4.1.2.2 Test rope grabbing system.
1)
With the rope grabbing system (brake) engaged: Attach
winch to suitable anchor and attach rope to fixed point at
some distance directly in front of the winch (see below
figure);
2)
Pull rope until rope is under tension and let go of the rope;
3)
Observe that the tension is maintained by the rope
grabbing system.
4)
To release this voltage, follow steps 1 to 7 in section 3.6.2
Lower a load.
4.1.2.3 Test winch anchoring
1)
With the rope grabbing system (brake) disengaged (see
section 3.6.2.3): Test anchor by exerting twice the maximum
pulling force of the winch, using a block attached to a fixed
point and attaching the rope end to the anchor point (see
adjacent figure)
DO NOT ANCHOR THE ROPE BACK TO THE WINCH.
2)
If the anchor is moving or show any sign of potentially
moving, find a new anchor point and perform the test again.
3)
IMPORTANT: Document this initial inspection as the first
Periodic Inspection in the log at the end of this document.
4.2
Daily inspection and test
This has to be performed every day (written records are not necessary):
1)
Inspect rope grabbing
system (see Figure) for
any sign of wear or
loose parts.
2)
PCH1000 and PCH2000:
Check engine oil and
air filter.
3)
Without load, test the
winch
controls
pulling the rope end.
a.
Observe that the throttle is rising to its maximum and the
drum is turning normally;
b.
Listen for abnormal noises;
c.
Release the rope and observe that the throttle is going to
idle by spring return and the drum stops turning when idling.
by
d.
PCT1800: If the winch does not work,
check the power source. Make sure the voltage
and/or the frequency used is correct. Disconnect
the wire from the electrical outlet and remove the lid of the
control box. Make sure there are no unconnected wires,
poorly connected relays or loosened screws. If the unit still
does not work, contact a qualified electrician or your dealer.
PRIOR TO INSPECTING OR REPAIRING THE WINCH, BE
SURE TO DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE.
4)
PCH1000 and PCH2000: Test the operation of the on/off switch.
5)
PCH2000: Test the operation of the emergency STOP switch.
6)
Check that the rope entry pulley (brass pulley) is rotating
freely; if not clean and lubricate. Replace pulley if any flat
spots are present.
7)
Inspect the rope for excessive wear, damage or distortion
(see section 3.1.2 rope inspection and maintenance).
8)
Inspect slings and straps used to anchor the winch for cuts
and abrasion.
9)
If using a new anchor point, test it (see section 4.1.2.3).
4.3
Frequent inspection (every 25 hours of operation)
This has to be performed every 25 hours of operation (written records
are not necessary):
1)
Inspect control mechanism for any sign of wear or loose parts.
2)
PCH1000 and PCH2000: Clean engine air filter. Service more
frequently when operating in dusty areas.
3)
PCH1000 and PCH2000: Change engine oil.
4)
Without load, test the winch controls by pulling the rope end.
a.
Observe that the throttle is rising to its maximum and the drum
is turning normally;
b.
Listen for abnormal noises;
c.
Release the rope and observe that the throttle is going to idle
by spring return and the drum stops turning when idling.
5)
PCH1000 and PCH2000: Test the operation of the on/off switch.
6)
PCH2000: Test the operation of the emergency STOP switch.
7)
Inspect the rope for excessive wear, damage or distortion (see
rope inspection and maintenance section 3.1.2).
8)
Inspect all rope end securement fittings (hooks, shackles,
carabiners, etc.). Look for cracks, shock marks, deformation,
corrosion, pitting, gates functionality, etc. Do not hesitate to
retire part when in doubt.
9)
Inspect all warning and instruction labels for deterioration.
10) Ensure the instruction manual is present and legible.
11) Look for leaks around gearbox. If any found, verify gearbox oil level .
12) Remove capstan drum and clean any debris that may have
accumulated around the shaft and near the oil seal.
some oil on the shaft before re-assembly.
13) When in doubt a qualified person should determine if the
condition requires further repairs or the equipment to be taken
out of service; alternately the equipment should be sent to an
authorized Portable Winch service center for evaluation.
4.4
Periodic inspection (every 100 hours of operation)
4.4.1
Gearbox
1)
Look for leaks. If any found, check gearbox oil level.
2)
Look for any loose screws or bolts, and particularly look at bolt
