Cable and operating instructions
The service life of a cable depends mainly on how it is handled and maintained.
Use only the cable type specified by PRINOTH.
The cable is a product of high technical quality. Although the cable is very sturdy, it is neverthe-
less prone to damage if used improperly. At all events, do not allow the cable to rub against or
even wind around solid or sharp-edged objects (stones, rocks, steel, etc.). The cable should nev-
er come under tension with a sudden, jerking movement.
Examine the cable at regular intervals. Do not carry out cutting or welding near the cable.
When not in use, store the cable on a drum, to prevent it from being run over and damaged by
other vehicles.
The cable must be cleaned and lightly lubricated regularly. The cable should not be treated or
come into contact with acids or other aggressive substances.
Use cleaning agents with volatilising properties that attack the lubricating grease and change its
friction coefficient only very sparingly.
When driving a snow groomer on steep slopes with AUTOMATIC winch mounted, take the great-
er weight, higher center of gravity and related properties into account.
When using the AUTOMATIC winch, the snow groomer must perform alternating left and right
turns.
Keep track of the control instruments at all times, and pay particular attention to the cable load
indicator on the display.
