    SAFETY Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning and transportation of the winch with the power switched off and all moving parts motionless against accidental operation. The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte- nance, repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure safe operation and no damages to the equipment.

  • Page 8: Mandatory Application Field

    • Do not stand in the dangerous area. Assure that nobody stands inbetween winch and tractor, unless the tractor is safely braked and blocks have been put underneath the wheels to avoid accidental moving. • Do not remove nor start handling timber before the winch has come to a complete stop.
  • Page 9 • CAUTION: it is very dangerous to stand in front of a tree to be felled and winched away. (Figure 1) Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig.

    4. PTO-POWERED OPERATION Use only and strictly CE approved drivelines duly connected and secured in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions. • Never use a PTO driveline without safety shield or with a damaged guard. • Make sure that the shield is of the correct size and length for the drive shaft and is duly mounted on it. •...

  • Page 11: Positioning The Drawbar To The Pto Shaft

    In order to transfer torque from the tractor to the winch you must use a driveline with torque overload clutch coupler. Mount the winch to the tractor and then secure the stabilisers underne- ath the lower hitch points. Finally incline the winch by approximately 20° using the upper hitch bar.

  • Page 12: Unwinding The Wire Rope

    Fit the rope into the special groove and tighten the screw (Pos. 9). Now start spooling as described under pulling procedures. In order to avoid possible rope damages keep winding up for a while after complete spooling of the entire rope length, as described under section “Spooling of the wire rope”. 5.4.1 Unwinding the wire rope After you have correctly installed the winch, you can start unwinding the rope.

  • Page 13: Adjusting The Wire Extension Force

    5.4.3 Adjusting the wire extension force The wire extension force must set accurately, so that the drum stops at once when pulling no longer occurs. This will avoid dangerous drooping and sagging of the wire rope. To adjust the wire extension form: •...

  • Page 14: Clutch

    5.6.1 Clutch Before attempting any intervention, make sure to first switch the tractor engine off and remove the ignition key! Proper clutch settings will ensure optimum pull force. The clutch is set by the manufacturer during final testing of the product before shipment. However, possible wear of the lining may require some extent of adjustment as the time passes.

  • Page 15: Stretching Of The Drive Chains

    6. 7 Fig. 8 Fig. 9 5.6.4 Stretching of the drive chains After the first operation hours you possibly experience some extent of release of the drive chain that will then need to be restretched. Therefore you need to check the chain after the first 10 operation hours for the first time and then regularly every 60 operation hours.

  • Page 16: Checking The Hydraulic Oil Level

    Lubricate the drive chain every 40 operation hours. Use grease suitable for high temperature (it should not melt as common low-price lithium grease) in order to prevent grease contamination of the sliding clutch surfaces. Accurately clean the chain before greasing. Make sure to avoid contamination of the clutch lining with grease as this may lead to a significat loss of the pull force and to early wear of the clutch plates that will then need to be replaced!

  • Page 20: About Hydraulic Oil

    About hydraulic oil Periodically check the oil level inside the hydraulic oil tank. When doing so, accurately avoid contaminating the tank with dirt, wood chips, sow dust etc... Make sure that the winch never runs without oil or with a low oil level. When this hap- pens, air is likely to reach inside the hydraulic loop.

  • Page 21: Disposing Of An Obsolete Winch

    DISPOSING OF AN OBSOLETE WINCH When the winch is fully obsolete and cannot be of any longer use, it should be duly dismounted ahead of discarding. Certain components need deactivation and dismantling in order to assure that no further use is made by other parties and that no worn out parts are recycled for other applications.
