CAUTION
Minimum engine speed for winching operations is 1,000 rpm. Engine speed for normal
operating conditions is 1,800 rpm. Engine speed should be increased to a maximum of 2000
rpm for hot weather or continuous operation. Failure to comply may result in damage to
equipment.
Maintain tension on cable during PAYOUT and INHAUL. This will allow level winding and
prevent damage to equipment.
NOTE
Auxiliary winch will not be used for hoisting

NOTE
The auxiliary winch operating lever has a detent in the INHAUL position for hands--off

This is a normal characteristic of the auxiliary winch.
