Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with your WARN® winch and each of its components:
Motor
:
The winch motor is powered by the vehicle’s battery. The motor provides
power to the gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the
winch rope.
Winch Drum:
The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The
drum is driven by the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed
using the Advanced Wireless Remote Control.
Winch Rope:
The winch rope’s diameter and length are determined by the winch’s load
capacity and design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through
the fairlead, the winch rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s
clevis pin.
For synthetic rope models, be sure to fully read these instructions to
familiarize yourself completely with the Advanced Wireless Remote
Control operation before you attempt to install the optional synthetic
rope. See your WARN® Synthetic Rope Installation Instruction Manual
for detailed synthetic rope installation instructions.
Transmission:
The reduction gear converts the winch motor power into a large pulling
force. The gear train design makes it possible for the winch to be lighter
and more compact.
Remote controlled clutch
:
The remote controlled clutch is concealed within the end cap housing.
It is controlled by the Advanced Wireless Remote Control. It allows
for engagement and disengagement of the clutch with the Advanced
Wireless Remote Control.
Control Pack:
Using electrical power from the vehicle’s battery, the control pack’s
contactor switches power to the motor, enabling the operator to change
the direction of the winch drum rotation.
For specific applications, the optional Control Pack Relocation Kit details
can be found at your WARN® Authorized Dealer or www.warn.com.

Wireless Control Activation Switch:
The wireless control activation switch activates or deactivates the
wireless control unit. This switch
must
be ‘ON’ (activated) in order
for the Advanced Wireless Remote Control to operate the winch.
The wireless control unit uses a very small but constant current from
the vehicle battery. It is recommended to turn the switch “OFF”
(deactivate) the unit to prevent draining the vehicle battery when not
operating the vehicle for an extended period of time.
Auxiliary Power Ports (1 and 2):
The auxiliary power ports allow you to connect and control two
separate auxiliary systems from the winch.
The optional Auxiliary Kit details can be found at your WARN®
Authorized Dealer or www.warn.com.
Remote Controlled Clutch Wire Harness
: The remote controlled clutch wire harness plugs into the winch
control pack.
