7. Braking System: Braking action is automatically applied to the winch drum
when the winch motor is stopped and there is a load on the wire rope. A
separate mechanical brake applies the braking action.
8. Control System: Your winch was made to provide you the ability to use it in a
medley of operations. The winch can be controlled by using the Power
Cord/Switch Assembly or through a solenoid control box.
9. Free Spooling Clutch: The clutch allows the operator to manually disengage
(“CLUTCH OUT”) the spooling drum from the gear train, free spool. Engaging
the clutch (“CLUTCH IN”) locks the winch into the gear system.
10. Solenoid: Power from the vehicle battery flows through the weather-sealed
switch before being directed to the winch motor.
11. Remote Switch: The Power switch leads have a dual switch for powering in or
powering out your winch drum. The Power switch leads allow you to stand clear
of the wire rope when the winch is under load.
12. Wireless Remote Control: allow you control winch far from 50 Ft away.
13. Universal Flat Bed Mounting Channel: Your winch could have been optional
supplied with a flat bed mounting channel that can be mounted to most flat
surfaces such as trailers, step bumpers, truck beds, etc. The mounting channel
also has holes to accept your roller fairlead.
14. Snatch Block: If Your winch is supplied with a snatch block that can double the
pulling power of the winch, or change the pulling direction without damaging the
wire rope. We recommend you to use double line and snatch block for pulling
over 70% of the rated line pull.
