Motor (1): 1.3 HP 12V DC motor provides
power to the planetary gear mechanism.
Winch Drum (2): 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 (3): 3/16" x 45.9' galvanized
aircraft cable designed specifically for load
capacity of 3,00lbs. (44 useable feet with five
wraps on the drum). The wire rope feeds
onto the drum in the "under wind" position
through the roller fairlead (4) and is looped
at the end to accept the clevis hook pin (12).
Roller Fairlead (4): 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.
Free spooling Clutch (5): The clutch
allows the operator to manually disengage
("FREESPOOL") the spooling drum from
the gear train. Engaging the clutch
("ENGAGE") locks the winch into the gear
system.
Braking System (6): Braking action is
automatically applied to the winch drum

when the winch motor is stopped and there
is a load on the wire rope.
Planetary Gear System (7): The
reduction gears convert the winch motor
power into extreme pulling forces. This
system allows high torque while maintaining
compact size and light weight.
Rocker Switch (8): Rocker switch with
handlebar mount for powering the rope in or
out of your winch drum.
Hand Held Switch (9): Hand held switch
with a remote socket for powering the rope
in or out of your winch drum.
Fairlead Mount (10): Adapter to mount
the winch and fairlead for utility
applications.
Contactor (11): Power from the vehicle
battery flows through the weather sealed
solenoid switch before being directed to the
winch motor.
Clevis Hook (12): Provides a means for
connecting the looped ends of cables to an
anchor.
