5.3 Positioning the drawbar to the PTO shaft
The length and height of a tractor drawbar may need to be adjusted to match the implement to the
manufacturer’s specifi cations. It is important to make these adjustments to ensure that the PTO drive-
line does not compress or separate during operation.
To make this adjustment:
• Mount the winch to the tractor!
• Pull the two halves of your shaft apart and respectively mount them to the tractor and to the winch
and perform a crosscheck as shown below (Fig. 6)
• For increased safety make sure that a minimum wrapping of 200mm (b) occurs when pulling the
hitch bar all the way up and down. With the shaft parallel to the ground also make sure that the shaft
doesn’t hit the stand (wrapping (a) should be still at least 20mm).
• For shortening of the PTO shaft, fi rst cut the telescope off and then the external one by the same
length.
• Grind both shaft ends, clear chips and dust away and oil all slinding contact areas before fi nal
assembly.

5.4 Wire rope installation
DO! DON‘T!
Remove the small protection grid and then take the cap off. Now turn the drum to the right position
for releasing and removing the drum screw.
Insert the wire rope through the inlet fairlead (on top) and feed it to the drum by means of the upper
block. (Fig. 9, Pos. 8).
In order to transfer torque from the tractor to the winch you must use a driveline with torque
overload clutch coupler. Mount the winch to the tractor and then secure the stabilisers underne-
ath the lower hitch points. Finally incline the winch by approximately 20° using the upper hitch
bar.
