Power winch
Power winch
Some Iron Horse models are equipped with a
power winch. The power winch can be used in
many different ways, these are described on the
following pages.
Winching from behind (FIG. 45)
When performing heavy winching work, it is
important that the machine is anchored in the
winching direction. The machine is anchored
using the manual winch together with an
anchoring strap (FIG. 45 A).
Loading large logs
The power winch can be used to load large logs.
The easiest way is roll the log with the help of the
power winch (FIG. 46). The timber bunk is turned
and the stake is lowered while the extension stake
is angled downwards towards the ground. The
machine's is placed at 90
0
to the log, the winch
wire is routed over and then under the log and the
winch hook is anchored on the Iron Horse.
The power winch is then started and the log is
rolled up onto the bunk.
WARNING!
The power winch has great tractive
force. If the IronHorse is not anchored it
can overturn when winching!
Look the steering arm when winching
so the steering arm does not start to
move and cause personal injury. The
tractive force of the winch is greater
than the weight of the IronHorse!
NOTE!
Always lock the steering arm with pawl in the
locked position to prevent the steering arm
from coming loose and cause personal
injury
WARNING!
When the IronHorse is used when
winching with the pawl in the released
position the steering arm can some
loose and cause personal injury.
WARNING!
Never use a damaged winch wire.
