5.6 Choker Chains
IMPORTANT! If the winch has a synthetic winch rope,
always connect the hook end to a choker chain or synthetic
choker. Never wrap a synthetic winch rope around a log or
attach the hook end onto the synthetic winch rope. Incorrect
use of a synthetic winch rope causes damage that is not
covered by warranty.
All of the machines come with two choker chains. The heavy
duty 5/16" choker chains are 7-1/2 ft (2.3 m) long with a steel
probe for sliding under logs.
1. Push the probe end of the choker chain under the log.
2. Pull the ends together and put the hook end over the choker
chain.
3. Attach the probe end of the choker chain to the keyhole
slider on the cable or winch rope.
