Ratchet gear Frequency of servicing Lewmar winches must be serviced regularly.Winches are required to carry deceptively high loads. Regular servicing, with attention to correct assembly and condition of parts, is vital to the safety and performance of your boat. When? 1. T wo or three times during active sailing season winches should be stripped, cleaned and re-lubricated. 2. At the end of each sailing season and before starting the new sailing season all Lewmar winches should be completely stripped, cleaned, thoroughly checked for damage and lubricated. (see the latest issue of the Lewmar Winch Service Manual available at www.lewmar.com) External cleaning of the drum. Chromed and stainless steel winches – wash drum regularly with fresh water and dry with a cloth. Non-abrasive liquid chrome cleaner can be used occasionally to remove dirt spots. Alloy winches – wash drum regularly with fresh water and dry with a cloth. DO NOT use polishes or abrasives. Servicing Winches All components should be removed and cleaned in a paraffin bath during the course of servicing. If you do not have access to a paraffin bath, use half of an old plastic container with an old toothbrush. Even a cotton cloth soaked in paraffin or white spirit will suffice. Caution Some Lewmar winches contain plastic components which may be damaged by inappropriate cleaning agents. Always check the manufacturers directions before using any cleaning agents. Greasing Never use grease to lubricate your pawls, as this can lead to pawls sticking in their pockets and disabling the winch. Instead, lubricate with a light engine oil. Use only a light smear of winch grease when lubricating ratchet tracks, gear teeth and bearings. Otherwise excess grease will be forced out and collect in potentially dangerous areas, such as pawl pockets. Assembly Winches must be re-assembled in the reverse sequence to the order of dismantling. After re-assembly, immediately check the winch functions correctly. Mounting Winches must be fitted as explained in the product manual (supplied with every winch and downloadable from www.lewmar.com). Winches are self-draining and care should be taken to ensure the drain holes are not obstructed. Ratchet Gears – Pawl Engagement When assembling ratchet gears, check pawl engagement as shown below. Incorrect assembly will lead to back winding of the winch.This is very dangerous, so extreme care should be taken. Correct Wrong Servicing Your Winch
