Controls and Features

Read this owner’s manual before operating your winch. Familiarize yourself with the location and 

function of the controls and features. Save this manual for future reference.

Motor (1):

 1.5 HP 12V DC motor provides power 

to the planetary gear mechanism.

Winch Drum (2):

 The winch drum is the cylinder 

on which the wire rope is stored. It can feed or 

wind the rope depending on the remote winch 

switch.

Synthetic Cable (3):

 3/16” x 50’ Synthetic cable 

designed specifically for load capacity of 5,000lbs. 

(48 useable feet with five wraps on the drum).  The 

synthetic rope feeds onto the drum in the “under 

wind” position through the roller fairlead (4) and 

is looped at the end to accept the clevis hook pin 

(12).

Roller Fairlead (4):

 When using the winch at an 

angle the roller fairlead acts to guide the synthetic 

rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the 

synthetic rope from abrasion on the winch mount 

or bumper.

Free spooling Clutch (5):

 The clutch allows the 

operator to manually disengage (“FREESPOOL”) 

the spooling drum from the gear train. Engaging 

the clutch (“ENGAGE”) locks the winch into the 

gear system.

Braking System (6):

 Braking action is 

automatically applied to the winch drum when the 

winch motor is stopped and there is a load on the 

synthetic rope. 

Planetary Gear System (7): 

The reduction gears 

convert the winch motor power into extreme 

pulling forces. This system allows high torque 

while maintaining compact size and light weight.

Rocker Switch (8):

 Rocker switch with handle-

bar mount for powering the rope in or out of your 

winch drum.

Hand Held Switch (9):

 Hand held switch with a 

remote socket for powering the rope in or out of 

your winch drum.

Fairlead Mount (10):

 Adapter to mount the winch 

and fairlead for utility applications.

Contactor (11): 

Power from the vehicle battery 

flows through the weather sealed solenoid switch 

before being directed to the winch motor.

Clevis Hook (12):

 Provides a means for 

connecting the looped ends of cables to an 

anchor.

Cable Hook Stopper (13): 

Protects the Rollers, 

motor and gears
