GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WINCH

 

Your  winch  is  a  powerful  piece  of  machinery.  It  is  important  that  you 

 

understand the basics of its operation and specifications so that when you 

need to use it, you can use it with confidence and safety. Below is a list of 

the  components of  your  winch  and  their  use.  You  should  practice  using 

your winch before you are in a situation where you need to use it. 

1.  Your   EWP4500   winch   is   part   of   our   new   product   line   which   has   been 

 

engineered with several patented technologies. 

 

Motor:  Your  3.2/3.9hp  motor  is  powered  by  a  12/24  volt  battery  and  provides 

power to the gear mechanism which turns the drum and winds the wire rope. 

Winch Drum: The winch drum is the cylinder on which the wire rope is stored. It 

can feed or wind the rope depending on the remote winch switch. 

Wire  Rope  (cable)

Your  winch  has  a  1/4"X47.6'  galvanized  aircraft  cable 

designed specifically for load capacity of 4500lbs. The wire rope feeds onto the 

drum in the 

“under wind” position through the roller fairlead and is looped at the 

end to accept the clevis hook pin. 

Roller  Fairlead:  When  using  the  winch  at  an  angle  the  roller  fairlead  acts  to 

guide the wire rope onto the drum and minimizes damage to the wire rope from 

abrasion on the winch mount or bumper. 

Mechanic  Gear  System:  The  reduction  gears  convert  the  winch  motor  power 

into extreme pulling forces. 

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. 

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. 

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.
