CONTROLS
Get acquainted with the control-
lers of the winch before the use,
tests the stopping functions of
the winch and the tractor and all
other functions. Each function
has to be in perfect condition.
PULLING OUT THE CABLE
• The cable can be freely drawn out if the drum has
not been locked with a latch.
WINCHING
• The winch is equipped with a clutch, which will
be used by the control rope. When the user draws
the control rope, the winch begings to draw in the
cable. Winching will stop when the rope is released.
• The end of the cable drum is equipped with a
friction clutch, which slips, if the load is too heavy.
This prevents cable break or damages if the load
gets caught.

OPERATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the operation instructions
before operating this machine!
It is the owner’s responsibility to
instruct all equipment operators
and support personnel in the
operation of this winch.
1. Choose a horizontal, hard based skidding
route for the tractor. Avoid steep slopes,
especially when winching from the side.
Check that the winching trail is clear and
that the tractor’s parking brake is on. Do not
run the tractor at a high idle when winching.
Maximum P.T.O speed is 540 rpm. Ensure that
the logs can be drawn freely. Be especially
careful when working on slopes. Avoid winching
sideways at angles exceeding 30 degrees. Use
snatchblock which is fastened to the tree if needed.
(See fig. 7.)
2. The safest place for the operator is at the back left
side of the winch, allowing good visibility. See fig.
21. Take care that there is no one in the working
area.
3. The tractor must have a ROPS cab and front end
weights.
• Always position the tractor on a flat ground in line
with the direction of the pull (see fig. 5.). Avoid wor-
king in steep terrain. Ensure nothing is blocking the
path of trees.
• Avoid an unnecessarily strong pulls, the tractor
may roll over.
• Adjust the tractors rpm’s according to the condi-
tions.
• Use a shield between the seat and the winch (e.g.
safety cab or protective screen) if you run the winch
from the tractor seat.
• Use agreed signals when working in groups.
4. When you use a light tractor, there is a very big risk
that the tractor will roll over. To avoid that risk, you
must add extra weight to the front of the tractor.
