35. Before operating the winch, make sure that the winch butt plate is securely anchored
to the ground. In the event of soft ground, steep slopes or when pulling heavy loads,
the tractor must be fastened with an additional rope or chain. This will prevent the risk
of slipping or even overturning of the tractor.
36. Adjust the speed of load pulling and the size of the load to the tractor's power
capacity. You should also pay attention to the inclination of the slope and the terrain
to avoid a rollover and to maintain a safe steering and braking performance.
37. The hitch on the winch is designed as a work tool and should not be used on public
roads
38. During the tow, it is forbidden to stand between the load and the winch as well as in
the danger area between the winch, relay pulley and load. (See picture 7).
