Fit the rope into the special groove and tighten the screw (Pos. 9). Now start spooling as described
under pulling procedures.
In order to avoid possible rope damages keep winding up for a while after complete spooling of the
entire rope length, as described under section “Spooling of the wire rope”.
5.4.1 Unwinding the wire rope
After you have correctly installed the winch, you can start unwinding the rope. However, it is impor-
tant that you first switch the rear lights of your tractor on, so that the right voltage is available in
your power connection.
• Disengage the brake by pressing the white push-button (2) [Fig. 7].
• Press the black push-button (1) [Fig. 7] to engage the brake and start unwinding the rope. If no
unwinding is possible, you may have a pressure problem in your system (not enough operating pres-
sure). In this case, start the driveline to activate the hydraulic pump.
• Press the white button again and start pulling the rope. If the remaining rope is not duly spooled,
keep unwinding all of it up to the last 3-4 winds and then rewind to the required length.
• If your timber gets stuck against an obstacle (tree stumps or roots) during skidding, you may have
to stop winching if the obstacle cannot be bypassed. In this case, a large amount of residual force
may bild up in your wire rope causing jerky unwinding. If this happens, repeatedly press (2-3 times)
the white push-button (1) at very short intervals in order to release the tension from the wire rope.
5.4.2 Checking the wire rope quality
• Stricly use brand new ropes.
• Make sure to use ropes of approved quality, suitable strength and compliant to the specifications
identification label.
• Do not use longer ropes than instructed in the technical specifications of this manual.
5.4.3 Winding up the wire rope
Completely spool the rope making sure to wind it tightly and evenly onto the drum and avoiding both
overwinding and underwinding.
Correct winding is accomplished by:
• Simply pulling of a load
• Firmly attaching one end of the cable to a stable anchor-point suitable to withstand the pull force
while the rope starts spooling onto the drum pulling tractor and winch towards the anchored rope end.
It may be convenient to carry out this operation either on a slight gradient with the idled tractor facing
uphill or alternatively with braked tractor.
Wind the rope tightly and evenly onto the drum. Before putting your winch to
work spool the rope completely off and then rewind it again! Check the rope over
for any signs of damage, flattening, broken wires, wear and corrosion.
