Control Cable Adjustment
There are three configurations of operator controls
normally used on the W6F winch. Check the operation of
the power control lever to make sure it moves smoothly
and will return to the BRAKE-ON position. The power
control lever will stay in BRAKE-OFF when pushed into
DETENT position. Make sure the control lever does not
hit the housing at the end of its travel.
A. See Figure 12. Make sure the positions of the power
control lever (Item 2) are the same as the position
indicators on the control housing. Remove the two
capscrews and raise the cover. Loosen the U-bolt (Item 4)
that holds the power control cable (Item 5) in the housing
to adjust the power control lever.
Check that the positions of the FREESPOOL control lever
(Item 1) are the same as the position indicators on the
control housing. Loosen the U-Bolt (Item 4) that holds the
freespool control cable (Item 3) in the housing to adjust
the freespool control lever. The linkage and cable must
be adjusted so that the FREESPOOL shifter mechanism
will slide the drum pinion gear to both positions. Both
positions have a detent.
