In order to transfer torque from the tractor to the winch you must use a driveline with torque overload 

clutch coupler. Mount the winch to the tractor and then secure the stabilisers underneath the lower 

hitch points. Finally incline the winch by approximately 20° using the upper hitch bar.

5.3   Positioning the drawbar to the PTO shaft

The length and height of a tractor drawbar may need to be adjusted to match the implement to the

manufacturer’s specifi cations. It is important to make these adjustments to ensure that the PTO drive-

line does not compress or separate during operation. 

To make this adjustment:

• Mount the winch to the tractor!

• Pull the two halves of your shaft apart and respectively mount them to the tractor and to the winch 

   and perform a crosscheck as shown below (Fig. 6) 

• For increased safety make sure that a minimum wrapping of 200mm (b) occurs when pulling the 

hitch bar all the way up and down. With the shaft parallel to the ground also make sure that the shaft 

doesn’t hit the stand (wrapping (a) should be still at least 20mm).

• For shortening of the PTO shaft, fi rst cut the telescope off and then the external one by the same length.

• Grind both shaft ends, clear chips and dust away and oil all slinding contact areas before fi  nal

assembly.

5.4   Wire rope installation

                          DO!                                                  DON‘T!

Remove the small protection grid and then take the cap off (Fig. 8 pos. 7). Now turn the drum to the 

right position for releasing and removing the drum screw (Fig. 8). Before lossening of the drum screw, 

make sure to engage the brake by shifting the Lever (1) in fi gure (7) to the (AUS) position.
Insert the wire rope through the inlet fairlead (on top) and feed it to the drum by means of the upper 

block.
