5.6 Choker Chains

under logs.
• Push the probe end of the choker chain under the
log.
• Pull the ends together and put the hook end over
the choker chain.
• Attach the probe end of the choker chain to the
keyhole slider on the cable.

5.7 Lower Snatch Block
The FX85, FX110 and FX140 models have a lower
snatchblock. The main use of the lower snatchblock
is to lower the pulling point, and make skidding more
stable. This enables larger loads to be skidded. The
snatchblock has three positioning holes on the FX110
and FX140.
When finished winching, the cable is moved to the
lower snatchblock for skidding out the load. To use it,
give the cable some slack and tuck it behind the snatch
block onto the pulley.
