Gearbox and drive unit: check oil level and condition, inspect for leaks, verify torque output and gear engagement
Hydraulic system (where applicable): inspect hoses, fittings, seals, and HPU pressure settings; check hydraulic fluid level and cleanliness
Drum and fleeting angle: inspect drum surface for grooves or deformation, verify correct spooling/fleeting angle to prevent wire overlap damage
Clutch and coupling inspection: check clutch engagement/disengagement operation, inspect coupling elements for wear or misalignment
Load monitoring and control systems: function-test tension measurement, wire length counters, speed indicators, and remote/auto-tension control electronics
