Controls shall be marked in accordance with 3.10.5. Winch controls shall provide no interference with the entrance or exit of the driver. All exposed moving, reciprocating and rotating power transmission devices shall be guarded.
3.4.2.16.2 Winch details. Winches shall have an integral, adjustable, automatic safety brake. Each non-hydraulic winch shall have two forward speeds, a neutral position, and a reverse speed. Hydraulic winches shall have two infinitely variable forward speed ranges, a reverse speed range and a neutral position. Each winch shall have a single line pull capacity on the bare drum in accordance with table XVI. The winch(es) shall conform to SAE J706.
3.4.2.16.3 Winch wire core. Each winch shall be wound with not less than 46 m

(b) A cab protector sufficient to protect the back and roof of the cab from a winch cable
whip-backlash accident;
(c) Approach ramps designed for lifting folding gooseneck semitrailers onto the fifth
wheel with the winch, in addition to the requirements of 3.4.2.7;
(d) Fifth wheel tilt limit devices to assure the fifth wheel will be slightly higher than the
top of the approach ramps during loading, unloading, coupling and uncoupling operations.
3.4.2.16.5 Hydraulic winches. Hydraulic winches shall be hydraulically driven without the use of chains or other non-hydraulic, non-gear driven mechanical devices. The winches shall have two speed ranges and shall use either a worm or planetary gear reduction system. The low range low speed shall be not less than 3960 mm (13 feet) per minute at full load on the first layer of the winch drum. The no load speeds in high range shall be at least twice as fast as those in the low speed range. Dual winches shall be mounted to enable both winches to be used simultaneously to load and unload a coupled semitrailer. Each hydraulic winch shall have a
