SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
1. Work on hydraulic equipment may only be carried
out by professional hydraulic engineers.
2. Be cautious when using the equipment in cold
conditions.
3. Check the machine for leaks. Do not use the
machine if there is a leak from any system. Check
all hydraulic hoses – particularly those which are
bent during use – and replace any that are in poor
condition or have leaks. Ensure that all joins are
tight and that the lines are not damaged. Check
that all protective caps and ller caps are closed
properly. Check the hose sheathing for damage.
4. Check that all hose connectors, lengths and
qualities comply with applicable requirements.
When replacing or repairing hoses, use original
parts or hoses and connectors recommended
by the manufacturer. Check particularly that the
pressure classes of the hoses and connectors are
suitable to the operating pressure levels.
5. Check that all safety devices such as pressure
relief valves, etc., are in place and work properly.
Familiarize yourself with their use. Safety systems
may never be bypassed.
6. Check the main hydraulic parts daily, and always
after a fault. Replace any damaged parts imme-
diately.
7. If a component is damaged, clean it before
repairing it. Do not use solvents when cleaning
parts.
8. Do not attempt to carry out repairs that you are
not fully familiar with.
9. Never carry out repairs of the hydraulic circuit
when the system is pressurized. When pressuri-
zed, the oil spray can penetrate the skin and cau-
se mortal danger.

SHORTEN THE DRIVE SHAFT
Both PTO halves must be shorte-
ned by equal amounts.
Fig. 1. Measure A when the drive shafts are nearest to
each other.
Fig. 2. Shorten the drive shaft
• First cut the thicker cover to a correct lenght (1).
Remember 20 mm (0.78”) clearance. Then cut
away the same amount from the form pipe. Make
a similar shortening to the second half of the PTO
shaft. Remove the burr with the le.
• Connect the PTO shafts within each other.
Make sure by moving eevator carefully up and
down that the shortening of the axis is sucient.
Check that the axis have 20 mm (0.78”) latitude.
MOUNTING TO THE 3-POINT HITCH
The winch can be mounted to the 3-point linkage of
any tractor. Power transmission is obtained through
universal shaft from tractor.
ASSEMBLY OF THE PTO SHAFT
If the PTO shaft is too long it may
get pressed when the three point
hitch is lifted up. This may cause
damage to the bearings of the
winch or to the PTO of the trac-
tor. The PTO shaft must not be
too short in any position.
The PTO length is suitable, if the pipes do not reach
the bottom.
PTO is optional equipment.
1. Mount the winch to the 3-point hitch of the
tractor.
2. Raise the winch high enough to get the PTO shaft
of the tractor and the winch to a horizontal level.
3. If you have a shortened PTO shaft available, put
one end into the drive shaft and check that the
distance of the locking of the other end. Take into
account the additional clearance of approx. 20
mm (0.78”).
4. Fasten the other end of the PTO shaft in its place
and also move the winch sideways at the same
time securing that the axis does not base.

FASTENING THE CABLE TO THE DRUM
1. Tape the cable end to prevent loosening of the
core wires.
2. Pass the cable through the hole in cable guard,
over the upper snatch block and then inside the
winch.
3. Insert the cable from behind the roll of the drum
brake.
4. Pull the cable onto the drum from the left hand
side (the same side as the clutch lever).
5. Pass the cable end through the hole in the drum
plate, pull about 15 cm (6”), and insert under the
wedge of the cable lock device. See g. 3.
6. Tighten the cable lock screw.
7. Winch the cable on the drum. BUT REMEMBER
THAT THE CABLE HAS TO BE LOADED HEAVILY,
WHEN WINCHING THE CABLE BACK ON THE DRUM.
Fig. 3. Fastening the cable
Do not use longer cable than needed. With
correct length you achieve good pulling strength and
proper winding of the cable.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
CABLE
Check that:
• the cable is faultless (breakage risk).
• there are no twists or kinks (breakage risk) in the
cable.
• the cable has been properly fastened to the winch.
WINCH
Check that:
• all the pins and lynch pins are in place.
• all bolts and nuts have been tightened.
• roller chain is tight.
• the drum brake has been properly adjusted.
• the clutch has been correctly adjusted.
• lubrication is carried out correctly. See lubricating
instructions.
MOUNTING TO THE TRACTOR
Check that:
• the tractor’s top link point is locked. (with the help
of a support, if necessary).
• the pins are properly secured.
• the sway bars or turnbuckles are suitably tight.
• the PTO-shaft is suitably long, properly fastened

CONTROLS
Get acquainted with the control-
lers of the winch before the use,
tests the stopping functions of
the winch and the tractor and all
other functions. Each function
has to be in perfect condition.
PULLING OUT THE CABLE
• The cable can be freely drawn out if the drum has
not been locked with a latch.
WINCHING
• The winch is equipped with a clutch, which will
be used by the control rope. When the user draws
the control rope, the winch begings to draw in
the cable. Winching will stop when the rope is re-
leased.
• The end of the cable drum is equipped with a fric-
tion clutch, which slips, if the load is too heavy.
This prevents cable break or damages if the load
gets caught.
Fig. 4. Controls
OPERATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the operation instructions
before operating this machine!
It is the owner’s responsibility to
instruct all equipment operators
and support personnel in the
operation of this winch.
1. Choose a horizontal, hard based skidding ro-
ute for the tractor. Avoid steep slopes,
especially when winching from the side.
Check that the winching trail is clear and
that the tractor’s parking brake is on. Do not
run the tractor at a high idle when winching.
Maximum P.T.O speed is 540 rpm. Ensure that
the logs can be drawn freely. Be especially
careful when working on slopes.
Avoid winching sideways at angles exceeding
30 degrees. Use snatchblock which is fastened to
the tree if needed. (See g. 7.)
2. The safest place for the operator is at the back left
side of the winch, allowing good visibility. See g.
21. Take care that there is no one in the working
area.
3. The tractor must have a ROPS cab and front end
weights.
• Always position the tractor on a at ground in
line with the direction of the pull (see g. 5.).
Avoid working in steep terrain. Ensure nothing is
blocking the path of trees.
• Avoid an unnecessarily strong pulls,
the tractor may roll over.
• Adjust the tractors rpm’s according to the condi-
tions.
• Use a shield between the seat and the winch (e.g.
safety cab or protective screen) if you run the
winch from the tractor seat.
• Use agreed signals when working in groups.
4. When you use a light tractor, there is a very big
risk that the tractor will roll over. To avoid that
risk, you must add extra weight to the front of the
tractor.

• The falling danger of the tractor can be reduced by
winching through the lower diverting pulley.
Fig. 5.
Fig. 6. Do not winch sideways at angles exceeding
30 degrees. The tractor can tilt.
Fig. 7. Use a diverting pulley to avoid winching sideways.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
MOUNTING AND USE OF THE LOWER DIVERTING
PULLEY
• Usually the logs are winched in through the
upper pulley of the winch. This lifts the logs
and they dig less into the ground. The weight
of the load also pushes the blade into the
ground thus anchoring the winch and the
tractor to the ground.
• The winch has a lower diverting pulley. The main
use of the lower diverting pulley is to lower the
pulling point. This enables larger loads to be skid-
ded out. For skidding out the load the cable is
transferred to the lower diverting pulley.
• Several logs can be hooked up and winched in at
one time by means of keyhole sliders on the cable.
The skidding chain should have a pin on the end,
which makes it easier to pass the chain underne-
ath the tree. See g. 8.
When using the lower diverting
pulley make sure that it follows
the direction of the cable. Other-
wise the cable will be damaged,
when it is pressed between the
diverting pulley and the lower
diverting pulley frame.
When wInching an unloaded
cable, make sure that the nger
guard doesn’t rise up with cable
and doesn’t cause cable to cross-
cut.
Fig. 8. Use a keyhole sliders to winch several logs at one
time.

WINCHING
Before using the winch, you have
to pull the cable completely out
of the drum and winch the cable
back on the drum with a heavy
load. Otherwise the cable will be
damaged.
• Park the winch and tractor on level, stable ground.
Lock the brakes of the tractor before winching. Lo-
wer the 3-point hitch so that the dozer blade an-
chors the winch to the ground. See g. 9.
Do not let the dozer blade sink
too deeply into the ground, so
that the PTO shaft is not dama-
ged.
• Before using the skidding winch, make sure that
the lower diverting pulley, the upper diverting
pulley and the nger guard move freely.
Fig. 9. Anchor the dozer blade to the ground.
1. Draw the cable to the load but avoid twitches.
Do not draw out too much cable to avoid loose
spaces when the cable is reeled in.
2. Start the tractor, turn the PTO on. Use the winch
with the control rope and stand in a safe place at
a distance of at least 2 m (6 ft) from the winch. Use
the upper diverting pulley when winching.
3. Operate the clutch rmly. Avoid sliding the clutch
to avoid warming of the clutch. Stop winching by
letting go of the control rope for the leave. The
clutch will slip when the load is heavier than the
selected pull. This prevents damages to the cab-
le or winch. Avoid extra large loads. The winding
speed depends on the number of revolutions of
the tractor. Do not wind too fast.
4. Stop winching when the logs are at about
1,5-3 m (5-10 ft) from the tractor. Install the cable
on the lower diverting pulley.
Fig. 10. Winching over the upper diverting pulley
SKIDDING
Fig. 11. Cable on the lower diverting pulley
1. Turn the P.T.O on. Pull the clutch control rope and
winch the logs to the pulley. Keep the tension on
the cable and pull the thinner rope that operates
the brake ratchet. Stop pulling on the clutch rope
rst. The load is now locked in place. Alternatively
the skidding chains can be attached to the not-
ched beam.
2. Turn o the P.T.O.
3. Raise the 3-point hitch so that the logs come o
ground (g. 12.).
