INTRODUCTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
The Rufnek series planetary winch is designed to use a high-speed gear motor,
driving through a multiple disc brake, through three planet sets to the cable drum.
The multiple disc brake is spring applied and hydraulically released through a port in
the brake housing. During inhaul, the brake is not released since the load is driven
through the one-way cam clutch, bypassing the brake. When the load comes to a stop,
the cam clutch locks up and the load is prevented from moving by the brake.
The brake and brake valve receives its signal any time the winch is in pay out. With
the brake fully open at about 340 PSI the brake valve will open and dynamically control
the lowering of the load.
ASSEMBLY NUMBER EXPLANATION
This manual is for design series 004. In the case of a major design change
implementation, a new design specification number will be issued for the winch. A new
manual will also be created for that specific design series.

FAILURE TO HEED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The safety of the winch operator and ground personnel should always be of great
concern, and all necessary precautions to insure their safety must be taken. The
primary mover and the winch must be operated with care and concern for the
equipment and the environment and with a thorough knowledge of the equipment and
its performance capabilities must be understood. These general safety guidelines are
offered, however local rules and regulations or national standards may also apply.
Recommended references are, but not limited to, ANSI B30, OSHA 1910, AWS D 14.3,
and SAE J706.
Additional information can be found at http://www.team-twg.com/TulsaWinch/
Mounting:
Winch mounting must be secure and able to withstand the applied loads.
•The stability of the mounting system must be approved by a qualified person.
•All welding should also be done by a qualified person.
•Winch mount must be flat so as not to induce binding.
•The flatness must not exceed 1/16 inch across the mounting surface of the winch
itself.
Insure that all hydraulic hoses, valves and fittings are rated to winch manufacturer’s
operating pressures.
Relief valves should be set to winch manufacturer’s specifications.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury or property damage.
Indicates information or a company policy that
relates directly or indirectly to the safety of
personnel or protection of property.

4
Operator:
Must read and understand the operating and service manual.
Both the SERVICE MANUAL and OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
are available online at http://www.team-twg.com/TulsaWinch/
Must never lift or move people with this winch.
This winch is not designed or intended for any use that involves moving people.
Must stay clear of the load at all times.
Ground personnel should remain a safe distance from the load and winch cable
at least 1 ½ times the length of cable measured from the winch to the load.
Must stay clear of the cable at all times.
A broken cable can cause serious injury or death.
Must avoid shock loads.
Shock loads can impose a strain on the winch that can be many times the design
rating.
Must be aware of the fleet angle of the winch.
All loads should only be pulled with the load line perpendicular to the drum shaft,
this is to avoid excessive stresses on the winch and will help prevent the cable
from building on one side of the drum flange.
Must wear personnel protective equipment (PPE) if required.
Check the local, state and federal regulations for compliance.
Must insure that the drum clutch is fully engaged before hoisting.
A visual inspection of the drum clutch engagement is required before each
winching operation.
Must rig all loads secure before winching.
Pull the load line taut and inspect the condition of load for stability.
Must inspect the drum brake if equipped.
The drum brake is not a load holding device it is design to prevent over spooling
of the drum and causing bird nesting of the cable on the drum. Inspect the brake
for wear of the lining and the actuation method.
Must inspect the load control brake.
These winches are equipped with two (2) forms of dynamic braking. The spring-
applied/hydraulically-released multi-disc oil brake is one method. Before a load is
handled the load should be pulled tight and stopped to check this brake. The
second method is a hydraulic lowering control. The same method should be used
to check this brake.
Operation:
•All winch controls must be well marked for function to avoid confusion.
•All winch controls must be located to provide the operator with a clear view of the
load.
•The clutch must be inspected daily for proper operation.
•The winch cable should be inspected daily for serviceability.
•A minimum of five wraps of tightly wound cable must remain on the drum.

Tulsa Rufnek series planetary winches, like any other piece of machinery, need to be
periodically serviced and well maintained to insure proper operation.
Good maintenance consists of four steps.
1. A daily inspection to insure that there are no oil leaks present and that all mounting
bolts and other fasteners are tight, and that the wire rope is in good condition.
2. Changing the oil in both the gearbox and the brake section. (Severity of use will
determine the need for oil changes but it should be checked at a minimum of every
500 hours. Factors such as extremely dirty conditions or widely varying temperature
changes may dictate even more frequent servicing).
3. Lubing drum bushings and sliding clutch with grease. The drum bushings are lubed
thru two grease zerks located on drum barrel.
4. Complete teardowns and component inspections. (Again, severity and frequency of
use will determine how often this should be done). If the equipment that this winch
is mounted to is subject to standards for this type of inspection, then those standards
must be followed. If oil changes reveal significant metallic particles then a teardown
and inspection must be made to determine the source of wear.
Rufnek series planetary winches are designed with a common oil reservoir for the
gearbox and brake. The winches are shipped from the factory filled with Mobilube SHC
SAE 75W-90 synthetic gear oil which is satisfactory for operation in ambient
temperatures from -40°F to +110°F. If winch will be operated in temperatures outside
this range, contact Tulsa Winch for recommendations.
The oil is drained by removing the drain plugs (18 & 85) located at bottom of gear
housing (10) & bottom of brake cover (3), then remove the fill plugs (39 & 81) located at
the top of the gear housing (10) & the top of the brake cover (3). Inspect the oil for signs
of metallic particles and/or burning and dispose of in a proper manner. Then re-install
the drain plugs.
Fill the brake end with Mobilube SHC SAE 75W-90 (1/2 quart), then fill the gear end
with Mobilube SHC SAE 75W-90 oil (7-1/4 quarts) and replace both of the fill plugs.

B. BRAKE SECTION DISASSEMBLY
1. Evenly remove the four cap screws (3) that
hold the brake cover (2) in place. Spring
pressure will raise the cover up as the cover
screws are loosened. Carefully remove the
cover (2) from the brake housing (20).
Inspect the o-ring (6) for damage.
2. Remove the springs (7) from the piston (5)
and check the free height. Each spring
should measure at least 1.240 inches with
no force on them.
3. Remove the piston (5) by installing two
pieces of 3/8”-16NC all thread into the two
holes in the top of the piston and run in
evenly until the piston is clear of the
housing. An alternate way of removing the
piston is to use shop air to slowly pressurize
the brake port to remove the piston from the
brake housing (20).
4. Inspect o-rings (8, 10) and back up rings (9,
11) on the piston. Grasp the brake
driver/clutch assembly (assembled items 14,
15, 17, 18, 19) and remove it from the brake
housing.
5. Remove the stator plates (12) and friction
discs (13) from the brake housing and check
them for excessive wear, and replace if
necessary. Be sure to check the top stator

remove the cotter keys (100) and clevis pins
(49) connecting the yoke (67) to the bracket
(90) & air cylinder (105).
You may need to remove the
air lines, so it’s a good idea to
mark them for re-assembly.
2. Support the weight of the drum with a hoist.
Remove the four cap screws (61) and the
nuts and washers (62, 63) on the bottom of
the brake housing (20). Disconnect the
airline running from the air cylinder (68) to
the brake housing (20). Remove the brake
housing by sliding it off of the output shaft
(38). At this time you will need to remove
two cap screws (61), nuts and washers (62,
63) from the frames (64 or 65). Do not
remove air cylinder (68) yet. Disconnect the
air line from the backside of the brake
housing (20) that goes to the brake band air
cylinder. You can now remove the brake
band assembly (66). Note which frame the
mounting bolts are on for re-assembly.
Inspect and replace, if needed.
3. Remove the outer thrust collar (53) by
loosening three set screws (81).
4. Remove the yoke (67), sliding clutch (27),
and coupler (30). Remove the three keys
(94) and the inner thrust collar (24).
Remove the drum using a hoist. Inspect the
bushings (31) in both ends of the drum.
You should also inspect the bushing
and seal (21, 25) that are located
in the end of the brake housing.
5. Inspect or replace the drum clutch (28) at
this time by removing six cap screws (33). If
you replace the clutch, make sure to torque
the cap screws to the specified torque upon
re-assembly. (See torque specifications
chart on page 29 of this manual.)
