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 cab-
le 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 bet-
ween 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 conditions.
• Check that the winching chains are carefully at-
tached. Do not attach the wire cable directly to
the load.
• The safety coefficient must be 2.5 for cable-type
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 hau-
ling. Do not use the winch for lifting loads.
The noise level from the engine should not exceed 70 dB. Check the engine noise and
wear ear protection if it exceeds 70 dB.
