HOSE 2626748 - Caterpillar

To insert the ripper into the material to be ripped, adjust the angle of the shank beyond vertical position. This will give the correct tip angle for easy entry into the material. Angle will differ depending upon material being ripped. Lower ripper into the material while moving forward. When desired ripping depth is reached, move the shank forward to obtain the correct angle for best performance. This is usually between vertical and forward positions of shank. Move the ripper shank to the forward or "shank in" position when prying out lodged material. Move the ripper to the rear or "shank out" position when additional clearance between ripper and track is necessary. Shallow ripping is recommended when material is to be removed by a scraper, loader, or dozer.Deep ripping is recommended when material is to be removed by an excavator. Use a longer shank to provide more clearance between the ground and the beam. The longer shank may be used for shallow ripping as well as deep ripping.Shank Angle Indicator
When desired ripping angle is achieved, note location of indicator. To reposition shank to desired angle, move shank until shank angle indicator is at original position.Winch Operation
Make certain personnel are clear of cable when there is a load on the cable. Cable can break and cause personal injury.
Always winch with cable in as straight a line as possible behind tractor. For maximum service life of winch, engage winch at lowest practical engine speed. Heavy line loads will require winch engagements at higher engine speeds than with lighter loads.Line speed is controlled by the engine speed.
WINCH CONTROL CONSOLE(N) Brake On (Neutral)
BRAKE ON (NEUTRAL) - Towing, holding load or when winch is not in use. Cable will not move.
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.
(R) (1)Brake Off (Release)
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. Cable will move out with load on cable.
Do not leave in BRAKE OFF for extended periods. When moving away from a load, operate tractor in low gear to prevent overspeeding of winch components.
(I) Reel In
REEL IN - Pull load toward machine. When released, the lever will return to neutral position. Cable will move toward the winch under power.(O) Reel Out
REEL OUT - Lower light load with power, or moving away from load in first gear. When released, the lever will return to neutral position. Drum will turn in reverse direction to unspool cable under power. To reel in or out slowly, engage and disengage clutch, and/or decelerate and accelerate as necessary.(R) (2)Brake Off Detent
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. Cable will move out with load on cable. Usually enough tension will be maintained with
