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 properly connected to the tractor, you can start unreeling the wire
rope. Pull the wooden lever on a red string (pos. 3, figure 11) and thus move lever 2 to the
OF
F position (figure 11). The brake is released and the wire rope can be unreeled. In case
you have just installed the wire rope on the drum or you have noticed that the wire rope is
not installed properly, you should unreel the entire wire rope and then reel it back tightly,
as described in the beginning of this chapter.
6.
Towing
Figure 9
Lower the winch on the ground so that the winch is supported by a hard surface. Engage
the hand brake. Never start towing if a winch is not in a stable position on the ground.
Before you pull the black string (pos. 10, figure 11), check that the string is installed
properly between the small pulleys (pos. 9, figure 11). The lever (pos. 1, figure 11) should
return to its original OFF position as soon as you stop pulling the st
ring (pos. 10, figure 11).
If this string is not wound properly, it may happen that you will not be able to stop the
towing, which can lead to an accident.
Any interference with the activation mechanism which would prevent synchronous
operation of clutch and brake is prohibited. It is also forbidden to pull the red brake string
(pos. 3, figure 11) during the towing.
It is forbidden to lift the hydraulic linkage during the towing (it can lead to a malfunction of
the PTO shaft).
