HANDLING TOWING WINCH ATTACHMENTS, OPTIONS
6-14
SLOW WINDING OUT
1. 1. When the winch control lever is moved from the N
position to Slow reverse rotation position (3), the brake is
released, the drum rotates slowly in reverse, and the wire
rope is wound out.
2. 2. When stopping the slow winding-out operation, release
the winch control lever. The lever is returned to the N
position and the free brake is applied to stop the winding
out of the wire rope.
INCHING (BRAKE PARTIALLY APPLIED)
WARNING
If the winch control lever is pushed fully forward, it will enter FLOAT position (5), be held by the notch,
and the brake will be kept fully released. This is dangerous, so do not push the lever fully; if it catches in
the notch, pull it back by hand.
Use this operation when driving the machine forward without
changing the position of the load hanging from the wire rope, or
when lowering the load under its own weight.
1. When the winch control lever is moved from the N posi-
tion towards position (4), the braking force on the drum is
gradually reduced. Adjust the position of the control lever
to match the weight of the load or the travel speed of the
machine. If the lever is pushed too far forward, there is
danger that the load will drop.
2. When stopping the inching operation, release the winch
control lever. The lever is returned to the N position and
the free brake is applied to stop the inching of the wire
rope.
