-      Dave Seris, Juneau, Alaska

Lewis Winch saves plow truck from snow bank

----------------------------------

Dear Lewis Winch,

I purchased the Lewis Winch a couple years ago.

I love it!

This winter was extremely brutal here in Massachusetts.

We have had over three feet of snow on the ground all season.

On one occasion, I got my plow truck stuck sideways down a hill off of the road.

The winch pulled it right out.  My cousin couldn't believe it!

Thanks, Lewis Winch!

Ken B. - Massachusetts, USA

This Lewis Winch anchored to a tree can easily pull large vehicles from the snow bank.

Lewis Winch Operating Tips: Checking Oil Level

Posted by: Lewis Winch

------------------------

-----------------------

Checking Oil Level:  The Lewis Winch  requires very little maintenance, but one thing is very important, there must be sufficient oil in the gearbox or gear damage will occur.

When you receive your new Lewis Winch from the factory, it will already be filled with 5 ounces of 80/90 weight gear oil. As long as there was no leakage in transit, then you should be good to go,

 right out of the box.

After every few uses it is a good idea to check the oil level. This is a very simple procedure, kind of like checking the oil in the differential on your car or pick-up truck. 



Oil fill and check plug on modern Lewis Winch



The first step is to stand the Lewis Winch on it's spool with the back end pointing straight in the air, then locate the oil fill plug (see picture).



 Remove oil fill plug while maintaining the Lewis Winch in a vertical position. When the plug is removed insert your finger tip into the hole slightly and tip the winch slightly forward. If your finger gets wet with oil then it is full enough. Replace plug and continue working.

If you have an older model Lewis Winch then you will find the fill plug on the bottom (see second picture). The procedure is still the same, stand the winch on its spool then remove fill plug. Tilt the winch slightly forward and oil should start to drip out.



Old style check and fill plug



 If you have to tilt the winch too far forward to get a drip or to wet your finger then the level is low and should be topped up to the bottom of the hole when the winch is vertical.

Remember, 5 ounces of 80/90 weight gear oil is best, too much oil can cause damage also.

While you are checking the oil, have a quick look at all the nuts and bolts on your Lewis Winch and make sure everything is tight.

Then give the chain, sprocket and other moving parts a squirt of oil as well. That should keep everything moving freely.

Lewis Winch Operating Tips: Pull A Vehicle Out Of The Ditch

Posted by: Lewis Winch
-------------------------

------------------------------

Q...How do you pull a large vehicle out of the ditch using a Lewis Winch?  Isn't a full size pick-up truck too heavy for the Lewis Winch?

-------------------------------

A....No, a full size pick-up is not too heavy for the Lewis Winch.

Actually it is easier to pull a truck out of the ditch than skid a large log because a vehicle is on wheels and there is less friction to contend with.

The Lewis Winch is designed to efficiently skids logs weighing thousands of pounds across the ground and through dense bush, so a vehicle on wheels is child's play for this portable chainsaw winch.

Just remenber to block the wheels so that the vehicle doesn't roll forward or backwards once it is out of the ditch.

Here is what our customers have said about pulling stuck vehicles using the Lewis Winch:



Lewis Winch recues car stuck in snow

 

"My wife and kids took a bit of a wild winter ride on our snowy driveway last night.





They got part way up, lost traction and slid backwards on the 15% grade for about 40 very anxious feet. In three easy pulls, the winch walked the car up the remaining 200 feet like a champ. No snatch block, it pulled the car (a Nissan Maxima) with far greater ease than most of the logs I've dragged around the forest.  

This is a tool that my wife now fully supports!!!"

 -  Scott M., Pemberton, BC

The Lewis Winch will easily pull a 3/4 ton truck out of the sand

  "I work in sugar sand, and vehicles get stuck weekly.

 I direct mounted a stihl 066 that I don't get much use out of because all the hurricanes have taken down all the big trees.

Well the Lewis Winch will actually start pulling a 2500 truck buried in the sand with barely any throttle... 

This winch is awesome!"
