If you hear the alarm sound, stop the winch immediately and determine the cause of the problem.
Only tilt the winch arm to the side, if this is absolutely necessary; in this case, the winch arm must
be swivelled to the rear.
If the winch arm is tilted upward, ensure that the bolt is inserted and secured with a cotter pin.
If a new AUTOMATIC winch is used, or a new cable has been fitted, cable loading must be kept
lower than in normal operating conditions for a brief period following installation (the run-in time
for the cable is about 10
operating hours). This allows cable components to settle and adapt to
normal operating conditions. Failure to observe this run-in time will subject the cable to excessive
strain and may lead to malfunctions during operation.
The cable may only be replaced by specialized personnel authorized by PRINOTH.
Before using the AUTOMATIC winch, it is essential to read the safety and operating requirements
in these operating and maintenance instructions.
NOTICE
Preventing premature wear on the cable
An
incorrect driving style can jerk the cable and result in premature wear. Particularly when there are
mounds in the terrain, there is a risk that the cable will rest on or dig into the mound when driving
downhill and will then be released with a jerk when driving uphill toward the point where the cable is
resting.
► Make sure you follow the correct route.
► To extend the service life of the cable, avoid subjecting it to any jerky loads.
CAUTION
Risk of collision
During AUTOMATIC winch operation, the cable may dislodge snow and blocks of ice or tree branch-
es which get caught on the cable to collide with the snow groomer.
► Slacken the cable immediately.
NOTICE
Risk of collision
If the extension arm is pointing forwards, it can collide with the driver's cab.
►
Do not tilt the driver's cab while the extension arm is swivelled to the front.
