I/O Switch
The I/O switch is on the back of the
hand-held transmitter. The I/O switch
connects or disconnects the battery power.
The switch must be in the I position for the
transmitter to operate.
5.11.2 Receiver
The receiver is attached to the safety screen. The signal from
the hand-held transmitter is sent to the receiver, and then to the
hydraulic actuator to engage or disengage the winch clutch.
It is necessary to have a 12 VDC electrical connection from
the tractor for the receiver. The receiver enclosure is weather,
vibration, and shock resistant.
The receiver includes a manual override button. For more
information, see Manual Override Button.

5.11.3 Manual Override Button
WARNING!
If it is safe to do so, disconnect the cable or
winch rope from the load before using the
manual override button. Use of the manual
override button when the cable or winch rope
is attached to a load can result in serious injury
or death. There are ying object, hit, crush, and
entanglement hazards in the manual override
button location.
The manual override button is available for temporary (one-time)
use in a situation where the remote-control transmitter does not
operate, and it is necessary to wind the cable or winch rope.
Repair or replace the remote-control transmitter before using the
skidding winch again.
Manual Override Button Hazards
If the cable or winch rope cannot safely be disconnected from
the load, continuously watch for the following and other possible
hazards during winch operation:
• A cable or winch rope can break when there is tension on
it. A broken cable or winch rope moves quickly with high
force in many directions.
• The tractor can move unexpectedly and hit or crush the
operator.
• The PTO shaft turns during operation and can entangle
loose clothing, hair, hands, or feet.
Manual Override Button Procedure
1. Push the button to wind the winch rope.
2. Release the button to stop the winch.
