3.
Several logs can be hooked up and winched in at one time by means of keyhole sliders on the cable. The skidding
chain should have a pin on the end, which makes it easier to pass the chain underneath the tree. See fig. 10.
When using the lower diverting pulley make sure that it follows the direction of the
cable. Otherwise, the cable will be damaged, when it is pressed between the snatch
block and the lower diverting pulley frame.
CAUTION!
When wInching
an unloaded cable, make sure that the finger guard doesn’t rise up
with cable and doesn’t cause cable to crosscut.
CAUTION!

WINCHING
Before using the winch or when the reel runs out of the cable, you must pull the
cable completely out of the reel and spool the cable. See chapter "spooling the cable
to the reel").
CAUTION!
1.
Park the winch and tractor on level, stable ground. Lock the brakes of the tractor before winching.
2.
Before using the skidding winch, make sure that the lower diverting pulley, the upper diverting pulley and
the finger guard move freely.
a.
Release the latch by pulling slightly on the clutch rope.
b.
Draw the cable to the load but avoid twitches. Do not draw out too much cable to avoid loose
spaces when the cable is reeled in.
c.
Start the tractor and turn on the hydraulic system (the PTO). Use the winch with the control rope
and stand in a safe place at a distance of at least 2 m (6 ft) from the winch.
d.
Operate the clutch firmly. Avoid sliding the clutch to avoid warming of the clutch. Stop winching
by letting go of the control rope for the leave. The clutch will slip when the load is heavier than
the selected pull. This prevents damages to the cable or winch. Avoid extra large loads. The winding
speed depends on the number of revolutions of the tractor. Do not wind too fast.
e.
Stop winching when the logs are at about 1,5-3 m (5-10 ft) from the tractor.
f.
Release the latch by pulling slightly on the clutch rope.
g.
Install the cable on the lower diverting pulley.
