LION 1000 - Cayman 88 - Tigres - Falkon
Problem Possible causes Solution
4. The electric engine
runs but the shaft
does not rotate
either Up or Down
4.1 Heavy wear or breakage of teeth
of the crown / worm screw.
4.2 Breakage of the engine spindle.
4.1 (SERVICE) Uninstall the winch and replace the broken
parts. Check out carefully that pieces or splinters of broken
parts did not enter into the oil circuit and have ruined other
mechanical parts. (*)
4.2 (SERVICE) Replacing of the engine. Care must be taken
that the broken part did not remain in the hole of the worm
screw. (*)
(*) Take advantage of this opportunity to replace any other worn
parts, especially gaskets, screws, tabs, seeger, and oil.
5. The electric engine
runs, the shaft
rotates Up, but does
not rotate Down
5.1 The chain locker is tangled; there-
fore, the emergency mechanism
becomes operative.
5.2 The chain is of poor quality with
burrs and zinc deposits that do
not allow the free ow of the links;
therefore, the emergency mecha-
nism becomes operative.
5.3 The chain was placed in the locker
in block and the links are stuck
with each other; therefore, the
emergency mechanism becomes
operative.
5.4 Wear of the emergency mecha-
nism of the spring control.
5.5 The chain stripper interferes with
the gypsy: it is possible to weigh
the operation, while to lower, the
emergency mechanism becomes
operative.
5.1 Check out that immediately after the anchor there is a joint
that allows the chain to unfold properly when weighed.
5.2 Remove the chain from the locker and inspect it link by link.
Intervene with the appropriate tools to make it as loose as
possible and free of obstructions.
5.3 Lower manually all the chain in a sea bed deep
enough to enable it to unfold properly. Retrieve it
with the winch.
5.4 A (SERVICE) Uninstall the winch from the boat and
disassemble it into its parts by replacing the spring. Take
advantage of this opportunity to replace any other worn
parts, gaskets, screws, tabs, seeger, and oil.
B (SERVICE) It is possible to block the EMERGENCY
MECHANISM so that the gears are always engaged both in
UP and in Down. This operation must be authorized by the
shipowner. The solution rules out completely the possibility of
carrying out the emergency operation.
5.5 Restore the condition of the chain stripper by
repositioning properly in the gypsy centreline.
If it is deformed. It must be replaced.
6. The electric engine
runs but it cannot be
bell warped.
6.1 The bell warp is being used
wrongly; therefore, the emergency
mechanism becomes operative
6.1 To carry out the warping operation the main shaft must run
in the same rotation direction of the winch gypsy when it
weighs the chain.
7. The winch cannot
be weighed: the
electric engine runs,
the shaft runs, but
the gypsy is still
although the brake
belt is loose.
7.1 The gypsy is not closed on the
clutch cones and slips under the
load effect, or for some reason
the closing wheel is at end stroke.
Check out all pieces in sequence.
7.2 The clutch cones or the gypsy
cones are deformed and the
clutch hubs are in contact and
prevent closure.
7.1 Check out clutch tightening. If necessary, measure the
parts and check out possible deformations. It is possible to
add some thickness to stem the problem. Then replace the
damaged parts.
7.2 Replace the clutch and/or the gypsy
8. The shaft does
not run well, is not
aligned, and so is
the gypsy and/or
the bell.
8.1 The shaft bent because the winch
was subjected to an excessive
load.
8.1 Check out that the procedures of use fall within the
specications of the winch.
(SERVICE) Uninstall the winch and replace the shaft. Take this
opportunity to replace worn parts, gaskets, seeger, tabs and oil.
