6.7.7. Attachment winch weight
Max. winch load is 1000 kg, or 2000 kg with single
reeving or, for type C6, 3000 kg with double reeving.
Where a reeved cable is used, it is prohibited to lift if the
winch cables are twisted.
Make sure that the cable runs through the grooves in
the cable sheaves and the slot in the winch head stop
plate!
The winch will stop automatically when there are 3
rotations of steel cable remaining on the winch drum.
Preparation
 Make sure the machine is supported on the outriggers, with the tracks just above the ground.
 Make sure the winch head is mounted as described (see section 5.7.1).
Mounting winch weight without reeving
 Remove the split pin from the winch weight.
 Take off the front half of the winch weight.
 Remove the two cable sheaves.
 Remove the lifting hook with the centring bush.
 Refit the lifting hook without the centring bush.
 Attach the winch cable eye to the shaft on which the cable sheaves were fitted.
 Fit the front half of the winch weight back in position. Note: the front half must be turned
around before it is put in place again. It will now slide the rest of the way over the strips, and
the eye of the winch cable will fit nicely in between.
 Fit the split pin in the 2
nd
hole in front of the front section of the winch weight so it is secured in
place.
