3.13 APPLICATION OF A WINCH
– Printed 692.68.999 – 3 Ed. - Base 08-2020
It should be possible to use all the elements of the vehicle front panel (e.g. tow-bar, supports for windscreen cleaner); otherwise,
equivalent systems must be provided in compliance with the safety requirements.
Observance of the required load must be documented and guaranteed by the company that carries out the installation.
3.13 APPLICATION OF A WINCH
The application of a winch on the vehicle can be carried out at the following points:
● on the front part of the chassis (frontal);
● on the chassis of the vehicle, behind the cab;
● between the side members of the vehicle, in a central or lateral position;
● on the rear part of the chassis.
▶ The application of a winch on the front of the vehicle is incompatible with the airbag system.
Therefore, after-sales installation of this device means that it must be deactivated.
The installation must be carried out so as not to alter the correct functioning of the vehicle's assemblies and components, in ob-
servance of the maximum permitted axle limits and following the instructions of the winch manufacturer. Securing the assembly
must be carried out in full compliance with Chapters 2.1 and 2.2 , ensuring that the coupling area is reinforced on the basis of the
rope (particularly of the transversal component when the traction is oblique).
The installation of a winch in the area behind the cab must allow for the insertion of an auxiliary frame, of suitable dimensions and
structure (crossbars and diagonals for stiffening) for the winch capacity.
In the event of winches:
● hydraulically controlled: previously installed hydraulic pumps can be used for other services (tipping bodies, cranes, etc.);
● mechanical: for transmission of the control it is necessary to follow the indications contained in Chapter 4.1 and 4.2 ;
● with worm screw control: the dimensioning of the drive parts must take into account the low efficiency of controls of this
type;
● electric: these are used for low power applications of brief duration, given the limited capacity of the vehicle battery and al-
ternator.
3.14 BULL BAR APPLICATION
▶ The application of a "
Bull Bar
" front protection system is not compatible with the airbag system.
Therefore, after-sales installation of this device means that it must be deactivated.
