Power Winch (Option); Set Up For Operation; Rolling Rates And Grade Modifications - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

POWER WINCH (OPTION)

Your sport untility trailer has been supplied with a manual of operating instructions from the
manufacturer. Make sure to read all information pertaining to the power winch operation before
attempting to use it. Follow the instructions below for setting up the power winch to load vehicles
into your sport utility trailer.

Set up for Operation

Carry the power winch into the cargo area of your sport utility trailer. Plug it into the power source
which is located inside the cupboard on the front off door side of the trailer. Attach the anchor chains
to the D-ring mounted in the floor of the trailer (Fig. 3-9). Position the power winch as far away
from the D-ring so that the anchor chains are taught. The length of the chains are adjustable in the
slot on the power winch bracket (Fig. 3-10). Verify that the chain link securing the chain to the
bracket is attached properly so the link inside the bracket will hold in the chain slot.

Rolling Rates and Grade Modifications

Rolling rate loads apply to the weight of wheeled vehicles. Some examples are automobiles,
wagons, and railroad cars. Grade modifications refer to the change in force required to pull an object
up an incline. The following diagram shows the relationship between grade and rolling rate load.
Many factors affect rolling rate load such as tire width and pressure, outside temperature and ramp
surfaces. Actual rolling rate loads may very. The dimensions below provide information to
calculate the approximate rolling rate for your Talon Sport Utility Trailer.
