WARNING!
Before using the winch, read and understand the
information under Winch Safety on page 40.
1. Push the winch gear lever to the RH side (away from the
operator) to disengage the winch gear.
For more information, see Winch Gear Lever on page 22.
2. Grasp the hook on the winch rope and pull the rope out to
the logs.
3. Attach the 60" (1.5 m) winch strap to the log, and then
attach the winch-rope hook to the strap. Do not attach the
winch rope directly to the log. A standard log chain can be
used in place of the winch strap.
