GENERAL Dear customer! We are pleased that you decided to purchase our machine. Forestry winch is a forestry machine of modern design, whose construction enables effective and safe work in the forest. Work in the forest can only be safe if you follow the instructions for safe work and use. Upon following all instructions, the machine will operate flawlessly, and you will avoid unnecessary costs.
INTENDED PURPOSE The machine is intended exclusively for normal work in the forest. Any other use outside of this framework holds as unintended. This winch can only be used for pulling loads on the ground. The manufacturer is not liable for damages, resulting from unintended use. In this case, the user is the sole bearer of risk.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE WORK When operating the winch, you must devote maximum attention to safety! To prevent accidents, carefully read and follow the instructions below. 1. General: 1. Apart from the instructions in this user manual you should also observe all general safety and accident preventing regulations.

14. If the tractor is not blocked against moving with a brake or wheel blocks, no person should be standing between the tractor and the winch. 15. Do not touch the winch until every part of the winch has stopped. 16.

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 28. Do not use the winch for unintended purposes (lifting loads, etc.).(Figure 5) 29. Tractor driver and assistant must continuously communicate during their work. 30. The winch operator must continuously observe the load during the tow. If this is not possible due to the configuration of the terrain, the assistant should help.
38. The hitch on the winch is designed as a work tool and should not be used on public roads Oscillating rope Tow rope Torn-off-pulley Triangle area Pulley Danger area Tree Figure 6 Figure 7 PTO shaft Only PTO shafts, which are prescribed by the manufacturer, can be used. Cardan protection pipes and protection funnels and connection protection must be installed, which must be in perfect condition.
PTO shaft adjustment Length of PTO shaft needs to be adjusted for different tractors (figure F1-F4). For winch 65H/85H/65Hpro/85Hpro, the use of PTO shaft with torque 695 Nm (type W 400E Walterscheid) is appropriate. Ascertain the accurate length in the following manner: Shut down the tractor.
Tractor mounting When connecting the winch, do not stand in the danger zone! Forestry winch can be connected to any tractor, which has a three-point hitch, with connection frame of category I or II. Appropriate construction also enables easy connection to the tractor with automatic connection rods. Connect the prescribed PTO shaft and secure cardan protection with a hang chain.
Wire rope unwinding When the winch is properly connected, we can begin with unwinding of the wire rope. On tractors without a socket with constant current of 12 V, we can connect a supply cable in the socket, which is usually made for connection of light equipment on the trailer. Because of this, we have to turn on the position lights.
Winch controler We can start pulling, when the winch is on the ground and properly strengthened. Apply the hand brake on the tractor. If the PTO shaft is engaged and the hydraulic system requires pressure, we can start pulling. Press the right button on the steering console (pos. 2, figure 8).

Figure 8a Before switching off the SMART 3in1 function, turn of the tractor's engine and disconnect the power supply to the winch. Remove the protection on the winch (1, Figure 8a). Loosen the screws on the electric box (2). Move the switch 1(TERRA), 2(SMART 3in1) on the switch panel to position OFF. Close the box and tighten the screws (2).
SETTINGS Figure 9 1. Clutch Before any modification on the winch, shut off the tractor engine! Pulling force on the clutch is factory set and does not require to be changed. Due to wear of friction surfaces, distance between clutches needs to be set after a certain period.
Brake At the end of pulling, the differential brake automatically engages. Brake is factory set to brake force, which is 25% greater than the nominal towing force of the winch. By wear of the brake pad, the brake force changes, therefore it has to be set again. This is needed, when the brake does not hold the load as described in the beginning of this paragraph.
Drive chain tensioning After a certain period of operation (10 hours), the drive chain stretches; therefore it must be checked frequently and tensioned, if required. It must be checked every 500 hours of operation. Tensioning is done according to the following procedure (figure 12)! First, disengage the PTO shaft and turn off the engine.
Operation The device begins to unwind the wire rope automatically, when you release the wire rope or when the function for wire rope unwinding is set on the brake. The wire rope is being unreeled until you stop the unreeling function on the winch. After the machine is turned on, the steering system ensures the engagement of the hydraulic cylinder in the unwinding position.

Diameter of the reeling machine wire rope During the construction of the wire rope reeling machine certain parameters were considered, which should be taken into account while using it to assure a quality lifetime of the machine. The radius of the wheel edge must be identical to the diameter of the wire rope. For winches with different traction forces use the following wire ropes: MODEL 65Hpro...
Adjusting the unwinding speed The 55Hpro winch is equipped with a valve for adjusting the unwinding speed. With the 45Hpro winch, this is available as optional equipment. The unwinding speed of the wire rope is adjusted according to the following procedure: To increase the unwinding speed, rotate the valve (5, Figure 12b) in the counter-clockwise direction.
Maintenance lubrication Before proceeding with maintenance work, shut down the engine, remove the key and wait for all moving parts to stop. There is a grease fitting on the winch, which enables greasing of the upper pulley and guide. The second grease fitting is on the housing of the lower pulley. Greasing is required every 60 hours of operation.

Pressure is fluctuating When the electromagnetic valve Replace or clean the pressure valve is turned on, it is normal that the pressure fluctuates. If the pressure fluctuates while the valve are not being turned on or off, it means the pressure valve is damaged or that there are impurities in the valve.
