WINCH OPERATING PROCEDURES
HYDRAULIC WINCH OPERATION PER WINCH MANUFACTURER!
Install the cable to pull and feed from the bottom of the winch drum (see Figure 2). Remove excess bolt
length on cable bolts after cable is secured to the spool.
WARNING
!
DANGER
!
Never reach into the winch or winch roller area.
1. Winch operation is a one person job. This means
the person who hooks the winch to the wood
material is the same person who engages the
winch.
2. Place the feedwheel control bar in the off
position. Make sure the chipper and towing
vehicle are blocked or anchored in a solid
location.
3. Locate the selector valve and engage it to the
winch position. The feed system should not
operate with the selector valve in this mode.
4. Make sure the winch clutch is disengaged and
pull the cable to the material to be reeled in.
Attach cable securely to the wood material that
you want pulled to the chipper.
5. Make sure everyone is clear and then retract the
clutch lock pin and then pull the clutch handle
up to engage the winch clutch (see Figure 1).
Make sure the handle is locked in position.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
6. Use the winch control valve or the radio remote
control (if applicable) to now pull the wood
material towards the machine.
7. Once the wood material is pulled to the machine,
unhook it from the winch and make sure the
cable is completely reeled back in and out of the
way. Attach the cable to the keeper loop. Make
sure the cable is clear of the feedwheel(s) or
severe damage can occur if the cable should
enter the chipper.
8. Reengage the selector valve to the feed position.
9. Engage the feedwheel(s) and begin feeding
