Winching
Park the tractor and winch on level, stable ground. Set parking brake on
tractor, lower 3 pth winch to ground so dozer blade anchors in ground.
Before using winch ensure that cable is free of cuts and kinks,(cable may
break if cut or damaged).
This skidding
winch is controlled by a clutch, which is engaged by pulling on the rope.
Winch will stop when rope is released.
When operating winch the safest place to stand is the back left side of
the winch.
Always wear safety goggles, safety boots and heavy gloves suitable for
handling steel cable when operating winch.
Bystanders should always stand back in case of cable breakage.
Avoid winching sideways at more than a 25 degree angle, wincing at too
great an angle can cause tractor rollover.
Before operating winch check upper and lower snatch block to ensure
they operate freely.
