Founded by engineer George M. Pfundt in 1936, GMP started op-
erations in a downtown Philadelphia building as a specialty ma-
chine shop doing work for the local Bell Telephone company and
for the electric utility company. GMP expanded to a production
shop after landing a contract
with Western Electric Compa-
ny and, subsequently, forming
a close relationship with Bell Telephone Laborato-
ries in Murray Hill, N.J., which enabled it to manu-
facture prototypes of products for experimental
use within the Bell System.
Having outgrown the original factory building, the
company built a 100,000 square foot plant in Tre-
vose, PA (a Philadelphia suburb) and moved there
in 1957. Today GMP is recognized as a premier
worldwide supplier of specialty tools and equip-
ment for the outside plant marketplace. The company's products are known for their
robust design and durability to withstand many years of frequent use.

3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GMP SideWinder is a trailer mounted pull and assist capstan winch,
mounted on a sturdy all-steel fabricated chassis. It is equipped with torsional
suspension axles, stabilizing prop legs, a front telescopic jockey wheel and a
tow bar with a Lunette Ring. The unit is easily pulled by a standard pickup
truck.
The power source is a gasoline engine which drives the fixed displacement
tandem mounted hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic pump is attached to the en-
gine via a bell housing and flexible coupling. One pump powers a hydraulic
motor, through an in-line planetary gearbox, to the capstan. The second pump
drives the rope take-up drum again through a hydraulic motor.
The hydraulic oil tank is fitted with double filtration protection, sight glass and
filler/breather.
Controls are operator friendly and very simple to use. A spring centered lever
controls the direction of rotation of the capstan, while a detented lever engag-
es the take-up drum drive. A control knob is used to limit the rope/cable ten-
sion using the panel mounted tension indicator.
The rope take-up drum is removable and can be split to enable removal of
rope. The capstan can be rotated through 90° on a swivel bracket from the in-
line working position to the transverse transit position when in tow.
When the winch is in the working mode the rear props are extended out of the
chassis to provide greater stability.

5.0 OPERATING PROCEDURE
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL PERSONS USING, OPERATING OR MAINTAINING
THIS WINCH BE FULLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT TO DO SO, AND HAVE
READ THE ENTIRE OPERATING MANUAL.
GMP CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MIS-USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
5.1 CONTROLS
The operator controls have been designed to be safe and simple to use, with regard to
ergonomic considerations. The operators control station is complete with the following:
(see section 8)
(a) Control lever for winching in and paying out. This provides bi-directional selection of
capstan rotation. The valve spool has a soft start facility allowing for a limited creep
and inching movement.
(b) Control lever for operation of the rear take-up drum. This lever should be in its oper-
ating position before operating the capstan. If the winch is not being used, this lever
should be returned to its non-operating position, thus saving on fuel and preventing
the hydraulic oil from overheating.
(c) Tension control knob. This can be used to limit the actual pulling tension applied to
the capstan.
(d) Pressure gauge which is also an indication of the pulling tension.
5.2 PRE-WINCHING PROCEDURE
Prior to using the winch for any hauling application, it is important to ensure that the
rear prop legs are extended and lowered in order to level the winch, and that the
front jockey wheel is also lowered to a position where the winch is firm and stable.
The winch should be securely anchored to either a suitable vehicle, ground anchors
or other substantial holding point. The winch should be in line with the direction of
pull.
Refer to the pre-winching maintenance checks in section 6.1.
The capstan must be rotated from the “Transverse” transit position to the In-Line
working position. Ensure that the retaining pin and hair-pin are correctly replaced.
It may be necessary to remove the lighting board. This is accomplished by first
un-plugging the connector from the rear jack on the trailer, and then pulling the
spring loaded release pins. The complete lighting board can then be removed
and stored safely.

5.3 PAYING OUT ROPE
The rope take-up drum should be de-clutched by removing the lynch pin at the end of
the drum shaft, grasping the drum flange, pulling and then rotating. Once the drum is
free from its drive clutch, it is free to rotate on the shaft and the rope can be pulled
manually from the drum.
5.4 STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine manufacturer’s operating and service manual form an integral part of
this manual. It is recommended that these instructions are read and fully under-
stood by all operating personnel before starting the engine.
Before starting the engine, check the fuel level, engine oil level and oil level in hy-
draulic tank.
5.5 PULLING IN
5.5.1 The rope should be wrapped around the capstan such that:
(a) The rope to take-up drum comes off the top of the capstan and is furthest away
from the operator.
(b) The rope to the fiber cable (load side) comes off the top of the capstan, and near-
est to the operator and gearbox. Approximately four to five complete turns are re-
quired.

5.5.2 Operate the drum control lever to engage the drum drive. This should be left in its
operating position at all times that the winch is working. At all other times it is advanta-
geous to return the drum control lever to its non-operating position.
5.5.3 Operate the winch control lever by pulling gently towards the operator. The rope
will now be pulled in and be wound onto the rope take-up drum. The speed of pulling
can be increased or decreased by adjusting the engine speed control. The specific
maximum pulling tension is adjusted by the operator by turning the tension control
knob to suit the application.
When winching is completed, move the take-drum operating lever to the “off” position.
5.5.4 When being used as an assist winch, the drum drive is not required and therefore
the operator should ensure that the lever is in the off position. Capstan wrapping of the
cable should ensure that the high tension side should be nearest to the gearbox and
hydraulic motor.
5.6.0 The winch is capable of being used to “figure 8” fiber cable. The capstan should
be rotated to 30° and locked in place by the supplied bolt and nut as shown in photo
below.
