Winch

Motor (1): 1.7 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.
Synthetic Cable (3): 15/64" x 50' Synthetic
cable designed specifically for load capacity of
7,000lbs. (47 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.
SE45w
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.
Cable Hook Stopper (13): Protects the
Rollers, motor and gears
