SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The machines may only be used by qualified operators.
Prior to operating this winch, make sure that the tractor and the winch are on a stable, level surface, to
avoid tipping over, when the unit is under load. The user is responsible for assuring that no unauthorized
persons are in the working area. The timber winch must be lowered to the ground when the winch is in
operation.
The steel wire cable should be inspected daily, and if it is frayed it should be replaced immediately.
The protective screen, supplied with the unit, must be installed before you start operating the winch.
The pressure pins (p/n 15503) at pos.3 on page 14, must be inspected for wear at regular intervals or at
least twice a year. If necessary they must be replaced, since the clutch lever may stick with worn pins.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
Mounting to the tractor's linkage system:
The forestry winch is to be mounted on the 3-point linkage of the tractor.
Adjust length of top-link to prevent the protection screen from hitting the tractor's cabin.
Verify the length of the P.T.O. shaft both in working and transport position, shorten if necessary. Inspect the
P.T.O. regularly to make sure all the guards are in good condition and replace if necessary.
Mount the PTO to the tractors PTO output shaft. Connect the safety chain to the machine, so it will not turn
and get caught to any clothing.
REMEMBER! Inspect the PTO safety shield for any damages, before and when operating the machine.
Change the safety shield if necessary.
Adjusting the Lift Arms and top links: The lift arms should be attached to the lower lift arms when the
winch is set on level ground. Then proceed to attach the top link. The top link must be adjusted in such a
way so the winch may sit vertical when it is set to the ground.
Also, make sure that the protection screen does not hit the tractor cab, when the winch is lifted with
the 3-point hitch. If this is the case, adjust the top link accordingly.
The P.T.O must be cut to a proper length, so it does not
"bottom out" and bind. Remove the PTO to perform this
operation. If the PTO is not cut to the proper length, it
may cause damage to the PTO, gearboxes etc. See
illustration for proper measurements.
a = clearance when attached to tractor; should be
30mm /1.20 inches
b = overlap; should be 200mm / 7.87 inches
