Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning and transportation of the winch with the
power switched off and all moving parts motionless and secured against accidental operation.
The user shall strictly comply with these operation , set-up, maintenance, repair and trouble-shooting
instructions in order to assure safe operation and no damages to the equipment. Moreover, we recommend
to let the machine be run only and strictly by trained and skilled staff who must be familiar with the applicable
occupational safety and health administration rules as well as applicable transportation rules.
No person under school leaving age should operate a forestry winch. Those who have reached school
leaving age but are below the age of 18 may operate a forestry winch if supervised by a competent person
of 18 years or over.
The machine shall be installed and kept in a suitable location selected by the customer for safest operation.
The working area around the machine must be kept as clear as possible from surrounding obstacles and
slippery foundation floors should be duly treated (do not use saw dust or wood ash for this purpose).
Make sure that the equipment stands on a safe stable foundation.
- Due and proper illumination of the working site must be provided at all times.
- Set up the machine on a firm surface and ensure that a wide but confined area is available around the
machine assuring maximum working freedom.
- Mind all operation sings and warning labels on the winch and comply with the instruction given herein.
- Operators must wear steel toe safety shoes, working protective gloves, protective helmet and snug-fitting,
tear-resistant work cloths.
- Never leave the forestry winch unattended
- Before switching power on and putting the winch to work make sure that there are no bystanders in the
dangerous area and that you have good and clear visibility on the work area.
- It very dangerous and strictly prohibited to sit/stand on the winch while transporting it.
- Provide due and correct mounting of the winch.
- Make sure to comply with driving speed requirements for the specific road conditions. Use caution when
changing direction or turning while winching uphill, downhill or across slopes.
- Do not stand in the dangerous area. Assure that nobody stands inbetween winch and tractor, unless the
tractor is safely braked and blocks have been put underneath the wheels to avoid accidental moving.
- Do not remove nor start handling timber before the winch has come to a complete stop.
- Periodically check that all screws and fixations are tightly in place.
- Before putting the winch to work perform a visual checkup of the overall conditions and let a skilled technicial
overhaul and service your winch at least once a year.
- It is strictly prohibited to use the winch for any other application than mentioned in this manual.
CAUTION: do not use the winch for hoisting applications! (Figure 5)
- Make sure that power is fully disconnected from the winch and that the tractor has been switched off before
performing any repair or work on the winch.
- Never operate the winch without its safeties and protections duly in place.
- Strictly use wire rope of adequate crush resistance, strength and quality. Provide for immediate wore rope
replacement, if any fault or anomaly is detected.
- Be sure that your wire rope length provides for a free gap to the upper drum profile of least 1.5 the rope
diameter when fully spooled. In other words, when the rope is fully spooled there should be space left on
the drum for at least two more coils.
- Make sure that your helpers do not put any extra load on the winch without prior informing the tractor
driver.
- Strictly operate the winch from a safe place, at safety distance from the load, the rope and such other
dangers as unfelled trees. The driver seat accounts as a safe place only if a safety screen is provided to
separate the winch from the tractor in such a way that it may not be removed or bypassed.

Seite 7
- CAUTION: it is very dangerous to stand in front of a tree to be felled and winched away. (Figu-
re 1)
( Figure 1) ( Figure 2)
- Winching with a pulley originates a three-sides dangerous area where none is allowed to stand
during winching operations. (Figure 2)
- Never exceed the max admissible pull angle of 30° (Figure 3).
- CAUTION: tip-over risk (Figure 4) when winching on rough terrain or exceeding the maximum
admissible pull angle.
( Figure 3) ( Figure 4) ( Figure 5)
Keep away from the dangerous area!
- You and your helper must establish clear and precise hand signals and review them so everyone clearly
understands.
Pull Stop Release rope
- If your winch is equipped with lower snatch block, use it also for pulling operations.
- The operator should monitor the load throughout the entire pulling operation. Although winches are one-
man equipment, you should never work alone and a second person should be ready to help in the event
of lack of full visibility.
- Attach your winch to any tractor equipped with road transport tires to avoid infringement of road travel
profiles. If this is not available, provide your towing vehicle with protection chains. Chains are mandatory
on all types of tire for travel on icy or snowy foundations.
- Before disconnecting the winch from the tractor, park on a safe and fl at surface. Drive the winch down
on the special stabiliser foot and hang the driveshaft on the special mount provided on board of the winch.
- Pinched-hands and injuries danger in the three-point hitching area!
Read this basic guide carefully, familiarize yourself with the operation of your winch before ha-
ving to maintain it and be constantly safety oriented.

4. About PTO
• Use only and strictly CE approved drivelines duly connected and secured in compliance with
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never use a PTO driveline without safety shield or with a damaged guard.
• Make sure that the shield is of the correct size and length for the drive shaft and is duly mounted on it.
• Use safety chains to secure the shield agaist dangerous rotation and distortion.
• Before operating the PTO driveshaft make sure the rpm number and direction comply with the one
shown by the arrow-sign on the winch. Take all due measures to avoid unauthorized thirds standing the
the dangerous area of the winch!
• Never run the PTO shaft when the tractor motor is switched off!
• After dismouting the PTO shaft use the special holder on the winch to safely store it away.
5. Operation
This timber winch is designed for logging applications only. The winch comprises a welded frame, a main
shaft, a chain wheel clutch, a drum with wire rope, a brake and a snatch-block.
The wire rope is slipped around the timber, the timber is pulled to the skid and the rope is hung up to the
special grooves in the skid by means of fixation chains. Timber and long tree trunks are so winched to a
parking area for loading on trucks and further delivery.
5.1 PTO shaft requirements
Do not PTO operate winch at any faster speeds than max. 540 RPM.
To mount your winch to the tractor use three-point hitch CAT I and Cat II only.
5.2 Connecting the winch to the tractor
Make sure that nobody stand in the dangerous area while connecting the winch to your tractor
Logging winches can be mounted on any tractor equipped with 3-point hitch of category I or II.
With a special arrangement it is also possible to mount the winch to a tractor with automatic hitch mecha-
nism on the lower hitch points.
Make sure to strictly use approved yypes and that proper shielding with chain fixation is available.
Make sure to perform accurate connection of your PTO driveline both on winch and power input side.
In order to transfer torque from the tractor to the winch you must use a driveline with torque overload
clutch coupler. Mount the winch to the tractor and then secure the stabilisers underneath the lower hitch
points. Finally incline the winch by approximately 20° using the upper hitch bar.

Seite 9
5.3 Positioning the drawbar to the PTO shaft
The length and height of a tractor drawbar may need to be adjusted to ensure that the PTO driveline
does not compress or separate during operation.
To make this adjustment:
• Mount the winch to the tractor!
• Pull the two halves of your shaft apart and respectively mount them to the tractor and to the winch and
perform a crosscheck as shown below (Fig. 6)
• For increased safety make sure that a minimum wrapping of 200mm (b) occurs when pulling the hitch
bar all the way up and down. With the shaft parallel to the ground also make sure that the shaft doesn’t hit
the stand (wrapping (a) should be still at least 20mm).
• For shortening of the PTO shaft, fi rst cut the telescope off and then the external one by the same
length.
• Grind both shaft ends, clear chips and dust away and oil all slinding contact areas before final assembly.
(Fig. 6)
5.4 Wire rope installation
DO! DON'T!!
Remove the small protection grid and then take the cap off (Fig. 8, Pos. 7). Now turn the drum to the right
position for releasing and removing the drum screw (Pos. 8).
Before releasing the fixation screw, make sure to disengage the brake lever (Pos. 1 Fig. 9) by shifting it
on “AUS”.
Insert the wire rope through the inlet fairlead and feed it to the drum by means of the upper block. Fit
the rope into the special groove and tighten the screw (Pos. 8). Now start spooling as described under
skidding procedures.
In order to avoid possible rope damages keep winding up for a while after complete spooling of the entire
rope length, as described under section “spooling of the wire rope”.
Follow exactly these instructions in order to avoid troubles and assure smooth working with your winch.
Make sure to avoid rope pockets, kinks and twirls while unrolling and feeding to the winch.

Seite 10
5.4.1 Checking the rope quality
• Stricly use brand new ropes.
• Make sure to use ropes of approved quality, suitable strength and compliant to the specifications on the
identification label.
• Do not use longer ropes than instructed in the technical specifications of this manual.
5.4.2 Spooling the wire rope
Completely spool the rope making sure to wind tightly and evenly onto the drum and avoiding both over-
winding and underwinding.
Correct windind is accomplished by:
• keeping a load on the cable
• and firmly attach one end of the cable to a firm stable anchor-point suitable to withstand the pull force
while the rope starts spooling onto the drum pulling tractor and winch towards the anchored rope end.
It may be convenient to carry out this operation either on a slight gradient with the idled tractor facing
uphill or alternatively with braked tractor.
Wind the rope tightly and evenly onto the drum. Before putting your winch to work spool the rope
completely off and then rewind it again! Check the rope over for any signs of damage, flattening,
broken wires, wear and corrosion.
5.4.3 Spooling off the wire rope
After you have correctly installed the winch, you can start spooling the rope off. This is accomplished by
pulling the red line (Pos. 2) till the Lever 1 snaps into the AUS position (Fig. 7).
Release the brake and start spooling the wire rope off. If the wire rope is tangled or badly wounded on the
drum, first unwind the entire rope length.
Keep running the tractor idle while loading the winch and completely rewinding the rope onto the drum.
Stop pulling as soon as the tractor reaches close to the anchor-point where the rope end was attached.
Now disengage the clutch lever.
Make sure that pulling is performed smoothly and without rush movements that could result into tangling,
twirling or kinkling of the rope.
5.5 Skidding instructions
Set the hydraulic cylinder of the tractor three-point hitch in its lowest position. Firmly settle the winch down
on the skid and engage the tractor manual brake.
NEVER start pulling operations before having securely and firmly settled the winch in a stable position.
Pull the green line (Pos. 5) to shift the Lever 12 in its EIN position (Fig. 8). The wire rope will now start to
wind up onto the drum. To stop winding simply release and set the green line loose. When doing so, the
brake immediately stops the drum and keeps the load away.
Changes and self-modifications to the mechanism controlling the brake engagement system (Pos. 1, Fig
7) are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Do not raise the hydraulic cylinder of the tractor three-point hitch during skidding! (DANGER: you may
damage your driveline).
Notwithstanding the consistent PTO power speed, the pull force is subject to variations.

Seite 11
Even at consistent power ratings, the pull force of the winch still depends on the length of the remaining
rope spooled onto the drum. The maximum pull force is obtained with the first rope coils on the drum. The
pull force decreases as the rope winds up on the drum. The skidding speed is inversely proprotional to
the pull force and reaches the peak speed as the rope is fully spooled onto the drum.
The rated pull force is the largest force produced as the rope starts winding up onto the drum.
This is also the figure that is shown in the technical data reported on the product identification
label on the winch. The pull force of the winch decreases as the rope keeps winding further more
onto the drum. At fully wounded rope the pull force of the winch amounts 50-60% of the rated
force.
5.6 Settings
5.6.1 Clutch
1 on
0 off
Proper clutch settings will ensure optimum pull force. The clutch is set by the manufacturer during final
testing of the product before shipment. However, possible ongoign wear of the lining may require some
extent of adjustment as time passes.
For clutch adjustment attach a torque wrench to the green line. If you don’t have any torque wrench avai-
lable you can also use a spring balance of sufficient measuring scale.
Attach the torque wrench (or scale), apply a 350 N (35 kg) force to the line (Pos. 5, Fig. 8) and make sure
that the clutch slowly shifts towards the winch frame as you apply the force and stops moving when hitting
against the winch. If the force applied is too small, tighten the nut (Pos. 9, Fig. 8) by turning it clockwise
and making sure that as you do this the clutch lever gradually shifts towards the winch frame and stops
there. Keep tightening untill the required force is reached that is till the lever 6 backs aways from the
winch. Finally slightly turn the nut anti-clockwise to release it a litlle bit. Now the clutch is set and ready to
work.
Each winch is factory set at the maximum pull force shown on the product identification label. It
is strictly forbidden and very dangerous to achieve higher settings and run the winch at higher
force ratings!
5.6.2 Prebrake regulation
To facilitate winding of the wire rope, perform prebrake regulation with the screw (10) and respective
wingnut (11) (Fig. 8). Exact prebrake regulation will also prevent the rope from unwinding excessively fast
or accidentally slipping off the drum. Extreme fast unwinding and abrupt brake disengagement may cause
severe damages to the wire rope.
Exact prebrake regulation occurs when the rope can be effortless spooled off the drum.
The prebrake arrangement must be disengaged for uphill skidding operations in order to ensure easier
pulling of the rope.
1 0

Seite 12
5.6.3 Brake
1 engaged
0 disengaged
CAUTION: tripping of the brake lever occurs when the clutch lever is engaged with the brake
lever still in its left-hand position.
The brake is engaged by means of a nut (3) and a nut (4). When the brake is engaged the lever (1) shifts
into its position EIN (Fig. 7).
First adjust the nut (3) using an open-end spanner until the nut stands approx 5 mm away from the lever.
Then adjust nut (4) till the sliding plate underneath the nut projects 3-4 mm out out of the winch frame. If
you cannot reach the required brake force, repeat the same steps tightening the nut by further turning it to
the right side.
Excessive brake force will cause troublesome unwinding procedures. In this case release the nut by
slightly turning it to the left.

(Fig. 8)

Seite 13
6.6.4 Stretching of the drive chains
After the first operation hours you possibly experience
some extent of release of the drive chain that will then
need to be restretched.
Stretching is accomplished by first removing the safety
guard on it (Pos.1 - Fig. 9). Then slightly realease the
fixation screws on the mount (Pos. 2 - Fig. 9) and finally
access the chain and start stretching it by means of the
special adjustment screw (Pos. 4).
Adjust the chain so that you can still provoke some
extent of deflection by applying one finger tip pressure
in the middle. Then make the PTO shaft turn and check
for troublefree and effortless turning.
Properly stretched chains can still be deflected by 1-3
mm by applying your maximum hand force in the middle
of the distance between sheaves.
(Fig. 9)
5.7 Lubrication
Make sure that the motor is switched off and all moving parts are secured before performing any
maintenance/repair work on the machine.
The winch is equipped with self-lubricating bearings that required no further lubrication or maintenance.
Maintenance is mainly required on the engagement/locking mechanism (Pos. 13 - Fig. 7) that needs peri-
odical checkup. Clean all metal surfaces with spray agents in order to:
• increase lubricant efficacy and
• inhibit formation of humidity, condense water and ice on the leverage and the control rods and
therefore prevent consequent functional troubles.
Lubricate the housing of the upper block every 50 hours.
Provide regular maintenance of the drive chain removing any eventual residual dirt and slightly greasing
it. Use grease suitable for high temperature (it should not melt as common low-price grease) in order to
prevent grease contamination of the sliding clutch surfaces.
Strictly use special spray lubricant for link chains.
Provide PTO shaft lubrication in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer (Fig. 10).
CAUTION: improper lubrication may cause dangerous contamination of the clutch sliding parts and of the
brake lining.
