Cable Tensioner Overhaul

Note: Your winch will come in either

an overwound or underwound version.
The disassembly and reassembly is
the same for either, but the appear-
ance and mounting of the cable ten-

sioner will be different (see figures at
right and below). If you are not certain
which version the winch you are work-
ing on is, refer to pages 19 and 20.

1. Disconnect the air supply from

the cable tensioner at the “T”
fitting (item #12).

2. Remove nuts (item #8) from

actuators (item #14) that hold
the actuators to the tensioner

plate (item #1). Remove pin
(item #3) by removing cotter pin
(item #11) and washer (item
#10) on both sides.

3. Remove the tensioner plate and

inspect the actuators for damage.

4. Remove and replace any dam-

aged parts. Tighten capscrews
(item #6) that attach tensioner

bar to tensioner plate to 20-25 ft-
lbs. torque.
