Operating Procedures
A single control lever is used for PFO winch control (see
Figure 7). A second control lever may be used for PFR
operation (see Figure 8). The control levers are used to
select one of the following operations:
• LINE-IN (For “PFR” LINE-IN/LINE-OUT)
• BRAKE-ON
• FREESPOOL
• BRAKE-OFF
Note:
1. When the winch is in LINE-IN operation, the control
lever is spring returned to BRAKE-ON position.
2. All other functions are Detented positions and the
control lever must be returned to BRAKE-ON position
manually.
Operation
Power Operation, Power Forward Only (PFO)
Refer to Figure 7.
BRAKE-ON position is a neutral position. The clutch is
released, and the brake is spring applied. The winch drum
will not turn.
LINE-IN position applies the LINE-IN clutch and releases
the brake. The winch will wind the wire rope at a speed
controlled by the engine or torque converter RPM.
BRAKE-OFF occurs when the operator moves the control
lever towards the BRAKE-OFF position. The clutch is
released and oil pressure releases the brake. This position
will permit the wire rope to unwind from the winch against
the friction of the clutches, brake, and gear train as the
tractor moves away from the load. The BRAKE-OFF
position is used when the operator has a load on the winch
wire rope and wants to move the tractor forward without
moving the load, while still keeping the wire rope tight.
Wire rope cannot be pulled from the winch by hand. The
BRAKE-OFF position is different from the FREESPOOL
position where the drum is disengaged from the gear train.
