Section I: Winch Anatomy
This section will familiarize you with the name and
purpose of the major Q Series Winch parts & components.
1. Controller:
Sends the flow of electrical power to the winch motor to
tell the winch what you want it to do. The remote switch
has three positions: Power In, Power Out and Off. Long
cord allows operator to stand clear of the winch line.
2. Synthetic Winch Line (with Chafe Guard):
Q-Series winches with synthetic winch line are 85’ in length
and 3/8” in diameter. The synthetic line is wrapped around
the winch drum and fed through an aluminum hawse style
fairlead. The line is attached to the clevis hook.
3. Safety Latch:
The safety latch is a spring loaded mechanism to assist in
keeping rigging apparatuses in place. Be sure the safety
latch is free of debris and check the clevis hook periodically
to ensure safety latch is functioning properly.
