4. Clevis Hook:
The clevis hook connects your vehicle to a recovery point.
Ensure that the hook is securely fastened to the winch line.
5. Nylon Hook Strap:
A 12” long strap that holds the clevis hook. Made to keep
fingers away from the hawse fairlead while winch line is

remove fingers or limbs within a pinch point. Place the
hook into the loop end of the strap and hold the strap
between the thumb and the forefinger.
6. Hawse Fairlead (Machined Aluminum):

and minimizes wear and tear to the line as it goes through
the winch mount or bumper.

from the gear train. Clutch must be fully engaged or in free
spool. Never attempt to shift lever when cable under
load (see WARNINGS section).

The solenoid pack is an electromechanical switch that
transfers power from the car battery to the winch motor
enabling the winch operator to change direction of the
winch drum rotation.
9. Winch Drum:
(Spool)
The hardened metal cylinder core around which the winch
line is wound. Driven by the Winch Motor.
10. Winch Electric Motor:

motor provides the power and motion to the gear
mechanism, which turns drum to wind the winch line.
