1 Installation
1.1 General information
All remote control receivers for forestry winches are equipped with a standard 7 pin or 13 pin
plug.
In general, if the make and model of the winch was specified with the order, the
plug will be correctly configured for the customer. However we
strictly
recommend that the wiring between the winch and the plug is checked, to
ensure that it is correct. On the last page of this manual you will find the
configuration of the plug for your winch, please compare this against the wiring
information in the winch user‘s manual.
Once the 7/13pin plug of the remote control receiver is connected to the
corresponding socket on your winch, the unit is ready for operation !
After charging on the LG2 battery charger the transmitter is ready for use. (See section 5.1
for charging instructions)
1.2 Mounting of the receiver
There are 4 holes in the back of the receiver box for fixing the unit to the vehicle with 4 to 5
mm diammeter screws. The holes can be accessed simply by removing the plastic strips on
the top of the receiver housing however, to fit screws into the holes, the lid of the housing
will probably need to be removed. This is done by removing the plastic strips, and then
unscrewing the screws that hold on the lid. After the lid has been removed, the receiver can
then be fixed to the skidder with suitable screws.
If possible please use rubber vibration absorbers that reduces the mechanical stress for the
complete unit (they are available at your service station). Due to the special case
construction the receiver is resistant against splash water and dust.
Please do not screw the mounting screws directly through the top cover
of the receiver. There will be big tensions that can cause a break! Do not
install the receiver directly at the winch without adequate protection
against mechanical and weather impact!
In case you use the system on a detachable winch, mounted on the tractor using a standard
three point attachment point, it is recommended that the receiver is also not permanently
connected to the tractor. If the receiver is permanently connected, and the winch is
detached from the tractor, without unplugging the control cable, it is very likely that the cable
will be torn out of either the plug or the receiver. If the receiver is simply lying in the tractor,
for example, it is less likely that damage will occur.
