CABLE INSTALLATION

1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of wire rope,

opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.

2. Place taped end of cable through roller guide and into hole in cable drum as shown below. Use

3/8”-16NC X 3/8” Lg. Hex socket drive setscrew to secure cable to drum.

3. Carefully run the winch in the “reel-in” direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the

cable onto the cable drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.

After installing cable, check freespool operation. Disengage clutch and pull on cable at walking speed.

If cable “birdnests”, loosen jam nut #34 and turn 3/8”-16NC capscrew #29 clockwise to increase drag

on drum. If cable pull is excessive, loosen 3/8”-16NC capscrew #29 by turning counterclockwise.

Tighten jam nut when proper setting is obtained.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Refer to the performance charts, below, to properly match your hydraulic system to Linemaster 15K winch

performance. The charts consist of:

(1) Line pull (lb.) first layer vs. working pressure (PSI) and (2) Line speed, first layer (FPM) vs. gallons per

minute (GPM). Performance based on a motor displacement of 11.9 cubic inches with 30 GPM maximum

flow rate. Motor has (2) 1.062-12 SAE straight thread o-ring ports.

Note: A motor spool (open center) directional control valve is required for brake operation.

CLUTCH OPERATION

WARNING: CLUTCH MUST BE FULLY ENGAGED BEFORE STARTING THE WINCHING OPERATION.

To engage clutch:

1. Grasp shift lever and push toward drum to the “In” position.

2. If shift lever detent does not engage to the detent hole, then the clutch is not fully engaged. The cable

drum may need to be manually rotated slightly while pushing on the shift lever to align the clutch

splines.

WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH UNDER LOAD.

To disengage clutch:

1. Run the winch in the "cable out" direction until the load is off the cable.

2. Grasp the shift lever and pull away from drum to the “Out” position until shift lever detent engages in

detent hole. If there is resistance in moving the shift lever, the cable drum may be manually rotated in

the cable “Out” direction thereby relieving the preload and allowing the lever to shift. The cable may

now be pulled off by hand.

WINCH OPERATION

The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you use it.

Plan your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch, as well as see it operate; learn to recognize

the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Gain conﬁ-

dence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature with you.

The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling a load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable pileup on one

end of drum. If this happens reverse the winch to relieve the load and move your anchor point further to

the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.

MAINTENANCE

Adhering to the following maintenance schedule will keep your winch in top condition and performing as it

should with a minimum of repair.

A. WEEKLY

1. Check the oil level and maintain it to the oil level plug. If oil is leaking out, determine location and

repair.

2. Check the pressure relief plug on the gear housing cover. Be sure that it is not plugged. Lubricate

cable with light oil.

B. MONTHLY

1. Check the winch mounting bolts. If any are missing, replace them and securely tighten any that are

loose. Use grade 8 or better bolts.

2. Inspect the cable. If the cable has become frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.

C. ANNUALLY

1. Drain the oil from the winch annually or more often if winch is used frequently.

2. Fill the winch to the oil level plug with clean kerosene. Run the winch a few seconds with no load in the

reel in direction. Drain the kerosene from the winch.

3. Refill the winch to the oil level plug with all purpose 75W-90 synthetic gear oil.

4. Inspect bumper and surrounding structure for cracks or deformation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OVERHAUL

1. Drain oil from gear housing by removing plug #74 from drain hole in end bearing.

2. Freespool drum to locate drain hole in bottom. Remove plugs #55 from barrel of drum. Drain oil

from drum barrel. Remove tie plate #21 by loosening (2) capscrews #28 each side. Loosen but

do not remove (2) capscrews #27 on roller guide tie plate #22. Remove (4) capscrews #28 and

roller guide.

3. Position roller guide face down on a level surface and (2) capscrews #27 and roller guide tie

bar #22. Horizontal rollers #37 can be removed from the left and right hand roller guides once

the tie bar has been removed. Horizontal rollers #37 have (2) lube fittings #43, one located at

either end of the roller.

4. Remove vertical roller pin #61 from right hand side of roller guide #14 by removing spring pin

#63. Spring pins should be removed by driving inward through the roller. Vertical roller pin #61

has (2) lube fittings #43, one located at either end of the roller pin. Once the vertical roller pin

is removed from right hand side of roller guide, vertical roller #38 can be removed. Remove
