GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Safety for operators and ground personnel is of prime concern. Always take the necessary precautions to ensure safe- ty to others as well as yourself. To ensure safety, the tractor and winch must be operated with care and concern by the operator for the equipment, and a thorough knowledge of the machine's handling and performance capabilities.

CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING BASIC OPERATION The winch contains an independent, internal hydraulic The joystick produces a signal by a magnetically induced system. The winch case serves as a reservoir and stores voltage as the control lever is moved near the sensing filtered oil for the internally mounted hydraulic pump.
Page 12
CONTROL OPERATION A thorough understanding of the control system is need- ed before any trouble-shooting is begun. Please review the following descriptions of the control system to become familiar with the interaction of all of the control Discharge accumulator oil supply before removing any circuit components.
