COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION:
The drum rotation of the standard PULLMASTER Model H8 planetary winch is clockwise for hoisting when looking
at the hydraulic motor of the winch. Drum rotation for counterclockwise hoisting direction is available as an option.
EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE:
PULLMASTER planetary winches can be supplied with an external brake release which permits release of the
automatic disk brake from an external pressure source.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE PORT WILL
TRAP BRAKE PRESSURE AND ALLOW THE LOAD TO DROP,
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
WINCHES SUPPLIED WITH EXTERNAL BRAKE RELEASE OPTION
MUST BE CONNECTED ACCORDING TO TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.
CABLE DRUM SIZES:
Aside from the standard drum sizes listed in APPENDIX A, the PULLMASTER Model H8 planetary winch can
be supplied with optional drums to accommodate large wire rope storage capacity.
DRUM GROOVING:
Cable drums for the PULLMASTER Model H8 planetary winch can be grooved. Where this option is a requirement,
it is necessary to state the size of wire rope which is to be used with the winch.
OPTIONAL GEAR SECTION FOR THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR:
The performance of the standard PULLMASTER Model H8 planetary winch may be changed by using a different
displacement motor. (Contact the factory for performance information.)
HYDRAULIC MOTORS FOR HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS:
The operating pressure of the PULLMASTER Model H8 planetary winch is limited to 2000 psi (138 bar). For
hydraulic systems operating with a higher range of hydraulic pressure, the winch can be supplied with a hydraulic
piston motor, which will provide for the same basic performance in terms of line pull and line speed capacity.
(Contact the factory for this requirement.)
The PULLMASTER WINCH CORPORATION will consider other options for quantity requirements.
