SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINCHES

Check that the wire cable is in good condition
before using the winch (check for corrosion, sharp
bends, breakage and thickness of strands). If a
cable snaps, it can whip towards the operator or
away from the winch.
Operate the winch with a guide cable at least 2
meters away to the side of the machine. Do not
operate the winch from the tractor cabin unless
a safety net has been installed.
When winching downhill, the pulling must be
done from the side using an additional idler.
When winching on a hill, do not follow the load
from below.
Side-winching must not be done at angles of
more than 30 degrees.
It is extremely dangerous to be in the space bet-
ween a load attached to the wire cable and the
winch.
Check that all bystanders are at a safe distance of
at least 15 meters whenever the machine is run-
ning. Place warning signs on approaching roads.
Never touch the wire cable by hand during
winching.
The maximum load must be adjusted to condi-
tions.
Check that the winching chains are carefully at-
tached. Do not attach the wire cable directly to
the load.
The safety coefficient must be 2.5 for cable-type
fasteners and 2 for chain-type fasteners.
Disconnect the transmission before examining
the machine in the case of any faults.
Ensure the wire cable is as short as possible during
transport.
The winch may only be used for winching and
hauling. Do not use the winch for lifting loads.
