Winching:
Lower the winch so that it rests on the butt plate. Activate the tractor PTO set it to run at approx. 500
rpm.
Unlock the cable drum, by pulling the cable drum latch.
Pull out the desired length of cable towards the logs that are to be pulled.
Tie the forestry chain around the log, and lock the forestry chain either on to the hook or in the slot of
the slider/choker, which has been previously installed properly on the cable( as per Fig. A , above),
Never wind the cable directly around the log that you wish to pull, since this will permanently damage
the cable. You must only use the choker chains, for this purpose.
Return to the tractor, Flip the cable drum locking latch so it will ride on the cable drum sprocket, and
prevent the load from slipping, if the engine on the tractor was to stall. Then position yourself at a
distance from the winch and where you have good view of the logs being pulled and are away from
any flying stones or debris that could be projected as the logs are being pulled in.
Fig. C
Pull the Green power cord slowly to engage the clutch and begin the pulling process. Make sure that
you pull this cord so that the clutch arm lever comes to rest against its stop (as indicated by the arrows
to the right in
fig. C ).
If an obstacle is hit, the clutch will slip, when this occurs, release the Green power cord, all winching
action will cease, enabling you to go and remove the obstacle and then resume operation.
When the logs have been brought up to the winch, remove the chains from the cable and/or
end hook.
Attach them to the tow bar.
When attaching logs to the tow bar on the skid plate, keep enough
slack on the chains so the logs will not bind against the skid plate when making turns (this will
bend the tow bar), also make sure the butt ends of the logs are lifted off the ground when the
winch is raised with the three-point lift of the tractor, to avoid tipping over, with the tractor, if
an obstacle is hit
Do not haul logs directly with the cable, always attach the forestry chains to the tow bar, this
will lower the center of gravity of the tractor and prevent tipping over with the tractor.
Furthermore this will prevent damaging the cable, top pulley, and main shaft of the cable drum,
since the clutch will not release when the cable drum locking latch is engaged.
