15020, prEN818-1/9, prEN 1492-1/2, prEN 1677-1/3 and other relevant product standards. 1) The cable drum of the PULLMASTER planetary winch has two cable anchor slots, one for clockwise and one for counterclockwise hoisting. Standard rotation for hoisting is counterclockwise when looking at the hydraulic motor of the unit.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GENERAL: In most cases, when the hydraulic winch does not perform satisfactorily, the cause for malfunction is found somewhere in the hydraulic circuit. Before the winch is removed from its mounting and disassembled, all of the hydraulic circuit components should be checked for proper function. IMPORTANT: The hydraulic oil volume relates to the line speed or rpm of the winch.
