It is the owner’s and operator’s responsibility to adjust winch operating limits prior to using the
winch.
This is a two person procedure, one to adjust the limit switch and the other to operate the winch.
1. Loosen capscrew (86) and rotate the access cover (278) up to expose the adjustment cams (264).
2. Loosen screw (263) on one of the cams (264), upper or lower. (Use a 7 mm wrench)
3. Rotate cam until the emergency stop valve is activated, causing system air to vent.
