CONTROLS AND fEATURES
ConTrols and feaTures
Read this operator’s manual before operating your winch. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the
control features. Save this manual for future reference.
1.
Motor
– 1.30 HP 12V DC motor provides power to
the planetary gear mechanism.
2.
Winch Drum
– The winch drum is the cylinder on
which the cable is stored. It can feed or wind the
cable depending on the switch assembly.
3.
Steel Cable
– 3/16 in. x 45.9 ft. Galvanized aircraft
cable designed specifically for load capacity of 3,000
lbs. (44 usable feet with five wraps on the drum).
The cable 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).
4.
Roller Fairlead
– When using the winch at an angle
the roller fairlead acts to guide the steel cable onto
the drum and minimize damage to the cable from
abrasion on the winch mount or bumper.
5.
Free Spooling Clutch
– The clutch allows the
operator to manually disengage (“Release”) the
spooling drum from the gear train. Engaging the
clutch (“Engage”) locks the winch into the gear
system.
6.
Braking System
– Braking action is automatically
applied to the winch drum when the winch motor is
stopped or there is a load on the cable.
7.
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.
8.
Mini Rocker Switch
– Handle bar mounted switch
for powering cable in/out of the winch drum.
9.
Hand Held Remote
– Hand held switch with a
remote socket for powering the cable in or out of
your winch drum.
