Use the lower pulley on the winch to prevent any possible tractor turnover,
especially when pulling heavier loads. Pay special attention that the wire rope is
aligned properly in the pulley.
When releasing the loads, do not approach the load until the wire rope is loose or the
brake is released.
When using the tractor with hydrodynamic drive, the operator must, before leaving
the tractor cabin, make sure that:
- supporting legs are lowered and the winch is lowered to the ground and
anchored
- tractor brake is activated
- tractor transmission is in the neutral position
When disconnecting the winch, it is necessary to place the winch on the hard and
level surface. First, the supporting legs must be set in the supporting position and
PTO shaft must be placed in the dedicated holder.
Observe traffic regulations! In case you drive on public roads, also observe all
current regulations for designation of tractor equipment which is connected to the
back of the tractor.
The connector on the winch is intended as an implement and should not be used on
public roads.
Tractor which powers the winch should have sufficient tire threat depth: at least 40 %
left, otherwise installation of tire chains is necessary. Permanent use of tire chains is
required when working in the snow or ice in winter conditions.
Before beginning of the work, the tractor must be anchored well using the winch
board. In case the soft ground does not give enough support, the tractor should be
anchored using additional wire rope or chain to prevent possibility of slippage or
even tractor turnover, especially when working on steeper slopes or when pulling
heavier loads!
The size of the load and pulling speed should be adjusted to the tractor strength and
capability as well as to the inclination of the slope and ground composition to
prevent possibility of turnover and to keep maneuverability and braking efficiency.
