Thern 2W40 Series

The instructions for installing the wire rope are found in Section 1.4 of the manual. Make sure you install the wire rope correctly and anchor it securely to the drum using the set screw or quick disconnect anchor. You should also wind at least four full wraps of wire rope onto the drum, as these wraps act as anchor wraps and must remain on the drum at all times.

The winch is shipped with Mobilgear 600XP220 lubricant in the gearbox and brake. You should change the oil in the gearbox and brake after the first 40 hours of operation. Make sure you check the oil level before every operation and every 10 hours during operation. You should also change the gearbox and mechanical brake oil at least every 6 months, or whenever it is dirty or contaminated. Remember to apply thread sealant to pipe plugs when reinstalling to prevent oil leaks.

To adjust the brake, you should use a torque wrench with a 1 1/8 socket installed on the input shaft hex. Rotate the torque wrench one complete clockwise revolution of the input shaft and adjust the brake nuts based on the torque reading and the torque setting specified for the winch. You can find the torque adjustment information in Table 2 of the manual. Remember that you should not adjust the brake with the load suspended.
