I I n n s s t t a a l l l l a a t t i i o o n n Air Supply The air supply must be clean, free from moisture and lubricated to ensure optimum motor performance. Foreign particles, moisture and lack of lubrication are the primary causes of premature motor wear and breakdown.
I I n n s s t t a a l l l l a a t t i i o o n n Mufflers Ensure mufflers are installed in winch motor exhaust manifold and control valve exhaust port. An additional muffler is used on winches equipped with an emergency stop and overload device.

Operation Winch Controls The spring loaded, motor mounted, live air manual throttle control valve is supplied as a standard feature on this winch. Optional remote throttle controls are available. Reference model code on the winch data (name) plate and compare it to “Specifications,”...
O O p p e e r r a a t t i i o o n n Emergency Stop Emergency stop device is located on the control valve. When activated, winch drum rotation will immediately cease. To activate emergency stop, depress (push down) red palm valve, located on top of control valve. N N O O T T I I C C E E If winch overload occurs, overload device, if equipped, also stops winch.
O O p p e e r r a a t t i i o o n n Automatic Drum Band Brake The automatic drum band brake is a spring applied, air released brake which utilizes an air actuated, spring loaded cylinder, that automatically disengages brake when motor is operated.
O O p p e e r r a a t t i i o o n n Limit Switches Limit switches are standard on -CE winches. Pre-set limit switch settings prevent winch wire rope payout and haul-in by stopping air flow to the winch motor when a set point has been reached.
