WINCHING
Before using the winch, you have to pull the cable completely out of the drum and
winch the cable back on the drum with a heavy load. Otherwise the cable will be
damaged.
CAUTION!
1.
Park the winch and tractor on level, stable ground. Lock the brakes of the tractor before winching. Lower
the 3-point hitch so that the dozer blade anchors the winch to the ground. See fig. 9.
Do not let the dozer blade sink too deeply into the ground, so that the PTO shaft is
not damaged.
CAUTION!
2.
Before using the skidding winch, make sure that the lower diverting pulley, the upper diverting pulley and
the finger guard move freely.
Fig. 9.
Anchor the dozer blade to
the ground.
3.
Draw the cable to the load but avoid twitches. Do not draw out too much cable to avoid loose spaces when
the cable is reeled in.
4.
Start the tractor, turn the PTO on. Use the winch with the control rope and stand in a safe place at a distance
of at least 2 m (6 ft) from the winch. Use the upper snatchblock when winching.
5.
Operate the clutch firmly. Avoid sliding the clutch to avoid warming of the clutch. Stop winching by letting
go of the control rope for the leave. The clutch will slip when the load is heavier than the selected pull. This
prevents damages to the cable or winch. Avoid extra large loads. The winding speed depends on the number
of revolutions of the tractor. Do not wind too fast.
6.
Stop winching when the logs are at about 1,5-3 m (5-10 ft) from the tractor. Install the cable on the lower
diverting pulley.
