LINE-IN
Step 3. The operator can move the control lever to the
LINE-IN position. If the load is less than approximately
75% of the maximum line pull, the operator can begin
traveling with the vehicle at the same time. The winch will
wind the load toward the vehicle as it travels. If the load is
nearly the capacity of the line pull, the operator must move
the load close to the vehicle before beginning to travel.

BRAKE-OFF
Step 4. If the tractor or skidder must travel through an
area with bad traction conditions, the operator can move
the control lever to the BRAKE-OFF (DETENT) position.
This procedure will permit the vehicle to move through the
bad traction area while keeping the wire rope tight, but
without pulling the load at the same time.
