Low output horsepower.
Step 1.
Check if engine is not coming up to rated performance.
Lock winch brake so that output shaft of converter is stalled and will remain stalled when
engine throttle is opened wide. With the engine throttle wide open and the converter shaft
stalled, measure the engine rpm by the use of a tachometer. If the engine does not climb up

thoroughly checked.

Inspect for improper fluid in converter.
