The hydraulic winch option allows the operator to safely and easily lower and
raise the auger.

The winch is equipped with a factory preset safety valve that allows the winch to
completely raise the auger, but it will stop once the auger is fully raised.

The safety valve is non-adjustable and does not require any maintenance.

The only item that an operator must inspect is the cable, and if this cable is
frayed or worn, it must be replaced.

Important:

Winch speed is adjusted at the factory. Cold temperatures may cause the winch
to operate slowly.
