The winch has an adjustable sequence valve, which permits the selection of either "no-inch" or "inching" characteristics, during reel out and reel in operations.Inching is the controlled movement of the cable during a reel out operation. The "inching" setting is generally used when the machine and winch are used for construction and pipeline work. This setting gives the operator the control necessary to put an object in an exact position.Where precise control is not necessary, as when logs are moved, the "no-inch" setting may be used.When using the inching setting, move the winch control lever to either the reel in or reel out channel. Move the lever into the channel to start drum rotation. Use the engine speed to control the inching rate. Always use a slower engine speed for better control when inching.The adjustable sequence valve, is set on the "inch" setting at the factory.To Adjust: 1. Remove winch access cover. 2. Remove the plug from the end of the valve. Use a screwdriver and turn the stop assembly. The slot in the stop assembly must be aligned with either the "inch" or "no-inch" mark. Install the plug in the end of the valve. Install the cover.
