28. Do not use the winch for unintended purposes (lifting loads, etc.).(Figure 5)
29. Tractor driver and assistant must continuously communicate during their work.
30. The winch operator must continuosly observe the load during the tow. If this is not possible
due to the configuration of the terrain, the assistant should help.
31. The tractor to which the winch is connected to must have a minimum tyre profile which
still meets the traffic regulations. Otherwise the wheels must be fitted with snow chains.
Chains are also obligatory when working in snow and ice.
32. When disconnecting the winch, you first need to choose an appropriate hard and flat
surface. Fix the winch by means of support legs. Lean the drive shaft on the prepared
holder.
33. In the area of the three point linkage there is a danger of injuries due to compression or
crushing.
34. The winch can be operated only from a safe place from which the load, wire rope, rope
hook or the winch itself do not pose a threat to the operator. A safe place can also be
the tractor seat if the winch has a safety net of sufficient size. When operating the winch
outside the tractor seat the operator must be provided with an appropriate protection,
e.g. the tractor itself, secure location at a sufficient distance from the vehicle, e.g. behind
a tree. Logs can be monitored from the side next to the connection and shorter timber
can be monitored diagonally behind the load. (See Figure 6).
35. During the tow, it is forbidden to stand between the load and the winch as well as in the
danger area between the winch, relay pulley and load. (See picture 7).
