2.5 Operating Safety

Safety

• Understand the meaning of the safety signs on the machine. Keep them clean. Replace them if they

become damaged.

• Never operate this winch with guards or shields removed. The manufacturer has designed this

skidding winch to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached, to minimize the

chance of accidents.

• Read and understand the operator's manual before

starting. Review safety instructions annually.

• Do not allow anyone within 20 ft (6 m) of machine or logs during operation.

• Stand at least 10 ft (3 m) to the side to activate the winch.

• Do not touch or stand directly in line with cable

during operation.

• Check cable condition before using winch. Cable can break if it is kinked, corroded, knotted, or has broken strands. Replace if damaged.

• Never consume alcohol or take drugs that could

hinder alertness or coordination while operating

this equipment. Consult a doctor about operating this machine if taking prescription medications.

• Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.

• Keep rear tractor wheels on level ground and lower

winch blade when winching to provide stability.

• Do not exceed winching angle of more than 25° off center.

• Always winch up a slope. It is not safe to winch

down slope. Logs could roll unpredictably. Do not

winch across a slope.

• Do not operate on hillsides or when working area is

cluttered, wet, muddy or icy to prevent slipping and tripping.

• Keep all components of PTO systems shielded and guarded.

• Regularly test driveline guards by spinning or rotating them to make sure they have not become stuck to the shaft.

• Disengage the PTO and shut off the tractor before

dismounting to clean, repair, service, or adjust machinery.

• Walk around tractors and machinery rather than

stepping over a rotating shaft.

• Do not exceed a safe travel speed when transporting.

2.6 Equipment Safety Guidelines

• Keep all shields in place. If shield removal

becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield

prior to use.

• Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is

not readable or is missing. Location of such safety

signs are indicated in this manual on page 13.

• Do not modify the equipment in any way.

Unauthorized modication may result in serious

injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.

• Never exceed the limits of the machine. If its ability to do a job is in question, or to do so safely –

STOP !

2.7 Safety Training

• Safety is a primary concern in the design and

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our

efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.

• The best safety feature is an

informed, careful operator—we

ask you to be that kind of an

operator. It is the operator's

responsibility to read, understand and follow ALL safety and

operation instructions in the manual. Review Safety Sign Explanations on page 13.

• Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual before assembly or using the machine to acquaint yourself with it. If this machine is used by any

person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented,

it is the machine owner's responsibility to make

certain that prior to using, the operator:

- reads and understands the owner's manual

- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment

- understands and knows how to perform the Safe Condition procedure

FX66, FX85/R, FX110/R, FX140/R PTO Skidding Winch

Safety

• Train all new personnel and review instructions

frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person

will use the machinery. Anyone not familiar with

operation and safety instructions is not qualied to

use the machine. An untrained operator exposes

himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with the work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and

accommodated.

• Know your controls and how to stop the machine

quickly in an emergency. Read this manual

thoroughly.

2.8 Preparation

• Never use the machine until the operators have

been adequately trained in the safe operation

of the machine and have read and completely understand:

- safety, operation and feature sections of this manual

- each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on the machine.

- engine operator's manual

• Perform the Pre-start Checklist procedure before starting work (see Pre-Operation Checklist on page

30).

• Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that

shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.

• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged

condition.

• Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and are routed to avoid chang.

• Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-limiting device to a higher pressure than

specied.

Safety

• PPE is recommended during assembly, installation,

operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving the trailer. Do not

allow long hair, loose tting clothing or jewelry

around equipment.

• Prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause permanent hearing loss! Power equipment with or without equipment attached can

often be noisy enough to cause

permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time

basis if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80 dB. Noise over 85 dB on a long-term basis

can cause severe hearing loss.

Noise over 90 dB adjacent to

the Operator over a long-term

basis may cause permanent, total

hearing loss.

• Be aware of overhead hazards: branches, cables,

electrical wires.

• Use only in daylight or good articial light.

• Make sure that all safety shielding and safety signs

are properly installed and in good condition.

3. Familiarization

IMPORTANT! Before starting work with the winch, become familiar with the location and function of all controls.

3.1 To the New Operator

It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this manual and to train all other operators before they start working with the machine. Follow all safety

instructions exactly.

By following recommended procedures, a safe working environment is provided for the operator, bystanders and the area around the work site. Untrained operators are not qualied to use the machine.

3.2 Operator Orientation

IMPORTANT! When describing controls as mentioned throughout this manual, the directions for left-hand, right-hand, backward and forward, are determined when sitting in the tractor seat, facing the direction of forward travel.

3.3 Training

Each operator must be trained in the proper set-up and operating procedures prior to being allowed to operate

the machine.

1. Review control location, function and movement

directions.

2. Move the unit to a large open area to allow the

operator to become familiar with control function

and machine response.

3. When a new operator is familiar and comfortable

with the machine, they can proceed with the

work. Do not allow untrained operators to use the

machine. They can endanger themselves and others or damage property and the machine.

3.4 Job Site Familiarization

It is the responsibility of the operator to be thoroughly familiar with the work site prior to starting. Prevent the chance or possibility of problems or accidents by not being in the situation to start with. Some items the operators should check include but are not limited to:

1. Close or cramped work space. Be sure there is

sufcient space and clearance for the machine to

winch-in the log during operation.

Fig. 4 – Direction of forward travel

2. Organize the working area to minimize the

winching and wood removal distances. The shorter

the distances, the faster the work will be nished.

3. Use care when pulling logs from a pile as they can

roll when attaching the rope or winching.

4. Position the tractor so prevailing winds blow engine

exhaust fumes away from operator.

FX66, FX85/R, FX110/R, FX140/R PTO Skidding Winch

3.5 Equipment Condition

1. Periodically check the general condition of the

winch. Make sure that all nuts and bolts are secure and that a moveable parts are secured and in their

proper place.

2. Always inspect the rope as it is pulled out of the winch. Do not use the machine if the rope is cut,

frayed, worn or knotted. Any problem can result

in early failure and create an unsafe operating

condition. Replace damaged rope before resuming work.

13. Start the tractor and slowly raise the machine

up through its working range to make sure the

telescoping portion of the PTO shaft does not

bottom out.

To detach winch from the tractor, reverse the above

steps.

4.1 Determine Proper PTO Shaft Length

The PTO shaft that came with your machine may need

to be shortened. A longer shaft is supplied because

tractor lift arms vary in length.

It is very important that the PTO shaft is free to

telescope, and not bottom out when going through its working range. It should never completely collapse in use. If the shaft bottoms out, the bearings on both ends can be overloaded and could fail causing damage or

injury.

Fig. 8 – Winch Attached

9. Slide the collar back on the PTO shaft yoke. Align

the splines and slide the yoke on the tractor PTO.

10. Release the collar and make sure the locking pin clicks into position.

11. Attach the shield anchor safety chain to an

adjacent frame member. The chain keeps the

integral journal shield from spinning.

1. Remove the PTO shaft and mount the machine on the tractor three-point hitch.

2. Start the tractor and raise the three-point hitch up off the ground until the machine's input shaft is level with the tractor PTO output shaft.

3. Measure the distance between the locking grooves

on the tractor PTO shaft and the attachment input shaft (X) as shown.

12. Raise winch support legs to the storage position.

Insert snap lock pins.

Fig. 10 – Measurement A

4. Subtract 1" (25 mm) from this measurement. The

result is the required length of your PTO Shaft. Call this value A.

Attaching Winch to Tractor

5. Take the PTO shaft that came with your machine, fully collapse it, and measure the distance between the locking yokes.

Call this value B.

Fig. 11 – Measurement B

6. If this collapsed length B is longer than measurement A from Step 4, the PTO shaft must

be shortened.

4.2 Shortening PTO Shaft

1. Subtract A from the uncut PTO shaft measurement B. (B – A) The result is how much both halves of the PTO shaft need to be shortened. Call this value C. B – A = C

2. Pull the PTO shaft apart, then measure and cut the

length C from both the outer plastic covers and the inner metal tubes.

Tip: Use the cut off piece of outer shielding to mark the inner tube. Leave the steel center tubes longer than the plastic outer tubes, otherwise they can be harder to put back together.

Fig. 12 – Cut off the Length C from both PTO Shaft halves

3. Use a le to remove the burrs from the edges that

were cut.

4. Assemble the two halves of the PTO shaft.

5. Make sure the shaft can telescope freely before

installing. If it does not, separate the two parts and

inspect for burrs or cuttings on the shaft ends.

6. Install the PTO shaft, then raise and lower the

attachment to check clearances.

A correctly sized shaft should never bottom out or

come apart.

IMPORTANT! The two halves of the PTO shaft should overlap at least 6" (150 mm).

4.3 Winches with Remote Control

FX85R, FX110R and FX140R models include a wireless remote winch control. The system consists of a hand-held transmitter control and a receiver mounted on the winch.

For the remote to function, the following electrical and

hydraulic connections to the winch must be made.

Electrical Connection

• A 12 VDC, 1.5 amp power source is required from

the tractor electrical system.

• The white wire from the receiver should be connected to positive, black to ground.

• Connectors are not supplied on the wire ends.

Wire ends are supplied bare to permit different

adaptations.

Hydraulic Connection

• A valve on the winch controls the winch clutch.

The system is designed for an open-center

hydraulic system. Oil ow required is 1–2 gpm (3.8–7.5 L/m).

• The 1/2" pressure and return hoses have quick-

disconnect ends and are connected to the tractor rear remote power supply.

• The hoses have colored, protective caps to

indicate function. Red is pressure and blue is

return.

NOTE:

In the event pressure and return hoses

are not identiable, check the connection

on the control valve. An 'R' is indicated on the return port. A 'P' is indicated on the pressure port.

5.7 Lower Snatch Block

The FX85, FX110 and FX140 models have a lower

snatchblock. The main use of the lower snatchblock is to lower the pulling point, and make skidding more stable. This enables larger loads to be skidded. The snatchblock has three positioning holes on the FX110

and FX140.

5.8 Trailer Hitch

FX85, FX110 and FX140 models come with a heavy-

duty ball hitch that ts into the 2-inch square receiver

on the winch frame.

The trailer hitch is held in with a pin and clip.

5.9 Safety Screen

Each machine is equipped with a safety screen that

protects the operator from ying chips, twigs branches, and cable recoil in the unlikely event of breakage when skidding or winching. Always keep the safety screen in

good condition.

5.10 Remote Winch Control

Models FX85R, FX110R and FX140R have a remote winch control that provides a means of engaging/ disengaging the spring-loaded clutch from up to 300 ft (100 m) away from the winch.

5.10.1 Hand-held Transmitter

Each transmitter is pre-programmed with a unique code. The receiver is programmed to respond only to that transmitter. Other radio-controlled systems can

therefore work in close proximity without interference.

The transmitter has a lithium-polymer battery and 30–40 hours of use can be expected before recharging. A micro USB charger port is located on the top of the unit for charging. There are two LED indicators on the transmitter. The green LED ashes to indicate communication between the transmitter and the receiver. The red LED indicates battery voltage or system errors. It ashes to indicate low battery or a

system error.

6.3 Winch Safety

• Do not allow anyone within 20 ft (6 m) of logs when

winching. Logs can roll in unpredictable ways.

• Choose a at, solid skidding route for the tractor.

Avoid steep slopes.

• Check that the winching trail is clear of other trees and obstructions so logs can be winched in easily.

• Make sure the winch is lowered and that the tractor parking brake is applied. Operate with the winch blade lowered, on level ground to provide stability.

• Stand at 10 ft (3 m) to the side of winch when

operating it. Never stand directly in line with cable while pulling. If the cable slips or breaks it could snap back with deadly force.

• Never exceed a winching angle of ±25° from the centerline of the tractor. If unsure of winch angle,

reposition tractor or use a snatch block. Whenever possible winch in line with the tractor.

Fig. 29 – Safe Winch Angle

• When using snatch block, be aware of danger zone

created between the log, snatch block, and tractor.

00488

Fig. 30 – Using Snatch Block or Self-releasing Pulley

Operating Instructions

FX66, FX85/R, FX110/R, FX140/R

PTO Skidding Winch

• Do not winch with the tractor sitting sideways on a slope or hillside. Tractor could roll over. Always position the tractor in line with the direction of pull.

00490

Fig. 31 – Never Winch from the Side on a Slope

• Never winch down slope. Winching down a slope

could cause the log to roll or slide causing crushing

injuries. Always winch up-slope when possible.

6.4 Winching Logs

Points to Remember:

• Equip the tractor with weights on the front or a

front loader to provide stability. Weight on the front reduces the chance of the tractor tipping back or to

the side.

• Set the tractor park brake whenever the winch is being used or the operator is leaving the seat.

If operating on steep slopes is necessary, place

chocks behind all the tires to prevent the tractor

from slipping.

• When operating the winch, always stay at least 10 ft (3 m) to the side of the of machine.

• Lower three-point hitch and winch frame to the

ground when winching. The weight of the load

helps push the blade into the ground, anchoring

the winch and the tractor.

• Winching in from the top pulley lifts the end of the log up so it tends to dig into the ground less.

• Always wind cable in under load. Cable does not

wind in properly when not under load.

• Several logs can be hooked up and winched in at one time by means of keyhole sliders on the cable.

• Use a log chain or choker chain to connect to the winch cable. Do not use a rope or strap to prevent breakage from abrasion or snagging. Choker chains have a probe on the end that makes it

easier to pass the chain underneath the log.

1. Position the machine at the work site.

2. Lower the frame and the blade to the ground.

3. Set the park brake and stop engine.

4. Pull the cable out to the load. Avoid twists in the

cable.

5. Attach the choker chain to the log and to the cable

end.

6. Start tractor engine and engage PTO. Set throttle

to 1/4 to 1/2 range. (Winch speed is based on

tractor PTO speed and can operate up to 540 rpm.)

7. Stand to the side of the winch and pull rmly on the clutch rope to retract the cable and load.

IMPORTANT! Keep a steady, rm pull on the

clutch rope. Allowing the clutch to slip causes wear on the brake pads.

8. Release the clutch rope when the load is in the

desired position. Disconnect from the choker chain.

9. Winch additional logs as required.

IMPORTANT! When pulling cable out of the winch, avoid unwinding it FULLY to the end. Putting tension on it at this point could cause it to pull out of its anchor. Always leave at least two wraps on the drum spool.

6.5 Skidding Logs

Points to Remember:

• When skidding logs, route the cable through the

lower pulley so the tractor is more stable. Skidding

from the top of the mast could cause a tip over. On

the FX66, use chains in the keyhole slots to lower

the pulling point.

• Raise winch frame up above the ground to clear obstacles when skidding.

• Skid logs after they are winched up to the tractor. Be cautious of hills and rough terrain.

1. Turn the tractor PTO off and raise winch up above

the ground.

2. Lock the winch drum by pulling on the left-hand

(green) rope.

7.1.1 Hydraulic System Safety

• Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic

system are kept clean and in good condition.

• Make sure all connections are tight, and that lines, hoses and couplings are not damaged before

applying pressure to the system.

• Do not use a hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Hydraulic uid

escaping under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of cardboard.

• Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a

high pressure hydraulic leak.

• Seek medical attention immediately if injured by

a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic

uid. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic uid piercing the skin

surface.

• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, ttings or hoses by using tape,

clamps or cements. Doing so can cause sudden

failure and create a hazardous and unsafe

condition.

• Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system before working it. The hydraulic system operates under

extremely high pressure.

• Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that

shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.

• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged

Service and Maintenance

The PTO shaft is designed to telescope as the 3-point hitch goes through its operational range. A heavy duty

plastic tubular guard encloses the driving components.

The PTO shaft should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual

disassembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to make sure that all components function as intended.

Make sure that the universal joints are lubricated, inspect and lubricate every 50 hours.

The PTO shaft has a shear pin at the input yoke to

prevent overloading the drive system. The winch is designed to perform well without the shear pin failing.

However, if the pin does fail, generally it is because the

winch was overloaded.

7.4 Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubricate the drive chain every 50 hours of operation. A chain operating in a dry condition can

wear excessively leading to premature failure.

• Remove the lower protective shield on the front side of the winch.

• Spray or brush oil onto the lower drive chain. A good quality penetrating oil such as WD40® works well to reach the pin and bushing joints.

IMPORTANT! Avoid getting oil on the clutch brake pads. Lubricant on the pads can cause the clutch to slip.

Fig. 37 – Proper Roller Chain Lubrication

IMPORTANT! Make sure the lubricant reaches the joints (pins, bushings), which are subject to wear.

7.7 Drum Brake Adjustment

7.7.1 Winch Drum Brake Operation

The winch brake stops the drum from turning when there is no tension on the cable and the drum lock is not engaged. The brake must be set to hold the drum from freewheeling when the cable is not being pulled out to avoid tangling the cable.

As the cable is spooled off the drum, it is routed over the top of the brake assembly arm. The force of spooling the cable off the drum, moves the arm to release the brake. When the cable is no longer being spooled on, the spring pulls the arm back and engages the brake. The brake must be set to stop the drum from freewheeling when the cable is not being pulled out to avoid tangling the cable.

Remove lower protective shield from the front side of

the winch to access brake adjustment.

level area.

2. Lower the winch to the ground. Make sure support legs are lowered and locked in position. If the ground is soft, place a board or plate under the

legs.

3. Detach winch from the tractor. Keep the PTO shaft

out of the dirt by resting it on wood blocking.

4. Wash the machine to remove all dirt, mud, and

debris. Inspect all rotating parts and remove any

entangled material.

5. Check the condition of chain and sprockets.

Replace or adjust as required.
