Manual Controls
WARNING
!
OPERATE HYDRAULIC WINCH PER INSTRUCTIONS!
Install the line to pull and feed from the bottom of the winch drum.
DANGER
!
Never reach into the winch, fairlead, or winch roller area.
1. Winch operation is a one person job. This means
the person who hooks the winch line to the wood
material is the same person who engages the winch.
2. Place the feedwheel control bar in the off position.
The chipper and towing vehicle must be blocked or
anchored in a solid location.
3. Locate the handle on the winch unit and position
it to the free spool mode by pulling the handle to
the side then down to the bottom position. If the
machine has a winch control panel on the side
of the infeed hopper, position the toggle switch to
the winch free spool position; the winch free spool
indicator light should be on. While the winch is
in normal operation or free spool mode the feed
system will not work.
4. Pull the winch line to the material to be pulled.
Attach the winch line securely to the wood
material that you want pulled to the chipper.
5. Engage the winch by moving the handle to the
side then up to the top position. If the machine
has the winch control panel, position the switch
in the winch engaged position.
6. Make sure everyone is clear. Use the winch
control valve or the radio remote control (if
applicable) to now pull the wood material towards
the machine. Check that the controls operate in
the correct direction.
