Checks During Operation

The Error Codes Chart (Figure 10-2) identifi es issues
that may be communicated via the winch indication light.
The Troubleshooting Chart (Figure 12) may be used by
the operator to identify a problem if the Error Codes chart
does not accurately communicate the problem. A trained
service person is needed for additional troubleshooting
and repair that requires disassembly of parts of the winch.
• Check the winch indication light:
- Any blinking indicates a problem.
