5.4. Hand Winch Operation
Æ
When equipped with a Hand Winch:
Before using the hand winch, ensure that:
• the cable anchor on the winch drum is tight.
• all cable clamps are secure.
• the lift cable is seated in cable pulley.
• the cable is in good condition, if damaged, replace it immediately.
• there is a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum when the auger fully lowered.
To operate:
1. Turn the winch handle to raise and lower the auger. The winch must make a clicking sound when raising the
auger. If clicking sound stops, retain grip on handle, lower the auger fully and repair winch.
2. When lowering, if the cable becomes slack before auger is in full down position, this indicates that the track
shoe is stuck. To correct the problem, reverse the winch and raise the auger until the cable is taut and the
track slides normally. Do not lubricate the winch brake discs.
3. After lowering the auger, always tighten the brake lock by turning the winch handle clockwise at least two
clicks.
4. After lowering, rotate the winch handle until cable has light tension.
