4. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. 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.
4.2. 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 tractor. 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.
Note!
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
atthesametimesecuringthattheaxis
does not base.
4.3. SHORTEN THE DRIVE SHAFT
Both PTO halves must be
shortened by equal amounts.
PTO is optional equipment.
Note!

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 fig. 19.
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. 19.Fastening the cable.
Do not use longer cable than needed. With
correct length you achieve good pulling
strength and proper winding of the cable.

7. OPERATION
7.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the ope
r
ation
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.
WARNING!
1. Choose a horizontal, hard based skidding
route 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 fig. 23.)
2. The safest place for the operator is at the
back left side of the winch, allowing good
visibility. See fig. 21. Take care that there is
no one in the working area.
3. The tractor must have a ROPS cab and
front end weights.
DAlways position the tractor on a flat ground
in line with the direction of the pull (see
fig. 21.). Avoid working in steep terrain.
Ensure nothing is blocking the path of
trees.
DAvoid an unnecessarily strong pulls, the
tractor may roll over.
DAdjust the tractors rpm’s according to the
conditions.
DUse a shield between the seat and the
winch (e.g. safety cab or protective
screen) if you run the winch from the
tractor seat.
DUse 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.

DThe falling danger of the tractor can be
reduced by winching through the lower
snatchblock.
Fig. 21.
Fig. 22. Do not winch sideways at angles
exceeding 30 degrees. The tractor can tilt.
Fig. 23. Use a snatchblock to avoid winching
sideways.
7.2. PRE--OPERATION CHECKS
MOUNTING AND USE OF THE LOWER
SNATCHBLOCK
DUsually 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.
DThe winch has a lower snatchblock. The
main use of the lower snatchblock is to
lower the pulling point. This enables larger
loads to be skidded out . For skidding out
the load the cable is transferred to the
lower snatchblock.
DSeveral 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
makesiteasiertopassthechain
underneath the tree. See fig. 24.
When using the lower snatch
blockmakesurethatitfollows
the direction of the cable.
Otherwise the cable will be
damaged, when it is pressed
between the snatch block and
the lower snatchblock frame.
NOTE!
When wInching an unloaded
cable, make sure that the
finger guard doesn’t rise up
with cable and doesn’t cause
cable to crosscut.
NOTE!
Fig. 24. Use a keyhole sliders to winch
several logs at one time.

7.3. 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.
NOTE!
DPark the winch and tractor on level, stable
ground. Lock the brakes of the tractor
before winching. Lower the 3--point hitch so
that the dozer blade anchors the winch to
the ground. See fig. 25.
Do not let the dozer blade sink
too deeply into the ground, so
that the PTO shaft is not
damaged
NOTE!
DBefore using the skidding winch, make
sure that the lower snatch block, the upper
snatch block and the finger guard move
freely.
Fig. 25. 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 2m (6ft)
from the winch. Use the upper snatchblock
when winching.
3. Operate the clutch firmly. 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 cable 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 snatch block.
Fig. 26. Winching over the upper snatchblock
7.4. SKIDDING
Fig. 27. Cable on the lower snatchblock
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 first.
The load is now locked in place.
Alternatively the skidding chains can be
attached to the notched beam.
2. Turn off the P.T.O.
3. Raise the 3--point hitch so that the logs
come off ground (fig. 28.).
4. Move the logs to the desired place.

8. SAFETY
Disengage the P.T.O and turn
the tractor off before you
service the winch, remove the
keys so the tractor cannot be
sta
r
ted up accidentally.
DANGER!
9. LUBRICATION
Do not oil the drive chain,
because the oil will work its
way to the clutch!
NOTE!
The cable drum, main sprocket and
snatchblock are fitted with self lubricating
bearings.
Following points require lubrication:
1. Grease the drum clutch parts after every
500 working hours. Always use good
quality lubrication grease.
2. Grease the PTO---shaft regularly and
aways before use as shown in figure 31.
3. Grease the drum chain lightly (not with oil)
after every 50 working hours with spray type
, hardening chain grease. Wipe off the
excessive grease.

When used in winter the
guard tubes must be grea-
sed to avoid freezing.

10.5. ASSEMBLY OF THE MECHANISM
Make sure that the both pressure bearings are
installed in a correct position, that is, the
bearing with bigger internal diameter should be
facing the cable drum (figure 37). Make sure
that the position of the two clutch engagement
halves is correct:
1. Place one of the clutch engagement
halves on the working tble so that the
handle is at 8 o’clock position and the 3
slanted surfaces face up. See fig.36.
2. Grease the 3 slanted surfaces with
vaseline and place the 3 rollers on the
bottom of the slanted surfaces so that the
thin ends point towards the middle.
The other clutch engagement half (without
handle) has 3 slanted surfaces on one side
and two holes drilled on the other side (fig 36).
Two studs on the back of the front plate will fit
into these holes later on when the winch is
assembled.
3. Place one clutch engagement half (without
the handle) so that the halves bottom out
when the handle is at 8 o’clock position
and the two holes are at 12 o’clock and 6
o’clock (fig. 36). Be careful, there is only
one correct position! Tape the halves
together so that htey will stay together
when you mount them on the drum axle.
Install a protective plate. Check the clutch
adjustment.
