A. Lowering the equipment on the slope:
1. Set the throttle on the dozer for the required engine
speed. Operator experience is required for this
operation so that the load is carefully controlled.
2. Keep the winch wire rope tightened between the dozer
and the equipment being lowered down the slope. Use
the control lever in the LINE-OUT position to control
the lowering of the equipment down the slope.
3. Move the control lever between LINE-OUT and
BRAKE-ON positions if inching is required. Use
minimum inching to prevent additional heat and wear.

ON positions if inching is required. Use minimal inching
to prevent additional heat and wear.
