1. Mount the winch to the 3-point hitch of the tractor.
2. Raise the winch high enough to get the PTO shaft of the tractor and the winch to a horizontal level.
3. If you have a shortened PTO shaft available, put one end into the drive shaft and check that the distance of the
locking of the other end. Take into account the additional clearance of approx. 20 mm (0.78”).
4. Fasten the other end of the PTO shaft in its place and also move the winch sideways at the same time securing
that the axis does not base.
SHORTEN THE DRIVE SHAFT
Both PTO halves must be shortened by equal amounts.

Shorten the drive shaft
1. First cut the thicker cover to a correct lenght (1). Remember 20 mm (0.78”) clearance. Then cut away the same
amount from the form pipe. Make a similar shortening to the second half of the PTO shaft. Remove the burr with
the file.
2. Connect the PTO shafts within each other. Make sure by moving eevator carefully up and down that the hortening
of the axis is sufficient. Check that the axis have 20 mm (0.78”) latitude.
FASTENING THE CABLE TO THE DRUM
1. Tape the cable end to prevent loosening of the core wires.
2. Pass the cable through the hole in cable guard, over the upper snatch block and then inside the winch.
3. Insert the cable from behind the roll of the drum brake.
4. Pull the cable onto the drum from the left hand side (the same side as the clutch lever).
5. Pass the cable end through the hole in the drum plate, pull about 15 cm (6”), and insert under the wedge of the
cable lock device. See fig. 3.
6. Tighten the cable lock screw.
7. Winch the cable on the drum. REMEMBER THAT THE CABLE HAS TO BE LOADED HEAVILY, WHEN
WINCHING THE CABLE BACK ON THE DRUM.
