2. When lowering, if the cable becomes slack before conveyor is in full down position, this indicates that the
track shoe is stuck. To correct the problem, reverse the winch and raise the conveyor until the cable is taut
and the track slides normally. Do not lubricate the winch brake discs.
3. After lowering the conveyor, always tighten the brake lock by turning the winch handle clockwise at least
two clicks.
4. After lowering, rotate the winch handle until cable has light tension.
4.5. Hydraulic Winch Operation
Æ
When equipped with a Hydraulic Winch connected to your tractor’s hydraulic system:
Before using the hydraulic winch, ensure that:
• the cable anchor on the winch drum is tight.
• all cable clamps are secure.
• the lift cable is seated in cable pulley.
• the cable is in good condition, if damaged, replace it immediately.
• there is a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum when the conveyor is fully lowered.
• the hydraulic hoses are free from leaks, binding, flattening, kinks, or wear.
To operate:
1. Wipe the hydraulic hose couplers clean before connecting it to the tractor.
Dirt in the hydraulic system can damage the winch motor and can cause failure of the
system.
2. Connect the hydraulic hoses and ensure the connections are tight.
3. Start tractor and idle at low rpm. Engage hydraulic lever to power winch. Test the direction of rotation of
winch to ensure drum is moving in the direction required. Increase tractor rpm until desired rate of lift or
descent is reached.
Do not touch, grab, or guide cable while equipment is being raised or lowered.
Do not continue to supply power to winch when the conveyor has reached full up position
as this can cause damage.
4. Close the hydraulic ball valve when the equipment is fully raised.
Failure to close the ball valve may cause the frame to lower and cause damage to the
conveyor.
5. When lowering, if the cable becomes slack before the conveyor is in the full down position, this indicates
that the track shoe is stuck. To correct the problem, reverse the winch and raise the conveyor until the cable
is taut and track slides normally.
6. After lowering, adjust the hydraulic winch until cable has light tension.
4.6. Collapsible Hopper Cloth Control
The conveyor is designed with a collapsible hopper cloth to allow it to go under low discharge units.
