Introduction
When making an analysis of winch performance, be sure that the operation of the followingcomponents is correct.
The tractor engine: horsepower and engine rpm.
The tractor torque converter (power shift machines): oil pressures and leakage.
The output of the winch pump: See SPECIFICATIONS.
The control linkage for the winch control valve: no damage to the flexible cables or no looseconnections.
The hydraulic control pressure: See OPERATIONAL CHECKS (Hydraulic).
The input clutch: the capacity of the clutch must be enough to stall the engine (direct drive) or thetorque converter (power shift).
The directional clutches: they must have the capacity to keep the drum from turning when pulling amaximum load on the cable; in free spool, both directional clutches must release so that the drum canturn when the cable is pulled.

When the force on the hand control lever is less than 19 lb. (85 N), the gauge reading at tap (2) can beless than 250 psi (1720 kPa) when the gauge reading at tap (1) is 250 psi (1720 kPa).

Pull the control lever slowly in the direction of Position (E). The gauge reading at tap (1) must go upimmediately until it is 300 ± 15 psi (2050 ± 105 kPa). The gauge reading at tap (2) must becomelarger with any force increase on the control lever. The maximum gauge reading at tap (2) must be275 ± 15 psi (1900 ± 105 kPa). The gauge reading at tap (1) must read approximately 300 psi (2050kPa).
Because "inching" of the cable is done at the low idle setting of the engine, the pressure readings atlow idle are important. At low idle, the pressure at tap (1) must be 265 psi (1825 kPa) minimum andat tap (2) must be 220 psi (1520 kPa) minimum.
When the force on the hand control lever is less than 19 lb. (85 N), the gauge reading at tap (2) can beless than 275 psi (1900 kPa) when the gauge reading at tap (1) is 300 psi (2050 kPa).
