Previous Screen
The service intervals suggested in this manual will optimize component service life. The intervals may be gradually
increased or decreased with experience of a particular lubricant and evaluation of your application.
Check oil level daily or every 10 hours, with the tractor and winch in a level position. Oil must be visible in the upper
half of the sight guage. If a level plug is used in place of the sight guage, the oil level should be at the bottom of the
level plug hole. Add oil as required through the fill plug at the top of the winch case.
Under normal operating conditions, the oil and pressure circuit filter should be changed and suction strainer cleaned
after the first 100-250 service hours. Following this break-in change, the pressure filter should be changed and the
suction strainer cleaned every 500 service hours or 3 months and the winch sump oil should be changed every 1000
service hours or 6 months.
Hot oil may cause injury. Make certain oil has cooled to a safe
temperature before servicing.
To drain oil, place tractor and winch in level position and remove drain plug located on the bottom of the winch case.
Drain oil into a suitable container and recycle or dispose of oil in an environmentally responsible manner. Install plug
securely after oil has been drained. Remove suction strainer cover fasteners and remove cover. Remove suction
strainer from winch case and then remove metal band and magnetic rods from suction strainer. Thoroughly wash
strainer in clean safety solvent and blow dry with compressed air; inspect wire mesh for damage or clogging with
debris. Do not reuse a damaged suction strainer. The pressure filter is located behind the RH access cover. Remove the
cover, locate the spin-on pressure filter and remove the element with a strap wrench. Lubricate the filter gasket and
adapter threads with hydraulic oil and install new filter element onto filter head. Tighten 1/2-3/4 turn after seal ring
makes contact with filter head.
Start tractor and operate engine at low idle. Correct any leaks.
2. Winch Breather
The winch breather, located on the top cover, should be removed and washed in safety solvent when the winch sump
oil is changed. It is very important that the breather be kept clean and unobstructed. Do not replace the breather with a
solid plug.
Inspect entire length of wire rope, chokers and hooks according to wire rope and rigging manufacturers
recommendations.
4. Mounting Fasteners
Check/tighten all winch mounting fasteners to recommended torque after the first 100-250 hours of operation, then
every 1000 service hours or 6 months, whichever occurs first. Torque value is 1200 lb·ft (1610 N·m).
5. Warm-Up Procedure
Start tractor engine and operate at low idle for five minutes. Operate the winch alternately in reel-in and reel-out with
no load to warm the oil.
Recommended Oil
We have published the following specification to help you determine which lubricant is best suited to your application.
Your lubricant supplier should assure you that his product meets this specification. If there is still any doubt as to the
suitability of a lubricant, contact the Paccar Winch Service Department, providing a detailed copy of the product
specifications.
Prevailing Ambient Temperature
20 000 SUS maximum allowed viscosity at cold start-up; requires extended equipment warm-up. 3,500 SUS maximum
allowed viscosity at cold start-up; requires normal equipment warm-up. 60 SUS minimum allowed viscosity at
maximum winch operating temperature assuming ambient plus 80°F (27°C).
Oil must possess high temperature oxidation stability, rust and corrosion protection, good dispersant and detergent
characteristics, anti-wear additives and remain compatible with nitrile base seals.
Specifications
The general purpose torque shown in the chart applies to SAE Grade 5 bolts, studs and standard steel full, thick and
high nuts.
Higher or lower torques for special applications will be specified such as the use of spanner nuts, nuts on shaft ends,
jam nuts and where distortion of parts or gaskets is critical.
Lubricated Torque values based on use of SAE 30wt engine oil applied to threads and face of bolt or nut.
Avoid using thread lubricants as the applied torque may vary by 10-40% depending upon product used.
