DUAL WINCH LOADING AND UNLOADING (CONT)
NOTE
Shackles used to tiedown payload may be removed as required and used for the
following steps.
(43) Attach shackle (41) and one front payload tiedown chain (40) to payload lower tiedown lugs. Allow as much
slack as possible in chain. This forms the Y-chain (48) to be used to winch payload off of platform.
CAUTION
Always connect winch cable to the center most point on the continuous portion of
the Y-chain, not the wraparound portion that has a hook on the end, or the hook
may disconnect under load and cause damage to equipment.
(44) Attach drivers side winch cable (36) to center of Y-chain (48) using a shackle (50). (If using 3/4 inch chains,
use two shackles.) Install shouldered pin (27) and cotter pin (26). Winch operator must push down on
DRIVERS SIDE WINCH lever (35) and take up slack in drivers side winch cable (36).
(45) Lower both rear support legs until slightly below mud flaps.
WARNING
A spotter is required for unloading operations. The winch operator must maintain
visual contact with the spotter at all times or injury to personnel may result.
(46) Position spotter on curbside of payload to maintain visual contact with winch operator.
