 When configuring the winch weight for reeving, be careful to remove the centring bush for the
lifting hook while switching from two sheaves to one or to no sheave. It should only be used
when two sheaves are used in the winch weight.
 Any time tension has been removed from the winch cable, check that the winch cable is still
taught and neatly wound around the winch drum before operating the winch.
 When using the winch, keep in mind the limits of the various machine configurations.
 Remember: the complete winch weight is 33 kg. It is not intended to be lifted or moved by
hand.
 With the exception of the winch weight, lifting hook and the ballast removal support, it may not
be used to pull on the machine.

Check
 Check that the winch plate is within the indicator range. The winch
plate must not be crooked. When under tension, the winch plate
must be between the indicator points (see figure 62).
 Check the cylinder behind the winch for leakage.
 Visually inspect the winch cable for external deficiencies, such as
kinks and broken strands.
 Check that the winch cable is taught and neatly wound around the
winch drum. If not, unwind it and roll it up neatly (see figure 63).
Always use a weight when rolling up.

Preparation
 Make sure the machine is supported on the outriggers, with the tracks just above the ground.
 Make sure the jib, jib adapter and/or other attachments have been removed from the boom
and stored and secured in place.
 Make sure the boom is horizontal and retracted.
