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
10).
6. To position the shifter knob, place locking
ring in end bearing with stop post approx-
imately 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 8. 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 housing over the
stack, turning it as needed to mesh the planetary gears with the ring gear in the housing. Once they are all in the
housing, flip the assembly over. Align the Gear Housing
Cover and gasket 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 11.
12.Install the drum bushing into the Gear Housing, confirm-
ing that the slot in the bushing 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 fas-
ten 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.
