With the Prowinch® winch, you will never be stuck again, by
using lightweight strong internal components make this design
extremely durable yet affordable. To begin, you should familiarize
yourself with your Prowinch® winch and its components:
Motor: 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 wire rope IWRC (Synthetic Rope for s
models) .
Winch Drum: The drum is an steel reinforced cylinder, driven
by the motor and gear train. You can easily change the wire
rope or adjust its direction using the remote control.
Gear Train: The reduction gear, with three stage planetary,
converts the winch motor power into a large pulling force, ma-
king the winch a lighter and more compact equipment.
Braking System: The brake is automatically applied to the
winch drum when the winch motor is stopped and there is
load on the wire rope, preventing the winch from paying out
the line, a safe and reliable system.
Clutch: Using the freespool lever, the operator can manually disengage the spooling drum from the gear box, enabling the
drum to rotate freely. Never engage or disengage the clutch if
winch is under load, wire rope is in tension or moving.
Fairlead: The fairlead acts to guide the wire rope onto the
spooling drum, minimizing damage to the wire rope while it
goes through the winch mount or bumper. There are two ty-
pes: 4- Way Roller and Aluminum Hawse for S models.
Wire Rope: The steel wire rope is installed on the drum. Wire
rope’s diameter and lenght are determined by the winch’s load
capacity and design. The wire rope is looped at the end to ac-
cept the hook’s clevis pin.You can easily change the wire rope
or adjust its direction. There are two types of ropes according
to the model of your winch, IWRC and Synthetic Wire Rope.
Remote Control: The remote control allows the operator to
control the winch direction from a safe distance.
Control Box: Using electrical power from the vehicle’s battery,
the control box solenoids switch power to the motor, enabling
the operator to change the direction of the winch drum rota-
tion.
