Operating Instructions
6.18.2 Winch a Log
WARNING!
Before using the winch, read and understand the
information under Winch Safety on page 42.
If a 48 inch (1.2 m) winch strap does not fit around
the log, the log diameter is too big to fit through the
machine.
1. Raise the winch gear lever to release the winch gear.
For more information, see Winch Gear Lever on page 24.
2. Grip the winch-rope hook and pull the rope out to the log.
See Figure 37.
3. Attach the 48–inch (1.2 m) winch strap to the log, and then
attach the winch-rope hook to the strap. Do not attach the
winch rope directly to the log. A logging choker chain can
be used in place of the winch strap.
4. Lower the winch gear lever to engage the winch gear.
5. Push and hold the winch control lever forward to pull the
log onto the entry chute. Make sure that the log does not
catch on the bottom edge of the entry chute.
For more information, see Winch Control on page 24.
