HEAD GP-CYL -UTN 10R5980 - Caterpillar

Always winch with cable in straight line behind tractor.For maximum service life of winch, engage winch at reduced engine speed. Heavy line loads will require winch engagements at higher engine speeds.Control line speed by changing engine speed.
Drum Disconnect*
Winch control lever must be in brake OFF position to disconnect cable drum from drive line.Do not reengage disconnect while drum is turning.
WINCH CONTROL
(N) Cable will not move.
(R)(1) Cable will move out with load on cable.*Attachment
(1) Cable will move toward the winch.
(O) Drum will turn in reverse direction to unspool cable.
(R)(2) Cable will move out with load on cable.
(D) Cable can be pulled away from the winch by hand. Winch control lever must be in BRAKE OFF ®(2) position to disconnect cable drum from drive line.
Exercise care with suspended loads. If engine speed is too low the weight of the load may cause it to drop, even though the winch is in REEL IN position.
(1) REEL IN - Pull load toward machine. When released, the lever will return to neutral position.
(O) REEL OUT - Lower light load with power, or moving away from load in first gear. When released, the lever will return to neutral position.
Do not leave in BRAKE OFF for extended periods. When moving away from a load, operate tractor in low gear to prevent over-speeding of winch components.
To reel in or out slowly, engage and disengage clutch, and/or decelerate and accelerate as necessary.
(N) BRAKE ON (NEUTRAL) - Towing, holding load or when winch is not in use.
(R)(1) BRAKE OFF (RELEASE) - Moving tractor away from heavy load, or lowering a load by its own weight. When released, the lever will return to neutral position. Usually enough tension will be maintained with the lever in ®(2). However, some braking may be required to hold a load on a slope, with the tractor moving forward. Use only as necessary to maintain minimum line tension.
(R)(2) BRAKE OFF DETENT - Moving tractor away from heavy load, or lowering a load by its own weight. Operator must manually remove the lever from detent position.
Winch control lever must be in BRAKE OFF position to disconnect cable drum from drive line.Do not reengage disconnect while drum is turning.
(D) DRUM DISCONNECT - Operator can unreel cable by hand. Operator must manually disengage drum disconnect.
Inch loads with engine speed low and tractor stationary. Do not operate for extended periods of time while INCHING.
Inching (Fine Control Operation)
INCHING OUT: 1. Move lever slowly towards BRAKE OFF position until load starts to move. For precise lowering, move lever slightly to engaged or disengaged position as required.2. When Load Is Not Heavy Enough To Lower Itself In The BRAKE OFF Position. A. Direct Drive: Disengage flywheel clutch. Position lever in the REEL OUT slot so load will move when flywheel
