Skidders must be immobilised with a sprag brake or the like. If necessary, secure the
tractor with a cable hitched opposite to the pulling direction should the sprag brake
not provide sufficient hold owing to the soil conditions.
22.
The skidding load and speed must be such that, taking the design and nature of the
vehicle, the gradient of the terrain and the soil conditions into account, the vehicle
cannot tip over and steering/braking are not affected.
Make sure that the cable entry is as close to the winch’s pulling direction as possible,
i.e. without lateral deflection if possible. Use a pulley if necessary.
23.
Do not approach the logs in order to unhook the load until the cable has been
slackened by releasing the brake.
24.
When using a tractor with hydrodynamic drive, make sure that the following vital
precautions have been taken before leaving the driv
er’s cab to operate the winch:
•
the tractor’s or winch’s sprag brake has been lowered all the way to the
ground
•
the tractor’s immobilisation brake has been activated
•
the traction drive is in neutral
25.
Make sure that the winch is only parked on a level surface that is capable of bearing
the load. Deploy the landing gear beforehand. Put the cardan shaft in the
appropriate retainer.
26.
The road traffic licensing regulations and road traffic regulations must be complied
with.
The road traffic licensing regulations apply to driving on public roads. Identification
and lighting in accordance with the relevant regulations for mounted implements, for
example, may be necessary.
27.
The relevant regulations for mounted implements must be complied with if a drawbar
coupling is used on the mounted winch.
28.
Depending on the winch type, the manufacturer may have additional safety
instructions. These will be listed separately in the operating instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Assembling the equipment:
To store the machine, put it on level hard surface, so there is no dangers for the
surroundings.
Attach the tractor winch to the tractor’s three-point suspension. Mount first the tractors lift
arms with the supplied lift arms bolts, there after mount the top link. Lift the machine and rise
the support legs and adjust the lift arms to prevent the winch to swing horizontal too much.
Adjust the length of the top-link so that the machine will not interfere with the tractor cabin
and the winch stands straight.
By mounting the PTO the tractor has to be off and the key removed. Check the length of the
power take-off shaft both in working position and in transport position and if necessary
shorten it.
When the winch is dismounted, put it on level horizontal hard surface. Lower the support legs
and dismount the lift arms. By dismounting the PTO the tractor has to be stopped and the
key removed. The PTO is positioned in the special bracket for it.
Insert the cable via the upper pulley and mount on the drum. Lock the cable to the drum with
the cable fastener (Page 7). Make sure that the cable is properly attached and undamaged.
The cable must be fully rolled out and coiled up under load before being rolled onto the drum.
Important!
Use only cable type VDW-PYTHON 6 F-V.
