This manual is intended for use by a WARN authorized service technician. It is important to make repairs with the proper tools and equipment. WARNING Read all instructions and safety information provided. Failure to do so, may cause the winch to fail, leading to personal injury. For full winch operation and techniques, as well as other product specific literature, visit www.warn.com. BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This manual covers models: • ZEON® XC 10, 12, 14

SECTION 1 - GETTING STARTED

1.1 Identification To ensure proper winch repair, it is necessary to correctly identify the model and part number of your winch. This makes ordering replacement parts easier and helps you obtain the necessary information from WARN customer service at 1-800-543-9276. NOTE: For a part description, item number and quantity, refer to the Specification Sheet for your specific winch model at www.warn.com. Winch identification: The product label is typically located on control pack. This label gives winch capacity and model.

Winch serial number: The serial number is stamped on the drum support.

1.2 Definitions 1.2.1 Definitions Operation and service of a Warn planetary winch can be explained easier by defining a few major structural components. Refer to Figure 1.2 for the following definitions: MOTOR : The electric winch is driven by a high speed, low torque electric motor. A 12-volt DC vehicle battery generally powers the electric motor. REMOTE SOCKET : The remote socket is where the operator plugs in the wired remote control in order to control the winch. WINCH ROPE : The winch rope’s diameter and length are determined by the winch’s load capacity and design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through the fairlead, the winch rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s clevis pin. Synthetic winch rope is constructed of a unique ultra high molecular weight polyethylene material and offers tremendous tensile strength. It is coated with a high temperature urethane and equipped with a temperature resistant sleeve on the first layer for added protection. The synthetic rope’s high flexibility and low weight make it much easier to handle out in the field. WINCH DRUM : The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The drum is driven by the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed using the remote control. DRUM SUPPORTS : Drum supports are the structural components of the winch that mount the winch to the vehicle. The drum rotates while being held by the drum supports and both the motor and gear train are attached to a drum support. GEAR TRAIN : Warn electric planetary winches consist of a gear train made up of three planetary gear stages. The purpose of the gear train is to multiply motor torque and to reduce motor speed transmitted to the drum. Warn gear trains are enclosed in a housing and are lubricated with grease. CLUTCH LEVER: The clutch lever allows the operator to manually disengage and engage the winch drum from the geartrain. Disengaging the clutch enables the drum to rotate freely (known as “freespooling”). Engaging the clutch “locks” the winch drum back onto the gear train. CONTROL PACK: Using electrical power from the vehicle’s battery, the control pack’s contactor switches power to the motor, enabling the operator to change the direction of the winch drum rota- tion.

BRAKE: All ZEON® XC winches are equipped with a directional sensitive automatic brake. The brake requires that the winch rope be wound onto the drum in the correct direction to operate properly. A Drum rotation label is located on the motor end drum support to help identify proper rotation. When the winch rope is reeled in, the brake is not activated. When reeling out under load, however, the brake slows the winch drum to an acceptable speed and holds the load when the winch is shut off. The brake is located inside the winch drum and dissipates heat through the drum and winch rope.

SECTION 2 - DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

NOTE: This service manual covers service steps for ZEON® XC Winches. Pay particular attention to the steps as some may or may not apply to your specific winch.

2.1 Suggested Tools The following tools are suggested for these procedures: • 1 - 5/32” Hex Key Wrench • 1 - ¼” Hex Key Wrench • 1 - 13mm, 1 – ½ ‘, 3/8 ‘ Box or Open End Wrenches • 1 - Flat Head Screwdriver • 1 - Pliers, including Long Nose Needle • 1 - Torque Wrench • Assortment of Torx Bits

Motor Coupler

Drive Shaft

Direct Drive Cone Brake Pad

1.3 Winch Operation A Warn winch is a compact device used to pull heavy loads over short distances. The vehicle battery and charging system generates the power for pulling the load. Power feeds from the battery power source into the winch control pack. At the push of a remote control switch the power flows to the winch motor. The winch motor turns the electrical energy into mechanical energy. The motor shaft turns the motor coupler, which, in turn, drives the brake. On power-in operation, the brake simply rotates and drives the planetary gears, starting with the gear carrier stage farthest from the winch drum (the first stage carrier.) The first stage carrier, in turn, drives the second stage carrier, which then drives the third stage carrier. The third stage directly drives the drum. Since the winch rope is connected to the drum, the rope winds around the drum, causing the load to be drawn in. On power-out operation, the motor is reversed and the winch drum is rotated in the opposite direction. All winch components operate in the same manner as during power in except the brake. During power- out, the load tries to “over speed” the motor (make the motor turn faster than it would under its own power.) When the brake detects this over speed it engages just enough to make the load and motor run at the same speed and slow the load. When the remote control switch is released, the brake engages and completely stops the load.

• Keep winch free of dirt, oil, grease, water and other substances. Remove any overflow grease from bearings. • Check all mounting bolts and make sure they are tightened to proper torque. Replace any damaged fasteners. • Periodically check all hydraulic connections to be sure they are tight and free of corrosion. • Check rope for visible damage every time winch is operated. Examples of damage are: cuts, knots, mashed or frayed portions, and broken strands. Replace rope immediately if damaged. Failure to replace a damaged rope could result in breakage. • If winch drum continues to turn after controls are released, brake may need to be replaced. 4.1 General Winch Maintenance SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE

4.2 Winch Rope Maintenance Cleaning: • Use low pressure water to clean synthetic rope. Do not use any chemicals. • Do not direct high pressure water (pressure washers, car washes, etc.) directly between the drum support and drum flange or clutch lever. • Use low pressure water and a soapy rag or sponge to clean the winch. • Avoid using chemicals that may damage the finish. • Thoroughly clean salt residue from the winch as soon as possible to minimize corrosion. Rope Inspection: WARNING Always inspect winch rope, hook, and slings before operating winch. Frayed, kinked or damaged winch rope must be replaced immediately. Damaged components must be replaced before operation. Protect parts from damage. When rope is first used, the outer filaments of the rope will quickly fuzz up. This is the result of these filaments breaking and this roughened surface will actually protect the fibers underneath. The condition should stabilize, not progress. If the surface roughness increases, excessive abrasion is taking place and strength is being lost. Look closely at both the inner and outer fibers. When either is worn the rope is obviously weakened. Open the strands and look for powdered fiber—this is a sign of internal wear. Localized discolorations could potentially represent chemical attack by anything from gear oil to battery acid. When doubt exists, replace the rope. Maintenance: • Inspect the winch rope and heat sleeve before and after each winching operation. Frayed or damaged rope must be replaced immediately. See rope care and storage. • The rope must always spool onto the drum as indicated by the drum rotation decal on the winch. • Use winch cover to protect winch and synthetic rope when not in use. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays from sunlight can degrade synthetic rope strength over time. • Avoid using synthetic rope over any rough surfaces without abrasion protection. • Keep winch rope free of moisture, grease, dirt or other debris. If necessary, clean with a damp cloth.

Rope should be replaced when: • Rope bulk anywhere along the length is reduced by 10% or more by abrasion. • Two or more adjacent strands are cut. • Flat areas or lumps are found that are not eliminated by flexing rope. • Excessive fused or melted fibers are found. Any such areas will be stiff and the rope will have a glazed appearance.

• Rope with original bulk.

• Rope displaying 25% strand volume reduction from abrasion—rope should be replaced.

• Rope strand showing full volume.

• Rope strand reduced by 25% abrasion—rope should be replaced.

• Rope exhibits fiber-set from compression. A slight sheen is visible. This is not a permanent characteristic and can be eliminated by flexing the rope.

• Rope displays two adjacent cut strands—rope should be replaced.
