2.5  Operating Safety

• 

Understand the meaning of the safety signs on the 

machine. Keep them clean. Replace them if they 

become damaged. 

• 

Never operate this winch with guards or shields 

removed. The manufacturer has designed this 

skidding winch to be used with all its safety 

equipment properly attached, to minimize the 

chance of accidents. 

• 

Read and understand the operator's manual before 

starting. Review safety instructions annually.

• 

Do not allow anyone within 20 ft (6 m) of machine 

or logs during operation.

• 

Stand at least 10 ft (3 m) to the side to activate the 

winch. 

• 

Do not touch or stand directly in line with cable 

during operation.

• 

Check cable condition before using winch. Cable 

can break if it is kinked, corroded, knotted, or has 

broken strands. Replace if damaged.

• 

Never consume alcohol or take drugs that could 

hinder alertness or coordination while operating 

this equipment. Consult a doctor about operating 

this machine if taking prescription medications.

• 

Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. 

There is no safe place for any riders.

• 

Keep rear tractor wheels on level ground and lower 

winch blade when winching to provide stability.

• 

Do not exceed winching angle of more than 25° off 

center.

• 

Always winch up a slope. It is not safe to winch 

down slope. Logs could roll unpredictably. Do not 

winch across a slope.

• 

Do not operate on hillsides or when working area is 

cluttered, wet, muddy or icy to prevent slipping and 

tripping.

• 

Keep all components of PTO systems shielded and 

guarded.

• 

Regularly test driveline guards by spinning or 

rotating them to make sure they have not become 

stuck to the shaft.

• 

Disengage the PTO and shut off the tractor before 

dismounting to clean, repair, service, or adjust 

machinery.

• 

Walk around tractors and machinery rather than 

stepping over a rotating shaft.

• 

Do not exceed a safe travel speed when 

transporting.

2.6  Equipment Safety Guidelines

• 

Keep all shields in place. If shield removal 

becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield 

prior to use.

• 

Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is 

not readable or is missing. Location of such safety 

signs are indicated in this manual on page 13.

• 

Do not modify the equipment in any way. 

Unauthorized modification may result in serious 

injury or death and may impair the function and life 

of the equipment.

• 

Never exceed the limits of the machine. If its ability 

to do a job is in question, or to do so safely – 

STOP 

!

2.7  Safety Training

• 

Safety is a primary concern in the design and 

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our 

efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped 

out by a single careless act of an operator or 

bystander.

• 

The best safety feature is an 

informed, careful operator—we 

ask you to be that kind of an 

operator. It is the operator's 

responsibility to read, understand 

and follow ALL safety and 

operation instructions in the 

manual. Review 

Safety Sign 

Explanations on page 13

.

• 

Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead 

to careless injuries. Read this manual before 

assembly or using the machine to acquaint 

yourself with it. If this machine is used by any 

person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented, 

it is the machine owner's responsibility to make 

certain that prior to using, the operator:

  - reads and understands the owner's manual
  - is instructed in safe and proper use of the 

equipment

  -

understands and knows how to perform the 

Safe Condition procedure
