5.5 Pulling Out Winch Line
Place the drum free wheel mode by disengaging the coupling and the winch
line can be simply pulled out as required.
5.6 Starting Engine
The engine fuel tank should be filled with the correct grade of fuel before
commencing, refer to the Engine Operating Manual for details. Switch the ig-
nition, switch it
‘
ON
’.
Turn on the choke, set the throttle to half and pull starting handle in a long steady
stroke to start. For further details refer to the Engine Operating Manual.
5.7 Driving Drum
Rotate the drum until the couplings on drum and motor align
and slide drum towards motor, and then rotate drum to ensure
the drum is engaged.
With engine running the control valve can now be engaged.
Pulling the handle back wards towards the towing eye will com-
mence drum rotation, pulling the rope in. The handle controls
direction and speed. Pushing handle toward reverses direction
of rotation.
5.8 Layering Device
The arrangement fits to the side arm with the motor mounted
on, and is secured with a
‘
R
’
clip. The layering device is used to assist layering of the winch line. Careful
setting of the equipment will prevent excessive forces on the layering device. Always wear protective
gloves when operating the layering arm.
The layering arm
MUST NOT
be used for conductor recovery.
5.9 Holding Ratchet
This device is fitted to the drum drive coupling and should be kept in the
open position (i.e. non operational). The holding ratchet should only be
used after pulling through heavy conductor when winching has stopped
and conductor is held ready for sagging.
To remove holding ratchet after engaging, it is necessary to start the winch
and pull further to remove load, prior to removal of ratchet.
