OPERATE WINCH - CONTINUED
f.
Exercise care with suspended loads. Maintain engine speed at a high enough RPM. If engine speed is too low, weight
of load may cause it to drop, even with winch selector lever in REEL IN position.
CAUTION
Damage to wire rope may result if load is winched at an angle greater than five (5) degrees to either side of
longitudinal axis of tractor.
g.
Always winch with wire rope in as straight a line as possible behind tractor. Do not winch a load at an angle greater
than five (5) degrees to either side of longitudinal axis of tractor.
h.
Assistance is needed when reeling in wire rope (without a load) onto drum, to ensure wire rope windings are properly
wound.
i.
Always lock winch selector lever in NEUTRAL position, with safety lever, when not operating winch.
2.
Winch Operation.
a.
To lock wire rope so that it will not move, move winch selector lever to NEUTRAL position. When towing, holding
a load or when winch in not in use, selector lever should be in NEUTRAL position.
b.
To reel out wire rope by moving tractor away from a heavy load, or to lower a load by its own weight:
(1) Move winch brake lever to APPLIED position.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave winch selector lever in FREE SPOOL position for extended periods of time. When moving
away from a load, operate tractor in low gear to prevent overspeeding of winch components.
(2) Move winch selector lever to FREE SPOOL position.
(3) Slowly lower load using winch brake lever.
(4) Move winch selector lever to NEUTRAL position, to automatically apply brake.
c.
To lower a light load with power, or when moving away from a load in 1st gear:
(1) Move winch selector lever to REEL OUT position.
(2) Control speed by varying engine RPM.
(3) Move winch selector lever to NEUTRAL position, to automatically apply brake.
d.
To pull a load toward tractor:
(1) Move and hold winch selector lever in REEL IN position.
CAUTION
To ensure maximum service life of wire rope, engage winch at lowest practical engine speed.
(2) Engage winch at lowest possible speed. Heavy line loads will require higher engine RPM than lighter loads.
(3) Move winch selector lever to NEUTRAL position, to automatically apply brake.
e.
To inch out a load (fine control operation):
(1) Move winch brake lever to APPLIED position.
(2) Move winch selector lever to FREE SPOOL or REEL OUT position.
(3) Use winch brake lever to control load.
(4) Move winch selector lever to NEUTRAL position, to automatically apply brake.
