2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the winch is demanding and dangerous, therefore an absolute concentration and
caution are essential. For effective and safe operation please observe the following
guidelines:
 Take safety precautions! Observe all safety guidelines and carefully read the
operating instructions.
 Winch operation and maintenance is allowed to qualified persons older than 18 years
of age, only!
 User personal protective equipment (helmet, gloves, forestry boots).
 Never work alone in the forest! If unavoidable, use radio communication device.
 Check the operation of the winch prior to any use, at least once every working day.
Any deficiency should be eliminated immediately. The winch must be inspected by
an expert at least once a year.
 Disconnect the winch drive, when performing repair or maintenance work. Besides
disconnecting the tractor PTO-shaft, also shut down the tractor engine.
 All protective parts of the winch (safety nets, covers, ...) must be in place during the
operation. Any modification of these protective parts is not permitted!
 Use only appropriate winching devices and equipment, suitable to the winch pulling
power (forestry chains, hooks, portable pulleys, belts, …).
 Wire ropes must have sufficient strength and meet technical data requirements of the
winch (See type plate). Minimal break point of the wire rope or other pulling means
(chain …) must be at least twice as high as the maximum winch pulling power.
 Replace the damaged wire rope as soon as possible!
 Use wire ropes of appropriate length! The permitted wire rope length is set by fully
coiling the wire rope onto the drum. The difference between upper layer of the coiling
and the edge of the drum should not be lower than twice the diameter of the wire
rope.
 Before the beginning of work, the operator has to make sure the work can be
preformed safely.
 Winch operator has to pay attention, that the wire rope does not uncoil completely
under the load and that at least five coils of the rope remain on the drum (except in
case of emergency).
 The wire rope must be coiled to the drum tightly (Chapter 4.4.1.).

5
 The operator should control the winch from the safe area (5 m away from the winch).
The machine, load, wire rope or other objects which can get thrown towards the
winch in case of breakage of wire rope or other pulling means can pose a danger to
the operator. Tractor cabin is also considered as a safe operating spot, in case the
safety net is installed properly between the driver’s seat and the winch.
Winch operation from a close distance (up to 5 m) and operation outside of the
tractor cabin is permitted only if the area is secured with a dedicated protection.
Suitable and safe area for winch operation should be in an appropriate distance from
the tractor and the winch, for example behind the three.
In case you operate the winch using the remote control and walk besides the log
being pulled, you have to stay near the wire rope connecting point.
When pulling logs, the operator should follow the load parallel, near the wire rope
connecting point. When pulling branches and tree tops, the operator may follow the
load diagonally, behind the load (Figure 2a).
 The winch operator must constantly observe the load being pulled. If the pulling
distance is not visible from his position, an assistant being in constant contact with
the operator must observe the load. The winch operator and assistant communicate
with previously agreed signs (Figure: 2b).
 Special attention should be paid to proper and safe fastening of the load. The
assistant should not start with the fastening procedure, until he or she notifies the
tractor operator!
 When working with wire rope, do not stay in the area between the load and the winch
and in the dangerous triangle between the winch, pulley and the load (Figure: 2c).

 When pulling the logs on the steep slope, do not stay under the load, even if the
load is standing still on the stretched wire rope.
 When pulling the tree which is still standing, tighten the wire rope before the
beginning of felling. Position yourself and the winch outside the dangerous area in
the distance twice the tree height. In case you use the pulley to alter the pulling
direction, the dangerous area is within a radius of single tree height (Figure: 2d).
When using the pulley, do not stay in the dangerous triangle!

 Use the lower pulley on the winch to prevent any possible tractor turnover,
especially when pulling heavier loads. Pay special attention that the wire rope is
aligned properly in the pulley.
 When releasing the loads, do not approach the load until the wire rope is loose or the
brake is released.
 When using the tractor with hydrodynamic drive, the operator must, before leaving
the tractor cabin, make sure that:
- supporting legs are lowered and the winch is lowered to the ground and
anchored
- tractor brake is activated
- tractor transmission is in the neutral position.
 When disconnecting the winch, it is necessary to place the winch on the hard and
level surface. First, the supporting legs must be set in the supporting position and
PTO shaft must be placed in the dedicated holder.
 Observe traffic regulations! In case you drive on public roads, also observe all
current regulations for designation of tractor equipment which is connected to the
back of the tractor.
 The connector on the winch is intended as an implement and should not be used on
public roads.
 Tractor which powers the winch should have sufficient tire threat depth: at least 40 %
left, otherwise installation of tire chains is necessary. Permanent use of tire chains is
required when working in the snow or ice in winter conditions.
 Before beginning of the work, the tractor must be anchored well using the winch
board. In case the soft ground does not give enough support, the tractor should be
anchored using additional wire rope or chain to prevent possibility of slippage or
even tractor turnover, especially when working on steeper slopes or when pulling
heavier loads!
 The size of the load and pulling speed should be adjusted to the tractor strength and
capability as well as to the inclination of the slope and ground composition to
prevent possibility of turnover and to keep maneuverability and braking efficiency.

TAJFUN D.O.O.TAJFUN D.O.O.
Mount the winch to the three point linkage system of the tractor by using three coupling pins.
The lower links of the tractor must be attached with screws to prevent the transverse
movement of the winch.
 The winch is driven by a PTO shaft, which should correspond to necessary drive power of
the winch - see Technical Data - chapter 1.3.
 Prior to work, lift the supporting legs of the winch.
When first mounting the winch, check the P.T.O. shaft length.
Check the P.T.O. shaft length, by lifting and lowering the winch to determine the shortest
distance between the connecting shafts. In this position the tubes of the mounted P.T.O shaft
should be approx. 20 mm shorter.
In case P.T.O. shaft is too long, it must be shortened:
 Saw off steel and plastic tubes on both ends to the same length. Afterwards file down,
clean and grease the edges.
Always place the winch on the level surface. After disconnecting the winch from the tractor,
PTO shaft may remain mounted to the winch and laid on the hook.
3.CONNECTING THE WINCH
Before beginning of work turn tractor position lights ON.
When using our machines, we recommend Tajfun PTO Shafts:

3.2. RADIO REMOTE CONTROL (Diagram, Page 9)
Hydraulic winch can also be controlled using radio remote control. To enable radio remote
control, instead of plugging in the control console, plug the radio remote control receiver into
the socket on the winch. Connect the winch power cable into a specially prepared socket on
the tractor (See: Electrical diagram A, Page 9), where you can also connect the horn and gas
control unit (See: Electrical diagram B, Page 9).
Observe radio remote control unit manufacturer’s instructions!
3.1. CONTROL CONSOLE (Diagram, Page 9)
Connect the winch power cable into the tractor electrical socket (See: Electrical diagram A,
page: 9). Connect the control console into the socket on the winch.

9
Check that the power source provides 12 V voltage and current protection with 10 A fuses,
otherwise the electrical system may malfunction. The minimum cross-section of a single wire
from the power source must be at least 2,5 mm².

4. FUNCTION AND OPERATION OF THE WINCH
Observe all safety instructions (Chapter: 2.)!
Also follow important tips in the frames!
4.1. RELEASE THE WIRE ROPE (PERMANENT BRAKE RELEASE) (Figure 4)
When pulling the wire rope use constant force without jerking which may cause the loosening
of the wire rope on the drum and building loops.
4.2. PULLING (COILING THE WIRE ROPE) (Figure: 4)
When uncoiling the wire rope off the drum, be careful not to rip it off at the connecting point.
By pushing the »Pull« button on the control console the pulling is engaged. The pulling is
stopped when you release the »Pull« button on the control console.
The brake prevents the load from sliding backwards when pulling is stopped.
Control Console Type B:
Control Console Type A:
By switching off the »Wire rope release« switch and pushing the »Pull« button on the control
console the winch starts to pull. When the "Pull" bottom is release, the pulling is interrupted.
During the interruption, the brake band automatically switches on and prevents the load from
sliding when the pulling is stopped.
Push and hold the »Brake release« button on the control console, to release the brake band
and allow drum rotation. Now, the wire rope can be pulled off the drum. Make sure that the
wire rope pulling power is set correctly ( Chapter: 4.5.).
Push the »Pull« button to stop the wire rope release.
Control Console Type B:
Control Console Type A:
By switching on the "Wire rope release" switch on the control console, release the brake
band so that the drum is released, too, to turn freely. The wire rope can be pulled off the
drum. Make sure that the wire rope pulling power is set correctly (Chapter: 4.5.).
As long as the "Wire rope release" switch is ON, the remaining buttoms on the control
console are out of function.
Although the power of the PTO shaft drive remains constant, the pulling power changes.
Limit switch (Fig. 4a) automatically shuts down pulling,
when rope is fully coiled.
When limit switch shuts down pulling, you must pull out
approx. 15 cm of rope to release limit switch spring.
4a

11
4.3. RELEASING THE WIRE ROPE UNDER LOAD (Figure 4)
The brake prevents tied load from sliding back, when you stop the pull. To release the
stretched wire rope, quickly push and release the »brake release« button repeatedly to
prevent the drum from uncoiling suddenly and loosening the coiled wire rope.
 If the wire rope on the drum gets loose, the outer coils of the wire rope get under the inner
coils at the repeated pulling, and the wire rope gets damaged quickly.
 (See: Coiling the wire rope tightly onto the drum.: 4.4.1.).
EMERGENCY STOP (Control Console Type B)
By pushing the »Emergency Stop« button, the pulling and wire rope release functions are
stopped. The button mechanically locks in the pushed position. In this position the pulling or
wire rope release functions do not work. Turn the button slightly to the right to disengage the
emergency stop. In case any function button is pushed when the emergency stop is
disengaged, the machine will detect the malfunction and prevent the »pushed« button from
operating.
The nominal pulling is the highest power achieved by the winch with the first layer of coils on
the drum. It is defined in the technical data section of this operating instructions and on the
type plate of each winch. By increasing the number of coil layers on the drum, the pulling
power decreases. With the full drum the pulling power comes to 50 % to 60 % of the nominal
pulling power.
It is useful to know that at the constant drive power, the pulling power depends on the length
of the wire rope coiled to the drum. The strongest pulling power is achieved at the first layer of
coils. By multilayer coiling the pulling power decreases progressively. The pulling power
changes in inverse proportion to the pulling speed, which is highest when the wire rope if fully
coiled.

4.4.1. COILING THE WIRE ROPE TIGHTLY ONTO THE DRUM .
First, uncoil the wire rope completely and check its quality. Afterwards push the “Pull” button
to coil up the wire rope onto the drum (Figure 4).
Pay attention to coil the first five coils using minimum force and the rest of the wire rope using
higher force.
You can achieve this in two ways:
 By pulling the load;
 By fastening the wire rope to a fixed object, so that the tractor is pulled towards this object.
It is recommended to do this on a slight incline, so the tractor is pulled uphill, or by braking
slightly.
WARNING: The wire rope must always be tightly coiled up onto the drum - before
starting the work with a new winch it is necessary to uncoil the wire rope completely without
any load, check its quality and tightly coil it back onto the drum: first five coils should be coiled
by using minimum load and the rest of the wire rope using higher load!
4.4.2. WIRE ROPE QUALITY .
 Only unused wire rope can be reclaimed.
 Use only attested wire rope with a minimum brake point, specified in the technical data
(Chapter: 1.3.).
 The wire rope must not be longer than maximum length, specified in the technical data
(Chapter: 1.3.).
WARNING:
When handling the rope, pay attention that the wire rope does not make loops when coiling or
uncoiling it.
When uncoiling the wire rope off the drum, be careful not to rip it off at the connecting point.

4.5. SETTING THE WIRE ROPE RELEASE POWER (Figure: 8)
The wire rope release power must be set correctly, so the drum stops immediately after
releasing the wire rope. This prevents the wire rope on the drum from releasing by itself.
 Release the safety nut 10
Screw or unscrew the screw 9to influence the brake band 11 through the leaf spring 12.
 By screwing or unscrewing the screw 9, the wire rope release power increases or
decreases
 Screw the counter nut 10
4.6. SETTING THE WINCH BRAKE POWER (Figure: 8)
The brake band is factory set to the brake power which is 25 % higher than the nominal
pulling power of the winch. The brake power changes due to the wear of the brake band lining
and has to be readjusted periodically. Properly adjusted brake band prevents the load from
sliding backwards when in the »ON« position and allows pulling the wire rope out of the winch,
when the brake handle is in the »OFF« - »permanent brake release« position.
 When the break is in the »ON« position the nut 1 must be adjusted so the handle 3 holds
the piston rod 4 outside the cylinder (A = 34 mm).
 Screw the counter nut 2in the position where B = 3 mm.
 By screwing the nut 1 and counter nut 2 to the right, towards the winch, the piston rod
moves outside the cylinder and the brake power increases, and vice versa.

15
4.7. SETTING THE CLUTCH CYLINDER STROKE (Figure: 8)
By pushing the »Pull« button, clutch cylinder 8pushes the drum towards the clutch which
starts to turn. When you release the button, the drum returns to its original position. This axial
cylinder stroke must be minimal and never larger than 5 mm. When the clutch gradually
wears-off, the stroke must be lowered. Therefore it is recommended to control the clutch
cylinder stroke constantly.
Procedure:
 The drum stroke adjustment is performed in “PERMANENT BRAKE RELEASE” position
 Turn the safety plug on the drum axis to the left to release it
 Screw the nut 7 (M60) to the right until the drum starts to turn (P.T.O. shaft must be
connected), without pushing the »Pull« button
 Turn the nut 7slightly to the left until the drum stops turning
 To prevent unwanted pulling turn the nut 7an additional 3/4 turn to the left
 Check the clutch cylinder stroke and fasten the safety plug tightly
to prevent the nut M60 from unscrewing by itself
WARNING:
In case the clutch cylinder stroke increases over 7 mm the oil may start leaking around the
piston.

16
4.8. CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE DRIVE CHAIN (Figure 9)
During the operation and under the load, the drive chain stretches, therefore the operator
must check and readjust the chain periodically to prevent excessive wear of the whole chain
drive. The chain must not be set to tight and chain slack should be set 1 to 3 mm. Check the
tightness of the chain by hand, pushing the chain between the chain wheels.
Procedure:
 If the winch is connected to the tractor, shut down the tractor and disconnect the PTO shaft.
 Unscrew the screw 3and remove the chain cover 4 by pushing it upwards.
 Screw the nut 2 until the spring allows it.
 Loosen both screws 5by approximately one turn to move the drive chassis 7.
 Tighten the drive chain, by screwing the nut 1until you reach the desired chain slack: ±3
mm.
 Tighten the screws 5.
 Lubricate the chain using special chain lubrication spray.
