1. GENERAL Dear Customer, By purchasing our winch, you obtained the equipment which will provide you with great help in your work. To make operating the machine as safe and pleasant as possible, please carefully read this operating instructions and follow the safety and maintenance guidelines. We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you great satisfaction in your work.
1.2. APPLICATION Logging winch is intended for the agriculture use, especially for pulling the wood. The winch is constructed as a three point connecting piece of the suitable driving machinery. The winch may be used for pulling loads on the ground, only. This operating instructions also describe proper use and maintenance of the winch.
2 . S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S Operating the winch is demanding and dangerous, therefore an absolute concentration and caution are essential. For effective and safe operation please observe the following T A J F U N D .

The operator should control the winch from the safe area (5 m away from the winch). The machine, load, wire rope or other objects which can get thrown towards the winch in case of breakage of wire rope or other pulling means can pose a danger to the operator.

Tractor which powers the winch should have sufficient tire threat depth: at least 40 % left, otherwise installation of tire chains is necessary. Permanent use of tire chains is required when working in the snow or ice in winter conditions. ...

Check that the power source provides 12 V voltage and current protection with 10 A fuses, otherwise the electrical system may malfunction. The minimum cross-section of a single wire from the power source must be at least 2,5 mm².
4. FUNCTION AND OPERATION OF THE WINCH Observe all safety instructions (Chapter: 2.)! Also follow important tips in the frames! 4.1. RELEASE THE WIRE ROPE (PERMANENT BRAKE RELEASE) (Figure 4) Control Console Type A: By switching on the "Wire rope release" switch on the control console, release the brake band so that the drum is released, too, to turn freely.
It is useful to know that at the constant drive power, the pulling power depends on the length of the wire rope coiled to the drum. The strongest pulling power is achieved at the first layer of coils. By multilayer coiling the pulling power decreases progressively. The pulling power changes in inverse proportion to the pulling speed, which is highest when the wire rope if fully coiled.
4.4. INSTALLING A NEW WIRE ROPE (Figure 5) If the winch is mounted to a tractor, first disconnect the PTO shaft, and switch of the tractor engine Remove the triangular shield 2 by unscrewing the screw 3 Remove the cover 6 ...
4.4.1. COILING THE WIRE ROPE TIGHTLY ONTO THE DRUM First, uncoil the wire rope completely and check its quality. Afterwards push the “Pull” button T A J F U N D . O . O . T A J F U N D . O . O . to coil up the wire rope onto the drum (Figure 4).
4.5. SETTING THE WIRE ROPE RELEASE POWER (Figure: 8) The wire rope release power must be set correctly, so the drum stops immediately after releasing the wire rope. This prevents the wire rope on the drum from releasing by itself. ...
4.7. SETTING THE CLUTCH CYLINDER STROKE (Figure: 8) By pushing the »Pull« button, clutch cylinder 8 pushes the drum towards the clutch which starts to turn. When you release the button, the drum returns to its original position. This axial cylinder stroke must be minimal and never larger than 5 mm.
4.8. CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE DRIVE CHAIN (Figure 9) During the operation and under the load, the drive chain stretches, therefore the operator must check and readjust the chain periodically to prevent excessive wear of the whole chain drive. The chain must not be set to tight and chain slack should be set 1 to 3 mm. Check the tightness of the chain by hand, pushing the chain between the chain wheels.
S E R V I C I N G A N D M A I N T A I N I N G T H E W I N C H Regular and proper maintenance is necessary for trouble free and long-life operation of the winch.
