Operating Procedures
The control lever assembly is connected to the winch
through a control cable to the control valve spool. This
lever is used to select one of the following operations:
•
BRAKE-OFF
• LINE-OUT
• BRAKE-ON
• LINE-IN
When using the
LINE-IN
and
LINE-OUT
functions, the
control lever will return to
BRAKE-ON
(neutral) position
when released.
The
BRAKE-ON
position is a neutral position. No hydraulic
pressure is applied to the brake or the clutches. Springs
apply the brake so that the winch drum will not rotate.
Checks Before Operation
• Check that the cable and hook are not worn or
damaged. Check that the periodic inspection and
maintenance have been done at the recommended
operating hours. (See Figure 15, Maintenance
Schedule.)
• Check lever adjustment.
The Troubleshooting Chart at the end of this subsection
can be used by the operator to identify a problem with
the winch operation. A trained service person is needed
for additional troubleshooting and repair that requires
disassembly of parts of the winch.
