5. Determine position shifter knob needs to
be for your application. Note: Shifter
knob cannot be positioned too low or it
will interfere with the feet on the Gear
End Bearing (see Range of Position in
Figure 9).
6. To position the shifter knob, place lock-
ing ring in end bearing with stop post
approximately 180° from where shifter
knob needs to be positioned. Place cam
ring over locking ring in proper position
and confirm that shifter knob will move
from engaged to disengaged position
without interference. Mark position of
stop post on end bearing.
7. Remove cam ring and locking ring from end bearing. Insert springs (item #38) into end bearing.
When you replace the locking ring (item #34) over the springs, be sure the springs compress down
into their recesses, and don’t bend sideways.
8. Reassemble Gear Housing as shown in Figure 7. Make sure locking ring is positioned with stop
post at marked location. The capscrews (item #38) for the retainer should be tightened to 40-45 in-
lbs. Do not over-tighten.
9. Place Gear Housing over the stacked gears, etc. that you removed in step 3. Gently work the hous-
ing over the stack, turning it as needed to mesh the planetary gears with the ring gear in the hous-
ing. Once they are all in the housing, flip the assembly over. Align the Gear Housing Cover and gas-
ket with the holes in the ring gear. Replace the (6) capscrews that hold the Gear Housing Cover onto
the Gear Housing. Tighten securely.
10. Move the Shifter to the Disengaged position.
11. Turn the Gear Housing over and set it on the
work bench with the Gear Housing Cover
down. See Figure 10.
12. Install the drum bushing into the Gear
Housing, confirming that the slot in the bush-
ing is aligned with the key in the end bearing.
Pick up the rest of the winch (drum and
motor end), and holding the drum, lower the
winch onto the gear end. Stab the shaft into
the gear end--you may need to turn the drum
slightly to get the shaft to go all the way in.
13. Place the tiebars on the motor end and gear
end and fasten using (4) screws. Tighten
securely.
14. Once the winch is reassembled, turn it so
that it is sitting on its feet. Confirm that the cable will freespool when the shifter is in the
Disengaged position. Connect up the winch temporarily and confirm that the cable spools when the
shifter is in the Engaged position.
