Winch Mounted Throttle Control Valve Operation (old style)

Dwg. MHP0566)

Underwound Operation (optional feature)

Underwound operation is where wire rope haul-in or payout is off the bottom of drum. This is a special operation and requires a winch specifically designed for this usage.

Underwound operation requires a reverse bias valve installed in the control valve.

Control valve operation will be opposite as shown in Dwg. MHP1809 on page 13. As viewed from air motor end, lift slider handle up to unlock control lever. Move control throttle handle to the left (counterclockwise) to payout, and to the right (clockwise) to haul-in.

Remote Live Air Throttle (optional feature)

Refer to Dwgs. MHP2043 on page 14.

Provides for remote mounting of winch control at a fixed location at up to 20 feet (6 metres) away from winch motor. Air hoses connect throttle to winch motor to provide winch operation.

Move control throttle handle to the right (clockwise) to payout wire rope and to the left (counterclockwise) to haul-in wire rope. Avoid sudden movements of control valve to ensure smooth operation of winch.

Remote Pilot Pendant Throttle (optional feature)

Refer to Dwg. MHP2233 on page 14 and MHP1311 on page 15. Provides for remote winch control at distances of up to 50* feet (15 metres) away from winch. The pendant pilot control throttle is a two lever movable control station for winch operation. Pilot pressure from pendant pilot control throttle activates winch control valve. The winch control valve, located on winch motor, controls motor speed and direction of drum rotation. Direction of rotation is determined by the pendant lever depressed.
