Commissioning and operation
Capstan winch 1800, 1200, 400
You must fasten the capstan winch higher than the attachment
point on the load. In this way you avoid the load pushing into
the ground. Note that the anchor point strength must be at
least twice the capstan winch traction and the capstan winch
must be able to move freely.
In order to anchor the capstan winch:
›
Pull the round sling through the fastening eye.
›
Guide the round sling around the tree or another fixed object.
›
Mutually connect the round sling with the load hook.
Fastening the load
It is permitted to pull the following loads with the capstan winch:
vehicles that are stuck, trees, dead game, construction materials, cables
or lines.
In order to fasten a load, observe the following instructions:
›
Fasten the load with suitable lifting tackle to the free rope end.
›
Observe the information on the type plate regarding the correct
type of pulling rope.
›
Only use the recommended accessories.
›
Observe the performance limits of the machine and the pulling rope
(see “Technical specifications” on page 94).
