ATTENTION!
Loosely wound steel rope can be damaged (stuck, bent) at greater load, so that it is
prohibited to use it again.
Warranty does not apply for a steel rope, which is damaged in such manner.
Once the winch is correctly connected, we start to unwind the wire rope. We do this so that
we pull the wooden handle on the red rope (pos. 2, figure 11) and in this way move handle 1
in direction OFF (figure 10). Brake is released and the wire rope can be unwound. In case
that we just installed the wire rope on the drum or we observe that it is not properly wound,
we unwind the entire length of the wire rope and wind it strong, as given in the start of this
chapter.

Winch controler
Figure 9
Lower the winch on the ground. In this manner, the winch strengthens on
the surface by the board and we engage hand brake. Under no circumstances it is allowed
to start working, before the winch is secure on the ground.
Before starting pulling the black rope, check that it is properly wound between the small
pulleys (figure 12). This winding is correct when the handle (pos. 6) returns in the starting
position OFF (figure 9), after we stop pulling the rope (pos. 5, figure 12).
If the rope is not properly wound, a situation may arise, where the winch towing does not
stop on our wish, which can result in an accident.
Any intervention in the engagement mechanism, which would stop synchronous operation of
the clutch and the brake, is prohibited. It is also prohibited to pull the red rope of the brake
(pos. 2, figure 11) during towing.
During towing, it is prohibited to lift the hydraulic lever system (PTO shaft power takeoff failure
may arise).
