If individual hose lengths exceed 10
feet (3 meters), 1 inch hose
(25 mm) should be installed.
CONNECTIONS
1. The standard motor port size
used is an SAE #10 or 7/8-14
O-Ring.
2. The standard brake port size is an
SAE #4 or 7/16-20 O-Ring on
pneumatic freespool winches.

POWERING OUT OR LOAD
LOWERING CIRCUITS
For applications requiring precise
control of the load, or applications
involving lifting and lowering, the
winch motor has been fitted with a
manifold containing dual load con-
trol valves.
Failure to use this flow control can
lead to an uncontrolled, runaway
load, motor cavitation and/or over-
load due to shock loading.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
1- Tank/reservoir 25 gal./min. recom-
7
mended.
2- Suction strainer., 250 micron rating.
3- Pump. Rating of 2500 PSI 15 gal./min.
4- Directional control valve, 4-way,
spring centered float center spool
with integral relief valve. Rating of
2500 PSI and 15 gal./min. required.
Note: Open center spool with same
ratings may be substituted.
5- Manifold, Dual Load Control Valves
with integral shuttle valve. Rating of
3,000 psi min. load controls set at
800/850 psi with 4:1 pilot ratio.
6- Motor. check ID plate on motor
for specs.
7- Winch Brake.
8- Return filter. 10 to 40 micron rating.
NOTES

A- Installation of a heat exchanger in the
return line is recommended.
B- If total system pressure is regulated
below 2000 PSI the relief valve in the
4-way valve may be eliminated.
C-Systems with pumps capable of greater
than 15 gal/min. require a flow control or
restricting orifice to protect the motor.

THIS SECTION DEALS WITH THE
OPERATION OF THE WINCH AND
PERFORMING A WINCHING OPERA-
TION. READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
CAREFULLY.
The responsibil-
ity for safe
operation of the winch and preven-
tion of personal injury and property
damage ultimately rests with you,
the operator. There is no substitute
for the use of good judgement and
caution in operating a winch.
INSTALLATION AND CARE OF
THE WIRE ROPE
1. The wire rope may be installed in
the overwound or underwound
condition. For flat plate, foot
down installations the under
wound condition is recommended.
2. The wire rope is attached to the
drum by passing the end of the
rope through the hole in the
drum barrel and locking it in
place by tightening the set screw.
THE WIRE ROPE TO DRUM ATTACH-
MENT WILL NOT SUPPORT A LOAD.
A MINIMUM OF 5 WRAPS OF ROPE
MUST BE WOUND ON THE DRUM
BEFORE WINCHING A LOAD.
Observing the following guide-
lines will prolong the life of,
and prevent damage to, the
wire rope.
A.When installing a wire rope roll
out and untangle the rope before
winching it onto the drum. Do
not attempt to install a coiled
wire rope. Learn to recognize and
clear kinking before the wire
rope is damaged.
B. Keep tightly wound wire rope on
the drum. Loose wraps will allow
the rope to penetrate into the
lower layers causing binding and
crushing of the wire rope.
C. Keep the winch in line with the
load. This will prevent the rope
from piling up on one side of the
drum and damaging itself, the
rope drum, or the winch. Do not
attempt to guide the wire rope
onto the drum with your hands
or feet. Instead, stop the winch-
ing operation and reposition
the winch.
