2. MOUNTING GUIDELINES
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2.a. MOUNTING THE WINTEX ON A REGULAR FRAME
Fitting the mounting frame
There are four brackets enclosed in the Wintex package which you need for mounting the soil sampler on the frame.
Please note that it might be necessary to drill new holes for the brackets or weld the brackets to the chassis of the vehicle.
The mounting frame must be located 20 cm above the ground. Optional: The WINTEX can be delivered with 10 cm longer cylinders
which allow the mounting frame to be mounted up to 30 cm above the ground.
The mounting frame under the vehicle The mounting frame on the side of the vehicle
Mounting the stabilizers
Mount the stabilizers at the front and at the back. Then tighten the bolts on the side of the frame.

The bolts must be tightened to the mounting frame.
Fitting oil pump and Honda GX200 motor
Oil pump and Honda GX 200 motor on a John Deere 855D The numbers on the hoses and the numbers on the hydraulic block
must match and be connected accordingly.
2.b. MOUNTING THE WINTEX ON A REVERSED FRAME
The reversed frame always needs to be customized so that it fits the vehicle in question. Therefore the frame is delivered unpainted

Here are some examples on how customers have mounted the reversed frame on their vehicles:
2.c. MOUNTING THE WINTEX ON A PICKUP FRAME
The pickup frame includes everything you need to mount the soil sampler in the bed of a pickup truck, but not for mounting the hydraulic
unit. Some vehicles have a bed which is big enough to place the hydraulic unit beside the soil sampler. Other vehicles are narrower or
shorter. Therefore it might be necessary to make a bracket to mount the hydraulic unit on top of the wheel tub or even on the side of the
cargo bed.
Make sure that there is enough space in the bed of the pickup so that the soil sampler can be carried in transport position. Then make
sure that the soil sampler can be tilted at the rear end of the vehicle, and that it can withstand bumper and tow bar.

The frame needs to be bolted down into these six mounting points. It might be necessary to put big washers underneath the frame to
reinforce the bed.
When the soil sampler is mounted, you need to loosen the position lock bolts on the frame and pull the inner frame backwards. When you
reach the stop, make sure that the position lock bolts engage in the holes to secure the soil sampler. Then release the position lock bolts
of the tilting frame and raise the soil sampler by hand into the working position. Make sure that the lock bolts engage.
The tilting part of the frame is locked with position lock bolts. You can adjust the angle so that you can tilt the soil sampler in a 90-degree
angle to the ground.
Depending on the size of the pickup you need to find a suitable mounting
position for the hydraulic unit. There is no harm in offsetting the soil
sampler to one side of the bed to make space for the hydraulic unit.

3.b. CONNECTION AND START UP
Connect the control system to 12 V DC as indicated on the cables. The system needs a 10-amp fuse which must be connected to the
battery as close as possible.
At the start-up, the display shortly shows the version of the software, and then automatically moves on to the start display.
The first row of the display shows the depths which are preset from the factory:
