Fitting winch cable
The use of gloves is mandatory when attaching the
winch cable!
Use one hand to operate the joystick for the winch and use the other hand to hold the winch
cable and keep it under tension.
Roll out the winch cable until approximately one metre in front of the machine. Keep the winch
cable under tension while rolling it out.
Switch off the remote control.
Run the winch cable over the winch cable sheaves of the boom as
shown in the figures. Check that the winch cable has been run over
the winch sheaves correctly (see figure 69). There is an arrow
engraved in the side of each winch sheave. These indicate how the
cable is to be routed.
Run the winch cable over the winch head. First remove the upper pin
in the winch head. For lifting with one cable, place the winch cable
over the centre winch cable sheave and fit and secure the upper pin in
place again. Position the cable correctly through the winch weight
stopper (see figures 70 and 71). Figure: 70

Rolling up winch cable
When rolling up the winch cable after you are finished using the
winch, roll up the winch cable until approximately one metre in front
of the machine, then guide it off of the winch cable sheaves, then pull
the cable taught and roll it up (see figure 72).
Hang the eye around the support and carefully roll up the winch cable
and gently pull it tight.

Deactivate the winch by setting the Winch state to OFF in the
remote control menu (see figure 73).
