WARNING!

 

 

Before starting to operate the tractor winch, you must have read this manual thoroughly. 
The owner of the winch is responsible for ensuring that all operators and assistants are 
familiar with the tractor winch’s operation. 
 

Caution!

 

 

1.  Never attempt to use this tractor winch without sufficient training. 

 

2.  Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. 

 

3.  Before starting the tractor winch, make sure that the cable is in good condition. If the 

cable breaks, cable fragments may be thrown in all directions. Ensure that all persons 
are at a safe distance from the cable while the tractor winch is in use. 

 

4.  Only handle the cable after stopping the p.t.o. 

 

5.  Do not transport logs directly on the cable. Always use the proper chain boom  

(photo D page 8). 

 

6.  Inspect the moving parts. They must be correctly fixed and in good condition. All safety 

guards must be correctly fitted. 

 

7.  This machine has been constructed to skid and push together timber that has been 

felled and is lying on the ground and may not be used for other purposes. The machine 
must not be used to pull vertical trees or trees that are wedged or jammed, as this is 
extremely dangerous. 

 

8.  Make sure you are familiar with the controls and know how to turn off the tractor winch 

and tractor engine in case of emergency. 

 

9.  Children and untrained persons must not be allowed to operate the tractor winch. 

 

10.  Do not wear loose clothing, sleeves, ties or long, uncovered hair in the vicinity of the 

machine. 

 

11.  Prior to working make sure the tractor winch and tractor are standing on a level piece of 

ground. 

 

12.  When operating the tractor winch with the operating strings you should stand at a 

sideways distance of least 5 m from the machine. (page 8 photo A)  

 

13.  Do not let the tractor run unattended. 

 

14.  Use only original spare parts from Fransgård, and do not alter the equipment in any way. 

 

15.  All persons working with the winch must be taught about the dangers and how to prevent 

accidents. 

 

16.  Be observant at all times!  Do not work with the tractor winch when tired or exhausted. 

 

17.  Do not operate the winch over side-angles of more than 30

 (

photo A page 8). 

 

18.  Disregard of the warning labels on the machine or the safety precautions in the manual 

could lead to serious or fatal injuries. 

 

19.  The tractor must not be set in motion while the lower log ends (of the towed logs) are still 

resting on the ground. If the logs have not been raised and then strike an obstacle, this 
may cause the tractor to tip over, resulting in serious injury. 

 

20.  Set the machine on a firm and level basis. It is the responsibility of the owner and user to 

make sure that any defects arising from use of the machine are repaired and that the 
safety conditions are met.
