Releasing the brake:
Lower the tractor winch until it is resting on the ground with its support plate. Release the
brakes by slowly pulling the red string (Page 10, fig. B1).
Warning!
When the cable is under
load, the brakes must
only
be released with the red string. Keep a safe distance!
Side-pulling the cable:
When the brake is released, the cable can be paid out. Important! Adjust the drum speed
reducer, so in fact that the drum does stop
immediately
when arriving to the log that is to be
moved (Page 11, fig. G).
Towing/side-pulling:
Choose a safe position to stand, which gives you a good view of the load.
Activate towing by pulling the green string (Page 10, fig. B2).
Always pull the green string, so the clutch part (Page 11, fig. H) do reach the welded stop,
through that unnecessary wear of the clutch lining will be avoided.
Hauling:
Attach the log firmly to the chain tree and lift the tractor winch until the ends of the logs are
free of the ground.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE:
Lubricate the cardan shaft minimum once a week.
Lubricate all slide connectors once a week.
All ball bearings are permanently lubricated.
The chain must be greased every 50 working hours or minimum once every year (page
10 fig E). We recommend Stuctobis® BHD or oil of same quality. The machines must be
detached.
Take care that no oil or grease falls on the clutch lining.
Grease daily the upper cable roller as required through the lubricating nipple on the
turning plate and put daily grease on the support turning plate.
To save pulley-power in the operating strings for clutch and brake it is very important to
grease the nylon wheels with a reliable oil, we can recommend type WD40® or similar
quality (Page 10, fig. F).
SETTING THE BRAKE.
The brake is preset at the factory, so it is not necessary to adjust the start of the application.
After prolonged use, there is some wear on the brake band, so an adjustment or new brake
band is necessary. Adjustment is done when the brake lever is pulled, and the wire can be
pulled out slightly. Distance between the nut and brake levers must be 10 mm.
