Maintaining a safe distance, visually recheck your rigging once light tension (slack taken out
of winch cable) is applied to winch cable.

Setting the HIGH IDLE switch to ON position enables fast speed in heavy-duty winch.
HIGH IDLE should only be used when normal speed operation is too slow while loading
mired equipment or a semitrailer laden with heavy equipment.
Due to the increased speed of winch cable payout, it is not recommended that HIGH IDLE
be used for loading an empty or lightly laden semitrailer.

NOTE
Assistant should be in a position to safely monitor the loading operation and advise the op-
erator of progress.

NOTE
Pull winch control lever just enough to allow adequate slack in winch cable to disconnect from
equipment.

If high idle was not utilized during winch cable pay out, skip Step (8).
