SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINCHES
Check that the wire cable is in good condition
before using the winch (check for corrosion,
sharp bends, breakage and thickness of
strands). If a cable snaps, it can whip towards
the operator or away from the winch.
Operate the winch with a guide cable at least 2
meters away to the side of the machine. Do not
operate the winch from the tractor cabin unless
a safety net has been installed.
When winching downhill, the pulling must be
done from the side using an additional idler.
When winching on a hill, do not follow the load
from below.
Side-winching must not be done at angles of
more than 30 degrees.
It is extremely dangerous to be in the space
between a load attached to the wire cable and
the winch.
Check that all bystanders are at a safe distance
of at least 15 meters whenever the machine is
running. Place warning signs on approaching
roads.
Never touch the wire cable by hand during
winching.
The maximum load must be adjusted to condi-
tions.
Check that the winching chains are carefully
attached. Do not attach the wire cable directly to
the load.

fasteners and 2 for chain-type fasteners.
Disconnect the transmission before examining
the machine in the case of any faults.
Ensure the wire cable is as short as possible
during transport.
The winch may only be used for winching and
hauling. Do not use the winch for lifting loads.
