4. Clevis Hook:
The clevis hook connects your vehicle to a recovery point.
Ensure that the hook is securely fastened to the winch
cable with the clevis and cotter pin.
5. Nylon Hook Strap:
A 12" long strap that holds the clevis hook. Made to keep
fingers away from the roller fairlead while winch cable is
being spooled in. Winches have tremendous force and can
remove fingers or limbs within a pinch point. Place the
hook into the loop end of the strap and hold the strap
between the thumb and the forefinger.
6. Roller Fairlead (Zinc Plated):
The fairlead guides the wire rope onto the winch drum and
minimizes wear and tear to the winch cable as it goes
through the winch mount or bumper.

Clutch Lever allows manual engagement/disengagement
from the gear train. Clutch must be fully engaged or in free
spool. Never attempt to shift lever when cable under
load (see WARNINGS section).
8. Solenoid Pack:
The solenoid pack is an electromechanical switch that
transfers power from the car battery to the winch motor
enabling the winch operator to change direction of the
winch drum rotation.
9. Winch Drum: (Spool)
The hardened metal cylinder core around which the wire
rope is wound. Driven by the Winch Motor.
10. Winch Electric Motor:
Winch motor is powered by the vehicle battery. The winch
motor provides the power and motion to the gear
mechanism, which turns drum to wind the wire rope.
