STARTING AND OPERATING
Understanding The Features Of Your Winch
Winch Components
1. Motor: The winch motor is powered by the
vehicle charging system.
2. Remote Socket: The remote socket (which
will be located on the bumper assembly)
allows the remote control to be attached to
the control pack to allow the winch to
function.
3. Winch Drum With Integral Brake: The winch
drum allows the rope to be stored on the
winch and transmits force to the rope. The
winch is equipped with an integral brake
that will stop rotation of the winch drum if
the winch motor is stopped.
4. Synthetic Rope: The synthetic rope allows
the winch to be connected to an anchor to
provide a pulling force. This synthetic rope is
highly flexible, lightweight, and it floats.
5. Clutch Lever: The clutch lever allows the
winch drum to be disconnected from the
winch motor to allow the rope to be pulled
from the winch by hand.
6. Remote Control: The remote control provides
the interface between the winch operator and
the winch. The remote control provides the
ability to power the winch in, out, and stop the
winch. To operate the winch, the toggle switch is
pressed down to power the winch in and up to
power the winch out. The winch will stop if the
switch is left in the neutral (center) position.
CAUTION!
If not installed, the hook strap must be
placed on the hook.
