2) Should a Hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be disconnected,
shut-off all pumps and release the pressure. Do not attempt to grasp the hose,
this could cause serious injury.
3) Keep hoses away from potential hazards, such as fire, sharp surfaces,
heavy impact, or extreme heat or cold. Hoses should not be allowed to kink,
twist, curl, crush or bend tightly so that the fluid flow is compromised.
4) Periodically inspect all the hoses for wear, which can cause damage to the
hose and can possibly result in personal injury.
5) The hose should never be used as a handle to move the machinery around.
Stress can cause damage to the hose and possibly cause personal injury.
6) Before replenishing the fluids, retract the system to prevent overfilling the
pump reservoir. Any reservoir overfilled can cause personnel injury due to
excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.

1.) 25 degree left or right from straight ahead (see figure 1). Caution: Exceeding
the maximum line pull rating may overload winch, winch mount, and/or front
mounted receiver.
2.) 15 degree angle up or down from horizontal. (see figure 2).
Winching Tips
WARNING !
Be sure to stay clear of the winch when it is pulling the cable in.
Disregarding this could result in serious injury or death.
* NOTE - Be very careful when winching the logs. When winch is winding in make
sure that it is not being kinked or or wound in one position. While pulling be alert
not to tip machine over.
Be sure the rear dig legs are angled into the ground and that they have a good solid
spot to dig into. This unit can NOT be ran on a paved surface. The unit must be able
to dig into the soil to hold itself in place.

SAFETY TIPS
Isolate winch before putting your hands in or around the fair lead or wire rope
drum (The Danger Zone).
GENERAL OPERATION
The Badger’s hydraulic pump is used to power the winch. The engine must be running for
winch operation. The winch has minimum pulling capabilities at engine idle.
The winch is operated by a manually operated hydraulic switching valve.
• Wear leather gloves when handling winch cable. DO NOT handle cable with
bare hands as broken wires can cause injuries.
• NOTE: When extending winch cable, ensure that at least five wraps of
cable remain on drum under load. Serious personal injury or property damage may
result if this is not done.
• Ensure that all persons stand well clear of winch cable and load during winch
operation. 1.5 times the cable length is the recommended distance. If a cable pulls loose
or breaks under load it can lash back and cause serious personal injury or death.
• Draping a heavy blanket or similar object over the extended winch cable is rec-
ommended as it will dampen any lash back should a failure occur.
• DO NOT operate the winch control when the engine is OFF and a load remains
on the cable. This may put the winch into free-spool mode when not required, therefore
not holding the load.
• Ensure the winch clutch is totally engaged before starting any winch operation.
When engaging or disengaging the clutch it may be necessary to rotate the drum by hand
to align the clutch pin or move hydraulic control lever to unlock winch.
• NEVER disengage the winch clutch under load.
• Store the winch with clutch lever function in the HIGH GEAR position.
• The maximum winch capacity is available on the first layer of rope on the bare
winch drum. During all winching operations it is recommended to unspool the rope back
to the first layer so as to provide maximum capacity and avoid rope damage. Ensure that
at least five wraps of cable remain on the drum at all times.
• The MileMarker winch is a 2-speed unit, low speed for heavy or loaded winch-
ing and high speed for line retrieval.
• DO NOT use the winch to lift, support or otherwise transport personnel.
• DO NOT drive your vehicle to assist the winch in any way. Vehicle movement
in combination with winch operation may overload the cable, the winch itself, or cause
damaging shock loads.
• Shock loads when winching are dangerous! A shock load occurs when an
increased force is suddenly applied to the cable. A vehicle rolling back on a slack cable
may induce a damaging shock load.

Unwinding Winch Cable
To unwind cable by hand, turn top lever to “FREE” (free spool). Turn side lever
to “FREE” (free spool). Both levers should be in “FREE” positions to unwind
cable.
WARNING
• Wear leather gloves when handling winch cable. Do not handle cable with bare
hands. Broken wires cause injuries.
• When fully extending winch cable, make sure that five wraps of winch cable
remain on drum at all times. Failure to do this may cause serious injury.
• Pull off cable by hand to desired length. Connect to load leaving one foot of
slack in cable.
Pulling Load
Turn top lever to “LOW” (lock low gear). Leave the side lever at FREE” (free
spool). This will engage the winch into low gear.
WARNING
• Direct all personnel to stand clear of winch cable during winch operation. A snapped
winch cable will cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Winch cable must be wound onto the drum under a load of at least 500 lbs. or outer
wraps will not draw the inner wraps and damage the winch cable.
OPERATION OF HIGH GEAR
Turn top lever to “FREE”. Turn side lever to “HIGH” (lock high gear).

• Do not overload your winch. Do not maintain power to the winch. Do not
maintain power to the winch if the drum stops. Overloads can damage the vehicle, winch
or winch rope and create unstable operating conditions.
• It is recommended to lay a heavy blanket or jacket over the rope about half way
along to the hook attachment. If a rope failure should occur, the weight of the cloth will
act as a damper and help prevent the broken rope from whipping.
• Remember to move the blanket or coat as winching proceeds, but halt winch-
ing when doing so.
USE OF NYLON SLING & SHACKLE
A shackle should always be used when attaching winch hooks to nylon slings, NOTE: The
shackle must pass through both eyes of the sling. The safe working load of the nylon sling
is based on the use of both eye ends.
USE OF GLOVES
When handling or rewinding the cable always use gloves to eliminate the possibility of
cuts caused by burrs and broken strands. Inspect cable and equipment frequently. The
cable should be inspected for damage that could reduce its breaking strength. A frayed
cable with broken strands should be replaced immediately. Always replace the cable with
a MileMarker recommended replacement part. Any substitution must be identical in
strength, quality, lay and stranding. Never hook the cable back onto itself. Hooking the
cable back onto itself creates an unacceptable strain, breaking individual strands which in
turn weakens the entire cable. Use a sling. Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles as
this causes cable to pile up at one end of the drum.

Set - Up
The Hud-Son Badger is easily set-up.
Use the following instructions to set up the unit.
Check hydraulic oil, lubrication and
fuel levels before operating.
Bar lube tank
Due to the Badger motor being set at a 15oangle,
the proper oil height should read full at the notch-
es in the dip stick. DO NOT go by the manufac-
turers marks. The proper oil level mark has been
notched and painted. The oil quantity will remain
the same as motor specs.

1) The Badger will need to be removed from the
towing unit. Place the Badger at desired location.
a.) Remove the pin from the trailer jack and
rotate to the vertical position. Crank the jack to
lift the coupler from the ball hitch. Remove the
safety towing chains and Badger from towing
unit then level the Badger using the jack.
2) The Badger has 4 legs on its corners. Loosen
the bolts, and the legs will drop to the ground,
re-tighten the bolts.
a.) The drop legs are for stabilization only and
to keep the machine level during operation.
2-B) The rear legs should set on the
ground to stabilize the unit, but not support
the unit off the ground.
3) There are 2 grab legs to the rear of the
machine. Remove the hair pin and hold up
pin. Let grab legs drop to the ground. Insert
the 1/2” hitch pin in the lower hole. This will
stop the grab legs from folding up. See
Figures 1 and 2 on following page.
4) Unhook cable from Badger tail and flip Badger tail off log tray and let it rest
on the ground.

5) Go to the front of the machine.
Remove the 3/4” draw pin that holds the
trailer tongue and towing bolt with the
lock nut. Remove the tongue and set it
out of the way.
The Badger is now set up and ready to
operate.
13
Figure 1
1) Choke and start the engine. Allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes at low speed
to warm up.
The Badger should be ran with the
engine at full throttle for all cutting and
splitting operations.
The choke is not needed to start once
engine is up to temperature.
2) Operating the winch - Refer to winch
operation part of manual page 5.
a.) Hook cable to end of log closest to
Badger using provided choker chain.
3) Once the cable is hooked onto the choker
chain, check to be sure everyone is clear of
the cable and log path.
4) Make sure to put the winch into lock
mode if in free spool mode. Use the
hydraulic lever to pull the log forward with
the winch. You may need to use a cant hook
to roll the log into position if the log does not line up with the trough.
5) When the log is on the trough (figure 5-A) remove the choker chain and move it to the
back end of the log. Then reconnect the winch to the chain (figure 5-B)

6) Adjust the wood length rod to desired length (figure 6-A)
7 a) Pull D-handle to raise log hold down as log enters cut-
ting area while winching (Figure 7-A and 7-A-1)
7 b) Winch the log up the trough through the guard until the
log is at desired length. Release the winch lever
(Figure 7-B)Figure 6-A
Figure 7-A Figure 7-A-1 Figure 7-B
*BE CAREFUL WHEN WINCHING THE LOG. BE SURE THE
WINCH IS ON LOW SPEED AND SAW BAR IS FULLY RAISED
IN UP POSITION.
8) Saw the log. Using the handle push down until the saw bar is close to the log. Push the
toggle switch to start the chain, pull down on the handle and cut the log off.
9) Once cut through, the log will drop. Release the toggle switch and let the handle raise
to start position. The handle is spring loaded to go back up in raised position.
Figure 8-A Figure 8-B
Saw switch
Figure 9-A
* NOTE When you are near the end of the
cut, go a little faster to the end and the log
will drop perfectly into the splitter box.

15
10) Once the log rolls into the splitter box,
use the wedge adjuster handle to set the
height of the wedge. There are many dif-
ferent positions. You can lower the wedge
all the way down to be just a single split or
raise it up to center the log on the 4-way
wedge.
11) Using the splitter lever, forward the log
into the wedge. Once the log is split, push
the lever back to return ram. Use the winch
again to advance the log. Continue this
until the log is winched up as far as possi-
ble. At this point you will need to go back
and winch in another log from the pile.
This log will be winched up the trough until
it bumps up to the existing log. You can
now winch the first log up to be cut and
split. Continue this step until your logs are
done.
Stopping Processing Logs
1) When done, slowly throttle down the
engine and then turn off the engine.
2) Be sure the saw dust is cleared from
under the machine. Clear debris from the
splitter and log tray areas.
Trouble Shooting
The Saw Bar must be in the down position
for any and all adjustments or maintenance.
Log is not lined up to the trough - Use a
cant hook or peavy to roll the log to line up.
Chain is having problems cutting - Chain
needs to be re-sharpened or replaced -
Check tension on chain - Lube Oil (check)
- Make sure bar is not worn out or bent, no
burr on bar.
Winch cable is coming unwrapped - Keep
at least 5 wraps of cable on the winch at all
times.
Cable will not release - Push hydraulic
winch lever in both directions for a couple
of seconds, then release both levers on the
winch side of winch, and free roll the
cable, once cable is released, lock lever
back into place.
* NOTE - Be very careful when winching
the logs. When winch is winding in make
sure that it is not being kinked or winding
in one spot on the spool. While pulling be
alert to not tip machine over if log snags on
pile.
Be sure the rear dig legs are angled into the
ground and that they have a good solid spot
to dig into.
This unit can NOT be ran on a paved sur-
face. The unit must be able to dig into the
soil and hold the unit in place.
Be sure to stay clear of the winch when it is
pulling the cable in. Disregard to this could
result in serious injury or death.

MAINTENANCE FOR CLUTCH
• Most clutch parts do not require maintenance and can not be replaced.
• Bearings are sealed for life of clutch.
• Armature, rotor, and brake wear evenly and cannot be replaced individually.
• Coil cannot be removed.
ADJUSTMENT FOR WEAR
• All Ogura one-piece clutches are adjusted at factory. (no initial adjustment required)
• As adjustable clutches wear, they can be re-gapped to extend overall life.
• If clutch fails to pull in or will not continue to pull in when hot, air gap may need adjust-
ment.
• To make adjustments, you will need:
0.015” - 0.022” feeler gauge
9/16” open-end wrench
Factory setting is 0.016
• Identify clutch model from label located on back of field.
• There are three inspection slots on brake shroud.
• Place feeler gauge in slot between armature and rotor.
• Slowly tighten brake nut until armature and rotor contact feeler gauge.
• Almost all Ogura clutches use 24UNF
brake bolt, thus one turn of brake nut equates to approximately 0.04” of axial movement.
(for reference only: feeler gauge is still required)
• Setting gap towards low range will increase cycle life between adjustments.
• Caution: do not set gap below minimum or clutch may be damaged
• Once gap is set, rotate armature and rotor, check gap with feeler gauge, and make
adjustments as required.
• Apply full voltage to clutch
• Rotate armature and rotor to verify no
contact between armature and brake shroud
• If there is contact, back off brake nuts and retry until there is no contact
