2.2 WINCH MOUNTING
2.1 ROAD TRAFFIC
Winch must be mounted on vehicles in compliance with regulation.
Many countries require to keep up to date with traffic card. Do not
drive vehicle not in compliance with
Chapitre 2 Installation
regulation or not up dated traffic card.
SECTION 2 MOUNTING
Winches mod. NH have been designed to be mounted on vehicles
frame. Must be fitted horizontally to give best lubrication and
securely mounted on a surface who can resist to the winch pulling,
without having any flex within the base and the winch while in use.
To fit the winch on vehicle chassis it should be better mounting a
framework by u s i n g a n g l e s n o t i n f e r i o r t o :
ANGLES : mm [ inch ]
150x150x15 - [ 5,9x5,9x0,591 ]
The winch mounting angles must be fitted through framework to
the vehicle chassis with at least 8 anchorage points by using
capscrews M33 class 10.9 ISO and lock nuts (pict.2).
IMPORTANT
Winch is built up for different model of trucks. Holes on the
mounting angles are not present, installer will make it, taking in
consideration the right winch position on truck.
WARNING
Winch must no be mounted directly onto the vehicle chassis.
Winch should be mounted as close to center and as perpendicular
as possible to the direction of the line pull. This will keep the
wire rope fleet angle centered onto the drum as small as
possible.
12
PICT. 2
NOTE The 4 mounting holes for each side of mounting angles shown
in pict.2, are not presents when winch is delivered. The mounting
holes are shown in pict.2 as demonstration. Alls other holes are
for accessories mounting.
Standard mounting angles are delivered mounted on winch :

DANGEROUS
If the proper fleet angle is not maintained, the wire rope could
wind onto one side of the drum. This could cause failure of the
winch or wire rope, resulting in damage, injury or death.
DANGEROUS
A wrong or inadequate winch mounting could damage the winch.
IMPORTANT
In the winch mounting, check the gear housing (1) and the drum
support (2) (pict.3) are properly aligned for not compromising the
winch working.
WARNING
Excessive bushing and gear wear and difficult in drum free
spooling are usually symptoms of misalignements.
Section 2 Mounting
IMPORTANT
Once winch has been mounted, we suggest to disengage the winch
drum, then runs drum manually to check winch misalignment.
NOTE
A certain resistance in drum rotation is given by drum band
brake (3), mounted to avoid a cable birdnest when drum is in the
freespooling.
Band brake (3) resistance can be adjusted, by set screw (4).

temperature are moderate, and where exces-sive back pressure or
internal leakage are not present, a reservoir equal in size to the
flow of the system can be used. Hose lengths should be kept as
short as possibile. Sharp bends in hoses and tubing and 90 degree
fittings should be avoided since they increase back pressure.

WARNING
The radial hydraulic motor mounted on winches mod. NH needs a
caise drainage obligatory directly to the oil reservoir, a wrong or
missed drainage line (pict.4 hydraulic system) will damage oil
seals fitted onto the hydraulic motor adapter to maintain separate
hydraulic motor oil to the gear box oil. Oil seals damaged will let
hydraulic oil come into the gear housing. In case of excessive
pression, hydraulic motor adapter could be dama-ged too. WARNING
The winch control device should be positioned for safe operation of
the
winch without hesitation or lost of time. They should also be
designed so the operator or other persons are not exposed to any
dangerous. IMPORTANT Winch control devices are at exclusive charge
of the installer, who will also take care to place alls decals, to
indicate the different winch function to avoid any misunderstanding
to the winch operator while winching.

OIL TYPES: Mineral hydraulic oils are recommended with anti-wear
additives (ISO HM ou HM , with minimum viscosity of 95. The use of
different oils, hydraulic motor company must be contacted.
TEMPERATURE: When selecting hydraulic oils, it is very important
consider the operating temperature of the hydraulic system. Oil
temperature should lie between +30C [+85F] to +60C [+140F]. As a
general rule, oil life is halved for each +8C [+15F] its
temperature exceeds 60C [+140]. VISCOSITY: The viscosity of the oil
should be at least 12 cSt and preferably within 20 cSt and 60 cSt
when the operating temperature of the system has become
stabilized.
FILTERING: It is necessary to keep the level of oil
contamination at an acceptable level to ensure problem-free
operation. To mantain a correct level of cleaning is necessary a
return filter of 25 m. In very dirty enviroments, in complex
systems, the recommended filtration is 10 m. In any case should
refer to the vehicle hydraulic system designer recommen-dation
where the winch will be mounted also about maintenance.
according to the radial hydraulic motor plumbing its shaft will
turn in clockwise or counterclockwise, thats will determine a
different winch drum rotation (pict.5).
Winches model NH are equipped with a worm gear drive train, who
doesnt have pre-determined and obligatory drum pulling direction,
who can be done in clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
NOTE
If the winch is equipped with accessories such as : Heavy-duty
roller Fairlead and Level winder, these are fitted, without any
indication in the winch order, as shown in this instruction
maintenance manual.

Winches model NH can be equipped (on request) with DUAL ACTION
air-cylinder clutch shifter to power drum free spooling. The
pneumatic system works if air system is available on vehicle
only.
Fit air plastic pipes from the air-cylinder ports G3/8 as shown
(part E pict.6) to the dual action air lever valve as shown in
typical layout (pict.7).
HOW DOES IT WORK:
Air flow through position X engage the drum.
Air flow through position Y disengage the drum.
IMPORTANT
For efficient operation of air-cylinder clutch shifter , utilize
air pressure filtered and dried. It is important to keep
moisture from entering the winch. Moisture could cause
corrosion. If tempe-rature fall down below 0, moisature could
freeze and render the component inoperable. System works at the
minimum pressure 6 bar. Pressure must not exceed 10 bar. The
pneumatic system can works with temperature between 20C and + 80C
.
WARNING
Not utilizing the proper air filters, the air clutch could be
damaged , and compromise its function.
