GENERAL

This procedure contains information and instructions to keep the CBC safe and in good working order by

inspecting and replacing a defective winch assembly.

INSPECT

Inspect the winch assembly (1) to ensure that all parts of the assembly function properly and that there

are no cracks or other damaged parts that would prevent the winch assembly from operating properly and

safely. To inspect the winch assembly (1), remove the cover (2) as detailed below. Re-install the cover

after inspection.

REPLACE

To replace the winch assembly (1), remove the winch cover (2) by removing the four screws (3),

lockwashers (4), and flat washers (5) that the secure the cover (2). Put the cover and its hardware aside.

Using a ratchet and/or by hand, unwind the cables (16,17) from the winch barrel (7). Once the cables

have been unwound, remove each cable assembly end ball (8) from its key-hole slot (9) in the outside

plate (10) or middle plate (11). It may require some force to pull and/or push the end ball through the

keyhole slot. Take note of the relative positions of the cables. A small piece of tape marking the left and

right cables is recommended.

After unwinding and removal of the cable assemblies (6) from the winch barrel (7), remove the winch

assembly (1) from the winch assembly bracket (12), remove all hex locknuts (13), flatwashers (14), and

hex head bolts (15) that secure the winch assembly (1) to the winch assembly bracket (12).

Install a new winch assembly (1) in position onto the winch assembly bracket (12), aligning the holes in

each. Install all hex head bolts (15), flat washers (14), and locknuts (13).

Rotate the winch barrel (7) to position the keyhole (9) located on the middle plate (11) at the top of the

winch barrel.

Install the ball end (8) of the cable of the long right hand cable (16), in the keyhole (9) located on the

middle plate (11) of the winch barrel ( 7).
