    A minimum of 5 wraps of cable around drum barrel is necessary to hold the load, cable clamp is not designed to hold the load as shown in Chap.2.6 (pict.10 page18).

    DANGEROUS

    Stand clear of cable while pulling. A broken cable can cause serious injury or death. Do not try to guide cable. Do not disengage clutch under load.

    DANGEROUS

    According to CE Directive Machinery 98/37 EEC winch drum must be protected by a cover to avoid cable injures. The cover must be mounted by buyers who settle the winch.

  • 2.2 WINCH MOUNTING

    2.1 ROAD TRAFFIC

    Winch must be mounted on vehicles in compliance with regulation. Many countries require to keep up to date with traffic card. Do not drive vehicle not in compliance with

    Chapitre 2 Installation

    regulation or not up dated traffic card.

    SECTION 2 MOUNTING

    Winches mod. NH have been designed to be mounted on vehicles frame. Must be fitted horizontally to give best lubrication and securely mounted on a surface who can resist to the winch pulling, without having any flex within the base and the winch while in use. To fit the winch on vehicle chassis it should be better mounting a framework by u s i n g a n g l e s n o t i n f e r i o r t o : ANGLES : mm [ inch ]

    150x150x15 - [ 5,9x5,9x0,591 ]

    The winch mounting angles must be fitted through framework to the vehicle chassis with at least 8 anchorage points by using capscrews M33 class 10.9 ISO and lock nuts (pict.2).

    IMPORTANT

    Winch is built up for different model of trucks. Holes on the mounting angles are not present, installer will make it, taking in consideration the right winch position on truck.

    WARNING

    Winch must no be mounted directly onto the vehicle chassis.

    Winch should be mounted as close to center and as perpendicular as possible to the direction of the line pull. This will keep the wire rope fleet angle centered onto the drum as small as possible.

    12

    PICT. 2

    NOTE The 4 mounting holes for each side of mounting angles shown in pict.2, are not presents when winch is delivered. The mounting holes are shown in pict.2 as demonstration. Alls other holes are for accessories mounting.

  • DANGEROUS

    If the proper fleet angle is not maintained, the wire rope could wind onto one side of the drum. This could cause failure of the winch or wire rope, resulting in damage, injury or death.

    DANGEROUS

    A wrong or inadequate winch mounting could damage the winch.

    IMPORTANT

    In the winch mounting, check the gear housing (1) and the drum support (2) (pict.3) are properly aligned for not compromising the winch working.

    WARNING

    Excessive bushing and gear wear and difficult in drum free spooling are usually symptoms of misalignements.

    Section 2 Mounting

    IMPORTANT

    Once winch has been mounted, we suggest to disengage the winch drum, then runs drum manually to check winch misalignment.

    NOTE

    A certain resistance in drum rotation is given by drum band brake (3), mounted to avoid a cable birdnest when drum is in the freespooling.

    Band brake (3) resistance can be adjusted, by set screw (4).

    WARNING

    The radial hydraulic motor mounted on winches mod. NH needs a caise drainage obligatory directly to the oil reservoir, a wrong or missed drainage line (pict.4 hydraulic system) will damage oil seals fitted onto the hydraulic motor adapter to maintain separate hydraulic motor oil to the gear box oil. Oil seals damaged will let hydraulic oil come into the gear housing. In case of excessive pression, hydraulic motor adapter could be dama-ged too. WARNING The winch control device should be positioned for safe operation of the

    winch without hesitation or lost of time. They should also be designed so the operator or other persons are not exposed to any dangerous. IMPORTANT Winch control devices are at exclusive charge of the installer, who will also take care to place alls decals, to indicate the different winch function to avoid any misunderstanding to the winch operator while winching.

    OIL TYPES: Mineral hydraulic oils are recommended with anti-wear additives (ISO HM ou HM , with minimum viscosity of 95. The use of different oils, hydraulic motor company must be contacted.

    TEMPERATURE: When selecting hydraulic oils, it is very important consider the operating temperature of the hydraulic system. Oil temperature should lie between +30C [+85F] to +60C [+140F]. As a general rule, oil life is halved for each +8C [+15F] its temperature exceeds 60C [+140]. VISCOSITY: The viscosity of the oil should be at least 12 cSt and preferably within 20 cSt and 60 cSt when the operating temperature of the system has become stabilized.

    FILTERING: It is necessary to keep the level of oil contamination at an acceptable level to ensure problem-free operation. To mantain a correct level of cleaning is necessary a return filter of 25 m. In very dirty enviroments, in complex systems, the recommended filtration is 10 m. In any case should refer to the vehicle hydraulic system designer recommen-dation where the winch will be mounted also about maintenance.

    according to the radial hydraulic motor plumbing its shaft will turn in clockwise or counterclockwise, thats will determine a different winch drum rotation (pict.5).

    Winches model NH are equipped with a worm gear drive train, who doesnt have pre-determined and obligatory drum pulling direction, who can be done in clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

    NOTE

    If the winch is equipped with accessories such as : Heavy-duty roller Fairlead and Level winder, these are fitted, without any indication in the winch order, as shown in this instruction maintenance manual.

  • Section 2 Mounting 18

    Winches model NH can be equipped (on request) with DUAL ACTION air-cylinder clutch shifter to power drum free spooling. The pneumatic system works if air system is available on vehicle only.

    Fit air plastic pipes from the air-cylinder ports G3/8 as shown (part E pict.6) to the dual action air lever valve as shown in typical layout (pict.7).

    HOW DOES IT WORK:

    Air flow through position X engage the drum.

    Air flow through position Y disengage the drum.

    IMPORTANT

    For efficient operation of air-cylinder clutch shifter , utilize air pressure filtered and dried. It is important to keep

    moisture from entering the winch. Moisture could cause corrosion. If tempe-rature fall down below 0, moisature could freeze and render the component inoperable. System works at the minimum pressure 6 bar. Pressure must not exceed 10 bar. The pneumatic system can works with temperature between 20C and + 80C .

    WARNING

    Not utilizing the proper air filters, the air clutch could be damaged , and compromise its function.

    Not proper extended clutch operation (manual or air system) even if doesnt cause a load drifts in a short period, could cause edge wear of sliding jaw clutch and drum clutch (part.A), till moment where would be impossible engage drum anymore, or will be not capable to keep load.

    IMPORTANT

    To assure a good clutch operation keep maintenance as recommended in Chap.4.1.1 monthly maintenance. For air clutch shifter version it is necessary make a right linking to the vehicle air circuit and needs filtres and pressure regulator.

    IMPORTANT

    Maintenance needs increase according to the winch operational conditions, as well as in case of occasional use.
