16 Jan Easy Install Power Lift Kit Instructions for Hud-Son Forest Equipment Oscar 330
Easy step-by-step installation of the Power Lift kit for the Hud-Son Forest Equipment 330.
Normal operation of the winch now we’re ready to go up and down.
Start by lowering our sawmill head all the way down.
Get the cable out nice and loose keeping tension so that you don’t unspool your bail.
Take your vice grips and clamp your cable right here.
Now you can loosen your bail all the way up cable.
All the way out so you can get to this knot that holds the cable
in 7mm wrench and a 6 mm allen wrench.
The 6 mm Allen wrench goes inside and you just take the nut off .
Loosen the nut, and pull your cable out,
Good to go!
Set that aside and move on to removing your winch with a 9/16 socket wrench.
Come in from the back side is the and it’s an easier way.
Your wrench is going to want to drop down to be ready to catch that.
This is our power lift upgrade kit for Oscar 330.
Basically two pieces comes with the manual for the winch.
Both should come in your winch.
Already for mounting your new winch mount.
It so that your terminals face the outside of the mill.
You’re going to want it all the way up to the top or at least as close to the top as you can get.
Now we’re just going to remove our existing push handle.
Half in wrench half in socket.
Put your bolts in half inch inch and take the clamp off.
All right, now we’re going to mount our solenoid onto our plate.
We just put this on before doing this we want to make sure we turn off our battery switch.
Solenoid box comes with two, 4 inch bolts with nuts and washers on them.
Those bolts should line right up with the holes on your plate inside your solenoid box.
It’s easier to open this if you push right here.
Pops open real easy.
There are the tops of the two bolts that you just put in nut driver.
It is probably your best bet to get down in the solenoid box but a dell socket will also work.
This side over here has a couple layers covering your bolt so go ahead and pull them right up and out of the way.
Your wire is back down in then move them out.
Your push handle is going to go in the same spot that your old one was in this is 5/16 bolt.
So with that you just pull your wires up color coded to match yellow and blue.
This is a 10 mm.
When I do this I try to separate the wires from the bolt so they’re not rubbing.
Tighten one down and push the other one away.
Okay, so your wires that come out of the other side your battery wires.
Power wire is going to come up to your battery.
Positive battery terminal that’s 716.
I need to know the negative is going to hook to the same part of the switch that you’re drawing for your motors.
That is 116 this come with dielectric grease on them and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wipe it off before you get into all this.
All right so our wiring is all complete.
We got our tail end of our cable we have a winch right here is not quite lined up where you want it.
That’s the hole you’re going to put your cable in, so now you can turn your battery switch back on and you can hit your switch up or down to get wherever you need your set screw.
Right here it helps to have this hole pretty much straight up and down.
You can get to the set screw with your LP really good right.
There so that set screw most of the time is an E8 in set screw.
This one fits an easy in if it doesn’t you will go to a 3 mm.
Real simple and put your wire down through.
Try not just stick it out of the bottom side because it won’t interfere with the cable and it wraps around so you don’t have to be super tight.
You definitely don’t want it too loose.
You got that now you’ll hit up on your switch.
Kind of keep the cable a little tight and don’t let the cable overlap itself.
To keep it uniform take off your device grips that are holding your cable keep tension on everything.
Put it in your pulley up real easy try to keep that over.
Now when you do all this your cables up on your lift bail might slide over you always want to make sure that those are always pushed over against the nuts on both sides nice and even.
Bump it up.
Everything’s tight and you’re good to go if you have it or can get your hands on it.
Good idea to put some dielectric grease on these terminals to prevent corrosion and stuff.
Like that.
Keep the water off it.
All that good stuff now we’re ready to go up and down.
