MOUNTING
MOUNTING THE SKIDDING WINCH TO THE TRACTOR USING THE 3-POINT HITCH
The winch can be mounted to the 3-point linkage of any tractor. Power transmission is obtained through universal
shaft from tractor.
NOTE! Never go between the tractor and the skidding winch! DANGER OF
CRUSHING! Make sure there is nobody between the tractor and the skidding winch
when you back up the tractor.
DANGER!
1. Fasten the tractor drawbars to the skidding winch.
2. Fasten the push bar to the skidding winch.
3. Engage the articulated shaft.
4. Connect the electric power if the skidding winch is equipped with electro-hydraulic control.
5. Lift up the winch outriggers.
6. Make sure that
a. the push bar mounting on the tractor is locked (with a support block, if needed).
b. the lock pins are closed.
c. the side limiters are locked.
d. the articulated shaft is of correct length, firmly in place and the shield chains are closed.
the skidding winch outriggers are lifted up.
ASSEMBLY OF THE PTO SHAFT
If the PTO shaft is too long it may get pressed when the three-point hitch is lifted
up. This may cause damage to the bearings of the winch or to the PTO of the tractor.
The PTO shaft must not be too short in any position. The PTO length is suitable, if
the pipes do not reach the bottom.
CAUTION!
PTO is optional equipment.
