WINCHING
1.
The winch is equipped with a clutch, which will be used by the control rope. When the user draws the control
rope, the winch begins to draw in the cable. Winching will stop when the rope is released.
2.
The end of the cable drum is equipped with a friction clutch, which slips, if the load is too heavy. This prevents
cable break or damages if the load gets caught.
3.
The cable can be pulled out when the latch is released.
4.
Once the latch is released, it will stay released until the operator has engaged it again by pulling on the latch rope.

especially careful when working on slopes. Avoid winching sideways at angles exceeding 30 degrees. Use diverting
pulley which is fastened to the tree if needed. (See fig. 9.)

The safest place for the operator is at the back left side of the winch, allowing good visibility (See fig. 7). Take care
that there is no one in the working area.
3.
The tractor must have a ROPS cab and rear end weights.

working in steep terrain. Ensure nothing is blocking the path of trees.
