UNIVERSAL HYDRAULIC WINCH
INSTALLATION
1. Lower auger completely and remove the
hand winch.
2. Attach the hydraulic winch to the winch
mount using existing hardware if possible.
Westfield TF Augers only: The
hydraulic winch uses a different set of holes
than the manual winch, see Figure 1. The
hydraulic winch drum will be centered on
frame when installed properly.
All other Augers: Replace hand winch with
hydraulic winch and line up so cable indexes
properly. Use existing hardware if possible.
3. Remove cable from hand winch. Install
onto hydraulic winch. The cable must be
wound on the top side of the winch drum
(Figure 2 and 3).
Hydraulic Safety
Always place all tractor hydraulic controls in neutral before disconnecting from tractor or working on
hydraulic system.
Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps, or
cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high-pressure. Such repairs will fail
suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece
of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic
fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the
skin surface.
