Franna SW45 TF Winch Use and Maintenance Manual

The SW45 TF winch is the hoist winch fitted to Franna pick and carry cranes. It handles the lifting work, so its rope, brake and gearbox oil need regular attention. If you look after your own crane and a service is coming due, this use and maintenance manual is the book that tells you what to check and when.

What this manual helps you do

• Plan your next service from the maintenance schedule instead of guessing at intervals.
• Lubricate the winch and change oil following the lubrication and oil changes guidance.
• Inspect the brake and check wire rope condition using the brake inspection and wire rope care routines.
• Adjust and verify settings as set out in the inspections and adjustments material.
• Follow the problems and solutions section to trace a fault before you start pulling parts.

Who this is for

Owner-operators who service their own Franna will get the most from it. You keep the winch working between jobs and need one reference for the routine tasks. It also suits a buyer of a used crane who needs a maintenance routine on file for a winch that came without its records.
