3-16.2 The WINCH CLUTCH HANDLE (See
Figure 3-7 and 3-8) is located on the right or
curb-side end of the winch assembly. The
function of the WINCH CLUTCH HANDLE is
to engage or disengage the winch, allowing it
to respond to the WINCH HYDRAULIC
LEVER . For trailers equipped with optional
PNEUMATIC WINCH CONTROL (20,000 lb.
and 30,000 lb. winches only), the control is a
switch on the control panel (See Figure 3-8) .
If the semitrailer also has the optional winch
air tensioner, it also is controlled by the
same switch on the control panel. For the
20,000 lb. and 30,000 lb. winch, this switch
controls both the clutch and the winch air
tensioner simultaneously. For the 12,000 lb.
winch, this switch controls only the air ten-
sioner.
CAUTION
A MINIMUM OF 5 WRAPS OF CABLE
MUST BE LEFT ON THE WINCH DRUM.

sition, the winch is engaged and ca-
ble may be spooled on or off the

has two positions. (See Figure 3-8).
