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):
1.22 HP 12V DC motor provides power
to the planetary gear mechanism.
Winch Drum (2):
The winch drum is the cylinder
on which the cable is stored. It can feed or wind
the rope depending on the remote winch switch.
Synthetic Cable (3):
15/64” x 38’ Synthetic cable
designed specifically for load capacity of 7,000lbs.
(36 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 (“RELEASE”) 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.
UTV Dash Mounted Rocker Switch (8):
Dash
mounted switch for easy access with a premium
look and quality.
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
