56 Capstan winch 1800, 1200, 400

Intended use

The capstan winch is a machine that is exclusively suitable for pulling
heavy loads over the ground. During this work, the performance limits
of the machine must always be observed (see "Technical specifica-
tions" on page 94). The capstan winch is licensed for use in the
following areas:
• in forestry,
– to pull heavy loads in areas that are inaccessible to large machines,
– to guarantee the winch-assisted felling of trees,
– to erect cable crane systems,
• during rescue operations, to pull vehicles that are stuck or involved
in an accident,
• for retrieving dead game,
• in construction work for pulling construction materials, cables or
lines.
You must not use the capstan winch for climbing trees, height rescue
or for pulling up suspended loads. The capstan winch is not designed
for dynamic loads. The load must not drop jerkily in the pulling rope.
The pulling rope between the load and the capstan winch must be
taut at all times, or must only be slightly relieved of tension. It is prohi-
bited to transport persons. The capstan winch is intended exclusively
for operation by one person. Two or more persons must never operate
a capstan winch.
Intended use also includes the complete reading and understanding of
this manual and in particular of the chapter "Safety instructions" on
page 55.

Improper use

Any improper use is prohibited. Improper use includes
• conversion or modification of the capstan winch,
• removing or modifying safety devices,
• any other use of the capstan winch apart from those uses described
in the chapter "Intended use",
• using the capstan winch under operating conditions that depart
from those specified in this manual.
Improper use of the machine voids all guarantee claims.
