7.2. PRE- -OPERATION CHECKS
MOUNTING AND USE OF THE LOWER
SNATCHBLOCK
D Usually the logs are winched in through
the upper pulley of the winch. This lifts the
logs and they dig less into the ground. The
weight of the load also pushes the blade
into the ground thus anchoring the winch
and the tractor to the ground.
D The winch has a lower snatchblock. The
main use of the lower snatchblock is to
lower the pulling point. This enables larger
loads to be skidded out . For skidding out
the load the cable is transferred to the
lower snatchblock.
D Several logs can be hooked up and
winched in at one time by means of
keyhole sliders on the cable. The skidding
chain should have a pin on the end, which
makes it easier to pass the chain
underneath the tree. See fig. 24.
When using the lower snatch
block make sure that it follows
the direction of the cable.
Otherwise the cable will be
NOTE!
damaged, when it is pressed
between the snatch block and
the lower snatchblock frame.
When wInching an unloaded
cable, make sure that the
finger guard doesn't rise up
with cable and doesn't cause
NOTE!
cable to crosscut.
