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 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 9. Make sure locking ring is positioned with stop post at marked location.
The capscrews or 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 assem-
bly 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, confirming
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 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 tem-
porarily and confirm that the cable spools when the shifter is
in the Engaged position.
