SYSTEM OPERATION
The Drinking Water Discharge Winch System can be operated by competent individuals by following the
established procedures.
7.1
Start-Up
The following is the start-up procedure for the winch system operation:
(1)
Check that the hydraulic hoses are properly connected to the hydraulic power package and to the winch and
levelwind, and that the electrical connections are in order. Check the sight gauge on the reservoir to see that it is
filled with oil.
(2)
Place the valve handles in the neutral position (disc-brake ON, and winch joystick and levelwind control in
neutral).
(3)
Push the green START button on the electrical enclosure to start the electric motor and pumps. If the motor
does not start, one of four conditions may be present:
- Low oil level. Check the sight gauge and fill the reservoir if necessary.
- High oil temperature (above 180°F). Allow the oil to cool down below 180°F.
- Low oil temperature (below 45°F). Turn on the oil heater with the switch on the enclosure. The
red indicator will light when the heater is on. Note: The thermostat on the heater should be set
for 100°F.
