Tajfun EGV 45A - Setting the Wire Rope Release Power; Setting the Winch Pulling Power

4.5. SETTING THE WIRE ROPE RELEASE POWER (Figure: 9)
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.
Set the wire rope release power using the wing nut 41 (Figure: 9).
 By screwing or unscrewing the wing nut 41, the wire rope release power increases or
decreases.
4.6. SETTING THE WINCH PULLING POWER (Figure: 8)
Each winch is factory set to its maximum pulling power, which is also specified on the winch
type plate. Increasing of the pulling power over this value is not allowed. After the pulling
power of the winch decreases due to the wear of clutch linings, the clutch must be readjusted.
Pulling power setting procedure:
 Disconnect the PTO shaft and shut down the tractor.
 Use the spanned No 13 to unscrew the nut 33 and remove the safety pin 31.
 Use the spanner No 50 (45A, 55A) / No 60 (65A, 85A) to turn the nut 30 to the right so that
you can pull the string 11 using force “F” to move the clutch handle 10 to the end of the
groove H.
 Install the safety pin 31 and tighten the screw 33, to prevent the nut 30 from releasing.
It is important to tighten the nut 30 only so tight, that you can still pull the clutch
handle 10 to the end of the groove H using the force “F” and reach the nominal pulling
power (See Chapter: 4.2.)!
 By proper adjustment of nut 30, set the nominal pulling power.
 If the nut 30 is set too tightly, you cannot move the handle 10 to the end of the groove and
pulling power decreases. If the nut 30 is set too loose, it causes excessive deviation of the
drum, which can cause falling of the clutch plates off it’s pins. If this happens, the whole
drum must be dismantled.
