Warning
Steel rope must be completely unwound before first use and wind it back on the
generator drum under load.
For instance, we can do this so that we attach the rope to a standing tree and pull the
tractor with slight braking to the tree. This procedure must be done also before trying to
tow, if we towed downhill beforehand or if the rope was wound loosely during towing.
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.
Figure 8
6. Winch controler
We can start pulling, when the winch is on the ground and properly strengthened. Apply
the hand brake on the tractor. If the PTO shaft is engaged and the hydraulic system
requires pressure, we can start pulling. Press the right button on the steering console (pos.
2, figure 8). The wire rope starts winding on the drum. When we release the button, the
winding stops.
If the unwinding of the wire rope does not stop immediately after releasing the button, the
winch is malfunctioning. Immediately stop work and contact service company, because
operating the winch in this case is deadly!
During pulling it is forbidden to lift the winch, because this can damage the connection
PTO shaft on the winch.
In case of ultra vires or danger of accident, immediately press the red button (pos. 3,) to
put the winch in a standstill.
