Boom Head-Mounted Winch
Capacity:
The boom head-mounted winch maximum load capacity is shown on the
standard carriage capacity chart. However, maximum capacity may be used
only in areas where it does not exceed capacities shown on standard
carriage/fork capacity chart (located on dashboard). Also note that maximum
winch capacity is less than carriage/fork maximum capacity. Capacity rating
is based on load being lifted and suspended vertically from the boom and
with no load on forks.
Observe the following Special Precautions:
• Never drag the load; lift vertically.
• Use tag line to guide and steady a suspended load. Tag lines must be
long enough to keep helpers clear of load and handler.
• Beware of wind. Wind can cause a suspended load to swing and cause
dangerous side loads - even with tag lines.
• Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent load from swinging.
• Weight of all rigging (slings, etc.) must be included as part of load.
• Do not attempt to use handler frame-leveling to compensate for load
swing.
Attachment Tilt Controls:
Figure 13-6

Installation Procedure:
1. Install winch on boom head and connect hydraulic hoses at winch motor.
2. Position winch hook directly above balance point of load and secure using
appropriate rigging.
Operation:
• Attach tag lines to load and transport load to delivery site.
• While helpers guide load with tag lines, position load at delivery point.
