Make sure that the wire is wound
uniformly on the drum. The traction
should be at least 4500 N.

MAINTENANCE
To keep the winch in good condition run it
and inspect it once a month according to the
following instructions.
1. Run out about 5 m of line/steel wire with
the winch motor. Disengage the winch
drive and pull out at least another 15 m of
line/steel wire. Make sure to always have
at least 6 turns of steel wire or 10 turns of
synthetic fibre line left on the drum.
2. Engage the winch drive and wind back
the line/steel wire on the drum. Check
the line/wire for damage while it is
wound back on the drum. To reduce the
risk of the line/wire getting pinched and
damaged it should be tensioned with at
least 4500 N during the rewinding.
LUBRICATION
All the moving parts on the product are
permanently lubricated at the factory with
high temperature lithium grease. No further
lubrication is necessary in normal conditions.
Oil the wire regularly with thin oil that has
a good penetration capacity. Check the wire
regularly for damage and broken threads.
Replace the wire if it is damaged.
Familiarise yourself with the controls on
the product and how to use them. Plan the
exercise. Learn not only to see, but also to
hear how the winch works with different loads.
Learn to recognise the sound of smooth and
firm winching with light and heavy loads,
including the sound of shock shifts caused
by the winched load. In time the sound and
way the winch works will become familiar –
winching will become a routine job.
WINCHING
NOTE:
Wind the line back on the drum after use
with the lowest load, 4500 N.
1. Apply the parking brake on the vehicle
and wedge the wheels.
2. Pull out the wire to the required length
and anchor it. The winch drum can be
released, which permits fast unwinding of
the wire. The clutch lever on the gearbox
is used as follows.
– (A) Disengage the drum by moving
the clutch lever to the OUT position.
The drum can rotate freely when the
wire is unwound.
– (B) Engage the drum drive by moving
the clutch lever to the IN position.
The winch is now ready for use.
3. Check that the wire and any auxiliary
equipment is correctly arranged before
starting to winch.
4. Connect the hand control. For safety
reasons the winch should if possible be
operated from the driver seat.
5. To start winching, start the engine,
release the parking brake, select neutral,
and let the engine idle.
6. Control the winch with the switch on the
hand control (IN and OUT).
