Emergency Stop Reset
(Dwg. MHP2048)
Overload Device (optional feature)
An overload device is available on winches with the emergency
shutoff option. Overload device operation is based on differential
pressure between air motor inlet and exhaust. The overload device
is factory preset to actuate at 150% (± 25%) of winch rated
capacity. When an overload condition is sensed, the valve poppet
closes, to cut off supply air to winch, stopping winch operation. If
an overload shutoff occurs, winch load must be reduced. Reset the
overload valve and operate winch in payout direction to lower
load. Refer to ‘Emergency Stop Reset’ section on page 15.
Overload Valve Adjustment
Refer to Dwg. MHP2216 on page 16.
5/16 in. or 8 mm open ended wrench required.

Checking Overload Valve Setting
1.
Attach load line to a load that is calibrated to maximum load
for which winch is rated.
2.
Move control lever to haul-in position. If winch does not lift
load, adjust the adjustment screw. Refer to ‘Overload Valve
Adjustment’ section on page 16.
Setting the Overload
Attach load line to a load that is calibrated to 150% of winch rated
capacity. Shift control lever to haul-in position.
1.
If overload valve activates, reset overload valve. Winch is
ready for normal operation.
2.
If winch lifts load, lower load. Turn adjustment screw
counterclockwise in 1/4 turn increments until overload valve
activates when control lever is shifted to haul-in position.
After each 1/4 turn, retest winch.
