Working on a Steep Slope (PFR Only)
WARNING
The winch and the tractor must be in good
condition for the following procedures.
Make sure that the required maintenance
has been done on the tractor and winch.
Use only a wire rope that is in good
condition. Make sure the wire rope and
winch have enough capacity for the load.
Make sure the anchor for the wire rope
has enough capacity for the load. A failure
of the tractor, winch, or wire rope while
working on a steep slope can cause death
or injury and loss of equipment.
Tractor is Down the Slope (See Figure 19).
Sometimes a tractor must work on a steep slope and can
use a winch to give assistance when moving on the slope.
Fasten the winch wire rope to the drawbar of another
tractor, a structure or a tree that has enough strength to
hold the tractor on the slope.
A. Moving down the slope:
1. Set the throttle on the tractor for the required engine
speed.
2. Put the tractor in FORWARD. At the same time, move
the direction lever to LINE-OUT and the power lever
to POWER-IN/OUT to control the speed of the tractor
down the slope.
