5.4.
Pulling in
a)
Thread the bullwheels as described previously in section 5.3
ensuring that there is sufficient rope to pass over the layering
arm onto the rope take-up drum. Securely fasten the rope to
this take-up drum.
b)
Start the engine, refer to the operator manual supplied with the engine.
c)
Operate the drum control lever to engage the drum drive. This should be
left in its operating position at all times that the winch is working. At all other
times it is advantageous to return the drum control lever to its non-
operational position.
d)
Operate the winch control lever by pulling gently towards the operator. The
rope will now be pulled in and be wound onto the rope take-up drum. It may
occasionally be necessary to assist the rope to layer evenly by moving the
layering arm in the appropriate direction. The speed of pulling can be
increased or decreased by adjusting the engine speed control.
