3. On Catwalks fitted with a drive chain skate winch, inspect the drive chain for wear and possible
sprocket looseness. Ensure the chain master link is properly attached and the chain is well lubricated
and tensioned. The chain should have between 1/4” to 1/2” droop between sprockets on the slack
side.
4. Either before each tripping run or monthly, inspect the skate winch cable and drum for signs of wear.
Check for broken wire in the cable and excessive grooving in the drum.
5. Check the carrier lift winch cables for signs of wear. Check for broken wires in the cable. Ensure cables
are not crossed and are riding in the correct groove on the main winch drum.
6. Inspect the carrier lift winch motor and brake hydraulic lines for signs of wear and leaks. For detailed
information and maintenance on the carrier lift winch, refer to the Lantec® Manual.
7. Check inside and around the Catwalk for signs of hydraulic leaks.

Warning!
Hydraulic pressure in the lines can reach 5,000 psi.
Ensure all leaks and frayed or damaged lines are
corrected immediately.

Grease Points

Figure 6-13: Motor Grease Points

Hydraulic Filters and Oil

• Monthly, check the in-tank oil filter gauge (Figure 3-15, page 3-16) mounted on the reservoir top.
Change the filter element when the gauge indicates greater than 20 psi during lifting or lowering, or
when the High Filter Pressure Error is displayed on the HMI screen.

NOTE
Disregard the High Filter Pressure Error when
the oil is cold (less than 70ºF (21ºC)).

• Monthly, check the high-pressure filter indicator (Figure 3-14, page 3-15). Change the filter element
when the indicator shows in the red while the carrier is lifting or lowering.
• Replace the pump case drain spin-on filter when replacing the in-tank return filter
(Figure 3-14, page 3-15) or every six (6) months, whichever occurs first.

Choose the Type of Hydraulic Oil

Use of a high quality hydraulic oil is essential for satisfactory performance and long hydraulic component
life.

Hydraulic oil of a viscosity of 150 to 330 SUS at 100°F (38°C) is recommended. High viscosity (100 or
greater) oil will provide good results under normal temperature conditions, minimize cold-start trouble, and
reduce the length of warmup periods. A high viscosity index helps minimize changes in viscosity with
corresponding changes in temperature. Maximum cold weather startup viscosity should not exceed
5,000 SUS with a pour point of at least 20°F (–7°C) lower than the minimum ambient temperature.

6-8 Document ID 13-003 v 2.0

 Maintanance, Service, and Troubleshooting

Under continuous operating conditions, oil temperature must not exceed 180°F (82°C) at any point in the
system. An oil temperature range of 120 – 140°F (49 – 60°C) is generally considered optimum.

Anti–wear type hydraulic oils developed and evaluated on the basis of standard pump wear tests such as
ASTM–D2882 are recommended (Table 6-1). These oils offer superior protection against pump and motor
wear, provide good demulsibility, and protect against rust.

Table 6-1: Recommended Hydraulic Oil Grades for Various Temperatures

Ambient Temperature °F (°C) ISO Oil Grade
–49 to 59°F (–45° to 15°C) 15
–4 to 59°F (–20° to 15°C) 22
50 to 95°F (10° to 35°C) 32
68 to 113°F (20° to 45°C) 46
77 to 131°F (25° to 55°C) 68

NOTE: Hydraulic oil must be maintained at a minimum cleanliness

level of 18/16/13 (per ISO 4406) for normal ambient temperature
ranges. When operating at temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), a
17/15/12 level must be maintained to compensate for cold starts.

Skate Cable Monthly Maintenance

Check Tension
Monthly, use the following procedure to check and adjust skate cable tension.

1. Move skate to the rear of carrier.

2. Lift carrier up the ramp part way so the underside of carrier can be inspected.
3. Install the safety stop bar.
4. Slowly run skate forward while watching the cable. The cable will momentarily become slack as the
cable wraps on the skate winch drum and moves across the drum from one side to the other. At its
lowest point, the cable should not hang more than four (4) inches below the underside of the carrier
frame.
5. Tighten the cable by removing the locking plate at the rear of the carrier, and then equally threading in
the cable tensioner bolts. Do not overtighten the cable.

NOTE
ALWAYS move the skate forward, then backward
(or visa versa) for a minimum of 15 ft (4.6 m).
NEVER tighten the cable so much that you do not
see a momentary drop in the cable when reversing
the skate travel.

PC3000 with 26" Deck (PC3000-26) User’s Manual

Lubricate
Monthly, have a second Operator move the skate repeatedly to each end of its travel as you add a small
amount of hydraulic oil to the skate cable (Figure 6-14).

• The recommended working temperature of the sump should be 122 – 158°F (50 to 70°C).

• The intermittent peak temperature of the sump should be no greater than 203°F (95°C).

• The winch is filled via the filler plug. Fill with gear oil until it reaches the oil level gauge/port. For more
information, please refer to the manufacturer’s literature.

Warning!
. DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling may
cause the winch to overheat.
. Before you work under the raised
carrier, install the safety stop bar.

Caution
Do not operate or perform any lubrication, mainte-
nance, or repair on this product UNTIL you have
read and understood the operation, lubrication,
maintenance, and repair information.

Oil Maintenance
Using the correct type and viscosity of lubricating oil is critical to the proper function of the winch. The
sprag clutch is particularly sensitive to extreme pressure (EP) additives. Refer to Table 6-3.

Warning!
Failure to use the proper type and viscosity of oil
may cause failure of the winch to hold the load and
may result in property damage, personal injury, or
death.

Operated at loads over 75% of rated load for
Severe more than 75% of lifts and/or over 200 hours Quarterly (every 3 months)
per month

Change Oil
To change the oil, do the following:

1. Run winch to warm up oil and to ensure particles are suspended in the oil.

NOTE
Before changing the oil, consider
obtaining an oil sample for analysis.

2. Place oil pan or bucket beneath drain port to collect the oil.
3. Loosen and remove the drain plug, and allow oil to drain from the winch.
4. Rotate drum to the fill position.
5. Fill with oil to the correct level. The correct oil level is indicated when oil begins to run out of the plug at
the 9 o’clock position.
6. Replace and tighten drain plug.
7. Operate winch for 30 seconds.
8. Stop winch for 30 seconds and recheck for correct oil level.

9. Verify fittings and plugs are properly tightened.

10. Dispose of used oil and clean up any spillage in an environmentally sound manner.

Warning!
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.
Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

Clean Vent
The vent fitting is located on the motor end of the winch (Figure 6-15). It is very important to keep this vent
clean and unobstructed. Each time the gear oil is changed, remove vent fitting, clean with solvent, and
reinstall. Do not paint over the vent and do not replace with a plug.
