO DETECT ANY DAMAGE OR SIGNS OF WEAR.
Regularly remove the capstan drum
and clean around the shaft. Any
accumulated debris may damage the
seal. Brush the shaft with a little oil to
avoid corrosion.
4.2 Lubrication
The gearbox is lubricated in the factory and thus should not
require lubrication or maintenance. If oil losses become
apparent, check the oil level by placing the winch on a level
surface and unscrew the cap. Use an 8 mm hexagonal key.
When tipping the winch forwards, a little oil may escape
through the hole. If required, you can add SAE80W90EP
gear oil.

4.3 Charger and battery
4.3.1 Charger
THE BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED. WE
RECOMMEND
FULLY BEFORE THE FIRST USE TO ACHIEVE A MAXIMUM OPERATING
TIME. THIS LITHIUM-ION BATTERY HAS NO MEMORY AND CAN BE
CHARGED AT YOUR DISCRETION.
4.3.1.1 Low-voltage charging:
If the battery has been stored with little charge or with no
charge for a long period, the charger enters restart mode
which takes 20 hours for the battery to be fully charged.
This increases the battery's life. Once fully charged, standard
charging is available next time.
Any discharged battery requires a cooling period which is
mentioned in the battery user manual.
Plug the charger into the mains.
•
•
Insert the battery in the charger.
This is a diagnostic charger. The LED will come on in a
specific order to indicate the battery's current status. This
order is as follows:
Never leave the battery on the charger as soon as it is fully
charged and ready to use.
4.3.1.2 Fault indication.
When the battery is inserted in the charger and the LEDs flash
red, remove the battery from the charger for a minute and
insert it again.
If the LEDs flash green, this means that the battery is
•
charging normally.
If the LEDs still flash red, remove the battery and unplug
•
the charger again.
Wait a minute then plug the charger in again and reinsert the
battery. If the LEDs flash green, this means that the battery is
charging normally.
If the LEDs still flash red, the battery is faulty and must be
•
replaced.
4.3.2 Battery
4.3.2.1 Charge verification.
If the battery does not charge correctly:
•
Check the socket using another device. Make sure that
power is reaching the socket.
•
Check that the charger's contacts are not short-circuited
by debris or foreign objects.
•
If the ambient temperature is unusual, move the charger
and the battery to a place where the temperature is
between 7 ̊ C and 40 ̊ C .
