TECHNIQUES OF OPERATION
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you actually use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch, as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature with you.
The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling a load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable pileup on one end of drum. If this happens reverse the winch to relieve the load and move your anchor point further to the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.
When pulling a load where there is even a remote chance of cable failure, place a blanket, jacket or tarpaulin over the cable about six feet behind the hook. This will slow the snap back of a broken cable and could prevent serious injury.
NOTE: The Ramsey level winder is an available accessory for tightly respooling unloaded cable onto the drum.

1. TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH, run the winch in the reverse (reel out) direction until the load is off the
cable. Pull outward on the clutch handle, rotate it counter-clockwise 90° and release. The clutch is now locked out and the cable may be pulled off by hand.
2. TO ENGAGE CLUTCH, pull outward on the handle, rotate it counter-clockwise 90° and release.
Run the winch in reverse until the clutch handle snaps fully in or until the cable drum stops turning. At this point make sure the clutch handle is all the way in. The plastic plug in top of clutch housing may be removed, for inspection of clutch to assure total engagement. After the clutch is fully engaged, the winch is ready for winching in the cable.
WARNINGS
CLUTCH MUST BE TOTALLY ENGAGED BEFORE STARTING THE WINCHING OPERATION. DO NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH UNDER LOAD. DO NOT LEAVE CLUTCH ENGAGED WHEN WINCH IS NOT IN USE. STAY OUT FROM UNDER AND AWAY FROM RAISED LOADS. STAND CLEAR OF CABLE WHILE PULLING. DO NOT TRY TO GUIDE CABLE. DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LINE PULL RATINGS SHOWN IN TABLE. DO NOT USE WINCH TO LIFT, SUPPORT, OR OTHERWISE TRANSPORT PEOPLE. A MINIMUM OF 5 WRAPS OF CABLE AROUND THE DRUM BARREL IS NECESSARY TO HOLD THE LOAD.
CABLE SETSCREW IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD LOAD

WINCH MAINTENANCE
Adhering to the following maintenance schedule will keep your winch in top condition and performing as it should with a minimum of repair.
A. WEEKLY
1. Check the oil level and maintain it to the oil level plug. If oil is leaking out, determine location and
repair.
2. Check the pressure relief plug in top of the gear housing. Be sure that it is in good operating
condition so that hot oil gasses may escape.
3. Lubricate cable with light oil.
B. MONTHLY
1. Lubricate the various grease fittings located in the cable drum, end bearing, clutch housing or clutch
operating linkage. Any good grade of moly-disulfide containing grease is acceptable.
2. Check the action of the sliding clutch, making sure it is fully engaging and disengaging with the cable
drum. Remove the plastic plug in top of the housing and observe if the clutch is fully engaging. If clutch is not fully engaging, inspect clutch shifter assembly parts, check for damage or excessive wear and replace as necessary. Observe the jaws on both the clutch and cable drum, checking for rounding of the driving faces. If rounding has occurred they should be replaced immediately.
3. Check the winch mounting bolts. If any are missing, replace them and securely tighten any that are
loose. Make sure to use only grade 5 bolts or better.
4. Inspect the cable. If the cable has become frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.
C. ANNUALLY
1. Drain the oil from the winch annually or more often if winch is used frequently.
2. Fill the winch to the oil level plug with clean kerosene. Run the winch a few minutes with no load in
the reel in direction. Drain the kerosene from the winch.
3. Refill the winch to the oil level plug with all purpose E.P. 140 gear oil.
4. Inspect frame and surrounding structure for cracks or deformation.
5. Gear wear can be estimated by rocking the drum back and forth and if necessary drain oil and
remove cover for closer inspection.
CABLE INSTALLATION
There are two tapered pockets cast into the drum. One pocket is for installations with the wire rope wound over the drum. The other pocket is for an under-wound wire rope.
When properly used, the wedge pocket design is one of the most secure anchoring methods available.
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite
hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Slide the wire rope into the narrow end of the pocket against the drum flange.
3. Wrap the wire rope around the anchor “puck” and pull the wire rope and anchor back into the wide end of
the pocket.
4. Use a soft hammer to drive the back side of the wire rope, firmly seating the wire rope and anchor into the
pocket.
The wire rope can easily be removed from the drum by driving the anchor out the wide end of the pocket.

ADJUSTING THE OIL COOLED WORM BRAKE
The oil-cooled, fully adjustable, automatic brake operates in the worm housing lubricant, all parts being submerged in oil. When the brake wears to the point that the load begins to drift, the brake can be adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw.
2. Tighten the brake by turning the adjusting screw clockwise. CAUTION: Only ¼ turn is usually required to adjust the brake. Over-tightening can cause overheating, and damage to the brake parts. Tighten the lock nut after adjustment is completed.
If the brake does not respond to adjustment then a new leaf spring and brake disc is needed.
A torque wrench can be equipped with a special adapter to fit the input shaft (worm) of the winch. The adapter can be made by welding a nut to the end of a piece of tubing as shown below.
After welding the cap and nut to the tubing, slot the tubing as shown. This will allow the special adapter to slide over the keyway and will then act as a large socket. A torque wrench can then be used to apply the proper torque. Turn the torque wrench so that the drum turns in the spool out direction or lowering direction. The torque rating for the Model HDG-350 should be 9 to 15 ft. lbs. If the torque wrench does not show the proper value as it turns, then the worm brake adjusting bolt should be turned clockwise ¼ turn to increase the torque setting. Each time the adjusting bolt is turned, check the torque reading. Continue this procedure until the proper torque reading is achieved. Then tighten the lock nut.
11
Page 14
SERVICING OF THE OIL COOLED BRAKE
1. Back off the lock nut, then the adjusting screw, both two turns or more by turning them counter­clockwise.
2. Remove the cover mounting screws.
3. Remove the cover along with coil spring and leaf spring.
4. Remove the retainer plate, composition brake disc, cam plate and balls.
5. Inspect parts as follows:
a. Composition brake discs are 1/8" thick when new. Replace if thinner than 0.080” or if
surfaces are glazed or burnt.
b. Inspect the flat, ground surface of the cam plate and retainer plate for glazing, warpage, or
other damage. Glazing can be removed by scraping carefully.
c. Inspect the leaf spring. It should be bowed 1/8".
12
Page 15
RE-ASSEMBLING AND CHECKING THE BRAKE
1. Press brake hub into place over worm shaft and key.
2. Assemble balls into appropriate slots of cam. Use stiff grease to hold balls into place and slide cam over end of worm. Be sure that balls are secure, between cam slots and hub slots. Refer to Diagram 1 on page 12.
3. Install brake disc.
4. Install retainer plate, smooth side toward brake disc.
5. Install the gasket on the cover with a small amount of grease or sealer
6. The coil spring goes over the adjusting screw on the inside of the cover.
7. Install the notches of the leaf spring on the pins protruding through the cover. The hollow side of the leaf spring goes toward the brake.
8. Install brake housing cover, making sure the protruding pins go through the leaf spring and into the holes on the retainer plate. Tighten capscrews to 7-8 ft. lbs.
9. Bolt cover into place with the mounting screws. Install drain plug and add 1 pint of SAE 140 EP oil.
10. Turn winch in the reel in direction at least one turn of the input shaft.
11. Turn the adjusting screw in until it is finger tight.
TEST FOR PROPER BRAKE ASSEMBLY
After the brake has been adjusted to the proper torque setting (See page 11), disengage clutch. Start vehicle engine and run winch in the reel in direction. Allow winch to run in this direction for one minute.
Place your hand on the brake housing. If housing is not direction (cable out) for one minute. Brake housing should begin to heat.
When these conditions exist, proper installation has been made. If heating becomes noticeable when running the winch in forward rotation (reel in direction) the brake should be disassembled. When disassembled, place the brake balls in the alternate set of slots in the cam plate, then carefully follow the instructions for reassembling and checking the brake.
