OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
WINCH SYSTEM
The winch system operates hydraulically and consists of a driver side main (recovery) winch
(1), a passenger side main (recovery) winch (2) and an auxiliary winch (3). The main
winches operate independently and are used to recover, load, and unload heavy tracked
and wheeled vehicles. The main (recovery) winches (1 and 2) are mounted side-by-side
directly to the winch platform. Each main (recovery) winch (1 and 2) has a maximum
capacity of 55,000 lbs (24 970 kg). The auxiliary winch (3) is used to pull the main winch
cable (4) back to the payload. The auxiliary winch (3) is mounted to the winch platform just
below the driver side main (recovery) winch (1). The auxiliary winch (3) has a maximum
capacity of 3,000 lbs (1 362 kg).

All three winches (1 through 3) are controlled from the operator's station (5), which
incorporates a shield (6) that protects the operator during winching operations. (WP 0035)
Each main (recovery) winch (1 and 2) is powered by a two-speed hydraulic motor (7 and
8). The auxiliary winch (3) is powered by a single-speed hydraulic motor (9). A Power
Takeoff (PTO) driven hydraulic pump (10) supplies winch system with hydraulic oil from a
45 gal. (170 L) reservoir (11). Two view gauges (12) on the reservoir (11) indicate the
hydraulic oil level.
