CLUTCH OPERATION
When the clutch is engaged the gear train is coupled
to the rope drum and power may be transferred
from the winch motor. When the clutch is in free
spool the gear train and rope drum are uncoupled
allowing the drum to rotate freely. The clutch knob,
located on the winch housing opposite the motor,
controls the clutch position. To prevent damage,
always fully engage or fully disengage the clutch
knob.
REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH
Do not leave the remote plugged into the winch
when not in use. Leaving the remote plugged in, may
result in a dangerous condition and/or battery drain.

OVERLOADING/OVERHEATING
This winch is rated for intermittent duty. When the
motor approaches stall speed, very rapid heat
buildup occurs which may cause motor damage.
Double-line rigging (see Basic Guide to Winching
Techniques) will reduce the amperage draw, and
reduce heat buildup in the motor. This allows longer
continual use.
