1.
Remote Switch
–
Dual switches for powering the
rope in or out of your winch drum.
2.
Motor
– 1.3 HP (1.0 kW) 12V DC motor provides
power to the planetary gear mechanism.
3.
Planetary Gear System
–
The reduction gears
convert the winch motor power into extreme
pulling forces. This system allows high torque
while maintaining compact size and light weight.
4.
Braking System
– Braking action is automatically
applied to the winch drum by a separate
mechanical brake when the winch motor is
stopped and there is a load on the rope.
5.
Winch Drum
– The winch drum is the cylinder on
which the rope is stored. It can feed or wind the
rope depending on the remote winch switch.
6.
Free Spooling Clutch
–
The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“Out”) the
spooling drum from the gear train, free spool.
Engaging the clutch (“In”) locks the winch into the
gear system.
7.
Aluminum Hawse
– When using the winch at
an angle the hawse acts to guide the synthetic
rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the
synthetic rope from abrasion on the winch mount
or bumper.
