Transport:
Lift the winch with the 3-point linkage and proceed with caution.
Avoid sharp turns, to avoid tipping the tractor and/or prevent breaking the forestry chains when the
logs bundle-up against the skid plate.
LOGS MUST ALWAYS BE ATTACHED TO THE TOW BAR WITH THE FORESTRY CHAINS WHILE
IN TRANSPORT POSITION. THIS WILL LOWER THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE TRACTOR
AND PREVENT THE TRACTOR FROM TIPPING OVER, IF AN OBTACLE IS HIT, AND PREVENT
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE WINCH!
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
•
Lubricate the PTO shaft once daily.
•
Lubricate the drive chain once every week with a
small amount
of grease only.
NEVER USE
OIL
, these liquid lubricants may seep down and get on the clutch lining, which is located directly
below the drive chain. No oil should ever be used, since it might penetrate the clutch lining
(15509) surface, and would cause the clutch to slip.
•
Clean off the dirt and grease the TOP Pulley support table, once every day, to enable the pulley
to pivot freely. This will prolong the life of the wire cable and the pulley. Use grease only.
•
Use only original Fransgård replacements parts, do not make any modifications. The drive chain
is a metric chain, which is hardened to avoid stretching under load, other drive chains will
stretch and wear out the main drive gear. The outside wraps of the cable are made of special
hardened steel (Warrington seal). This cable is designed specifically for this application since
most cables are not designed to be dragged on the ground, stones etc. These are just a few of
the several reasons why you should demand and only use Fransgard genuine replacement
parts when servicing your product.
•
Lubricate the cable using a very small amount of grease on a rag and wipe the cable, when it is
fully extended.
AVOID USING OIL SINCE IT WILL IMPREGNATE THE CLUTCH SURFACE
OF THE CABLE DRUM AND CAUSE
THE CLUTCH TO SLIP
.
