STOWING THE BOOM EXTENSION:
1. Reverse the procedure described in steps 7 through 14 in the installation procedure
above.
2. Lay the load line back in the tip sheaves and insert both retainer pins and cotters.
3. Replace all of the pins in their lugs for storage and insert their cotters.
FRONT AUXILIARY WINCH:
The front auxiliary winch is mounted behind the front bumper and is controlled from the
operator compartment. The winch, with the 5/16-inch (7.9 mm) wire rope (10,500 pound
(4762 kg) breaking strength) and 2-ton hook, has a single-part-line capacity of 3,000
pounds (1360 kg). A pulling eye is provided below the winch for two-parting the line with
a sheave block, allowing 6,000-pound (2720 kg) pulls. (An additional sheave block is not
provided with this option.)
The front auxiliary winch is designed for the following uses:
1. As a tag line for restraining loads on the boom load line during pick and carry
operation.
2. To drag loads on the ground to a position where they may be safely lifted with the
boom.
3. To pull the crane out of mud or other obstacles.
4. To pull a smaller vehicle that is stuck.
W A R N I N G
The front winch is not designed for lifting personnel or loads. Observe the
following safety rules:
1. Never lift or carry personnel with the winch and wire rope.
2. Do not allow anyone to stand near or under the load being moved.
3. Be sure the cable is securely anchored in the drum and that at least 5 wraps of
rope remain on the drum to e nsure against the rope pulling out of its anchor.
4. Stand clear of a loaded winch cable. If it breaks, it can be very dangerous.
5. Keep hands clear of the winch and any sheaves that the cable passes over when
the winch is being operated.
