The winch motor is powered by the vehicle's battery. The motor provides power to the
gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the winch rope.

The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The drum is driven by
the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed using the remote control.

The winch rope's diameter and length are determined by the winch's load capacity and
design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through the fairlead, the winch rope is
looped at the end to accept the hook's clevis pin.

The clutch allows the operator to manually disengage the spooling drum from the gear
train, enabling the drum to rotate freely (known as “freespooling”). Engaging the clutch
“locks” the winch drum back onto the gear train.

Using electrical power from the vehicle's battery, the control box's contactor switches
power to the motor, enabling the operator to change the direction of the winch drum
rotation.

The remote socket is where the operator plugs in the wired remote control in order to
control the winch.
