WINCH
The winch is operated with a lever to the right on the dash-
board. There is a separate lever for operating the winch lock
to the left on the dashboard.
Overload protection
The winch has a built-in overload protection, which cannot
be adjusted.
N.B. If the overload protection trips, winching must be im-
mediately stopped. A block can be attached to the anchorage
point and the winching can be continued with a double wire
rope so as to halve the pulling force of the winch.
Using the winch
Towing of objects
Release the lock, draw out the wire rope and secure it to the
object to be towed. Engage the lock and reverse the machine.
Winching in of objects
Release the lock, draw out the wire rope and secure it to the
object to be winched in. Shift the gear to neutral and disen-
gage the trailer drive. Apply the parking brake and engage
the winch. Move the drive lever forwards and accelerate. If
required, the machine can be anchored.
Dragging out of the machine
Release the lock, draw out the wire rope and secure it to a
tree or other anchorage point. Shift the gear to neutral and
engage the trailer drive. Engage the winch. Move the drive
lever forwards and accelerate.
N.B. If the winch lock cannot be released after winching,
engage the gear and move the drive lever forwards. Move
the winch lock into the free position at the same time as you
accelerate.
N.B. Never drive backwards with the drive lever while the
winch is being used! This may damage the gearbox and the
wire rope.
N.B. The wire rope speed of the winch is less than that obtai-
ned with the top gear of the machine. Make certain that the
wire rope does not get under the machine or become tangled
in the bogie system.
N.B. Make certain that the wire rope lies in the longitudinal
direction of the machine when the winching is started. Max.
deviation ± 15o.
N.B. The winch is intended to pull objects or the machine
along the ground. The winch must not be used to lift material
or people.
