2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and keep wire away to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the accessory for any damage and repair damage before restarting and using the accessory.

4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

5. Take all possible precautions when leaving the vehicle unattended. Disengage the power take-off, lower the attachment, place the transmission into neutral, set the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the contact key.

6. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting in or out of the building. Do not operate or let motor run in a storage area without ventilation because gas contains carbon monoxide which is odorless, colorless and can cause death.

2. Check all the bolts and components at frequent intervals to make sure that they are properly tightened.

3. Never store a motorized accessory with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

4. Always refer to the owner’s manual when you store the accessory and vehicle for a prolonged or an unspecified length of time.

5. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

6 For winter accessories, (if applicable), let the engine run for a few minutes after clean snow in order to prevent the rotary parts from freezing.

7. Inspect the vehicle’s and accessory’s air filter (if applicable) every day. Clean it or replace it as necessary. Change the oil more often when working in dusty conditions. See the vehicle’s and accessory's owner’s manual.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls & proper use of the attachment. Know how to stop the attachment quickly

.

IMPORTANT:

THE WINCH KIT IS TO BE USED ONLY TO LIFT

BERCO ACCESSORIES, ANY OTHER USE MAY

CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

CONTROLS

IMPORTANT:

In order to avoid draining the battery of the vehicle, always start the engine before using the winch .

THE WINCH CONTROL SWITCH

Push up or down the winch control switch to lift or lower the accessory to the ground.

There is a limit switch stopper that limits the lifting.

Always prestretch cable and respool under load before installing the hook on the accessory. A tightly wound cable reduces chances of binding, which can cause damage to the cable.

To prolong the winch cable’s life, release the winch control switch as soon as the accessory touches the ground. This will keep the cable from tangling up, causing premature wear of the cable.

WINCH CABLE MAINTENANCE

To reduce the risk of cable failure during the season, we recommend changing the winch cable every year.

Install the new winch cable as shown in figure in the parts breakdown.

MAINTENANCE

a) Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure equipment is in safe working condition. b) Apply oil at all pivot points. c) To prolong the life span of the winch, make sure the snap mount switch works well.

BELT REPLACEMENT

Belt for the accessories:

SEE ATTACHMENT OWNER'S MANUAL

(SNOWBLOWER AND BROOM) FOR REPLACING

INSTRUCTIONS.

Drive Mechanism Belt: a) Dismount the drive mechanism. b) Remove the bolt which retains the tension pulley. c) Replace the belt and re-install the tension pulley.

Before tightening make sure the belt guide does not touch the belt at any time. d) Re-install the drive mechanism. e) Check the alignment of the belt that joins the drive mechanism to the engine pulley.

VERIFY TIRE PRESSURE:

Tire pressure must be even on both sides of the tractor according to the vehicle’s owner’s manual.

DISMOUNTING & STORAGE

DISMOUNTING

SEE ATTACHMENT OWNER'S MANUAL

(SNOWBLOWER, BROOM AND BLADE) FOR

DISMOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS.

STORAGE

a) Clean and paint all parts from which paint has worn. b) Apply oil at all pivot points. c) Inspect and replace all defective parts before using again.

b) Remove the rear counterweight when you remove the front attachment (if applicable). c) Remove the belt from the engine pulley. d) Dismount the drive mechanism by supporting it in your hand. Carefully lower to the ground.

Manual clutch activated by cable:

Unhook cable shield by removing the hair pin.

Unhook spring. Pull out drive mechanism from underneath tractor. e) You may leave the subframe on tractor all year long or remove it if preferred. f) Reinstall mower if needed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

* Please refer to parts breakdown section for parts identification .

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION

Winch runs backwards.

Winch will not operate or runs in one direction only.

Winch wires reversed.

Switch wires reversed.

Switch installed incorrectly.

Battery wires reversed.

Recheck wiring.

Recheck wiring.

Check switch installation.

Recheck wiring.

Winch cable is not winded up from the bottom of spool.

Wind winch cable from underneath.

Vehicle’s ignition switch is at OFF Turn vehicle’s ignition switch at ON position. position.

Broken wires or bad connection.

Control switch is inoperative.

Relay or breaker is damaged.

Check for poor connections.

Replace control switch.

Replace the relay or breaker.

Winch runs but with insufficient power or line speed.

Limit switch is damaged.

Winch is damaged.

Weak battery.

Poor battery connection.

Winch is damaged.

Replace limit switch.

Replace or repair winch.

Recharge or replace battery.

Check charging system

Check battery terminals for corrosion. Clean when required.

Replace or repair winch.

HOW TO KNOW

Poor connections.

POINTS TO CHECK

Recheck wiring with the owner's manual

HI/LOW voltage tester does not work. Connect it on battery posts (+ and -) of a functional battery.

If there is no light, the tester is damaged.

Test both connectors with HI/LOW voltage tester.

If light comes ON in both positions (IN & OUT), the switch is operative.

Relay is damaged

Winch is damaged

The limit switch is damaged.

The breaker is damaged.

When it is working, there is a "CLICK" sound when the control switch is activated. Check connections with HI/LOW voltage tester.

The ultimate test is to connect the winch directly to the battery and reverse the wires to test both directions. If the winch doesn't work, it is damaged.

When the limit switch is pushed or stuck inside, the winch can't raise the accessory, only lower it. If not replace it.

Check the voltage on both terminals on the breaker with the HI / LOW voltage tester. If not replace.
