5.1.
Controls
The operator controls have been designed to be safe and simple to use, with due
regard to ergonomic considerations. The operators control station is complete with
the following:
a)
Control lever for winching in and paying out. This provides bi-directional
selection of bullwheel rotation. The valve spool has a soft start facility
allowing for a limited creep and inching movement.
b)
Control lever for operation of the rear take-up drum. This lever should be in
its operating position before operating the bullwheels. If the winch is not
being used, this lever can be returned to its non-operating position, thus
saving on fuel and preventing the hydraulic oil from overheating.
c)
Pressure gauge, which is also an indication of the pulling tension.
d)
Tension control knob. This can be used to limit the actual pulling tension
applied to the pulling bond.
e)
A safety ratchet mounted on the bullwheel can be used to hold the load.
