Power Winch Installation

When the 2883 Power Winch is used as an electric winch, the Input Shaft Assembly must be changed, as shown

Note: If the Winch has already been installed, make sure there is no load on the Winch before attempting
to change the Input Shaft Assembly.

The winch must be located in the center of the feeder line so that there is equal pull from both directions.
NOTE: If the Power Winch is to be located at the end of the feeder line, do not use the 24401 Winch Bracket.
For end mounted installations, secure the Winch directly to the two 2 x 6's (50 x 150 mm) specified
in step #1, below.
1. Use two 5/16-18x2-1/2" bolts on the front and each side of the bracket to mount the Winch Bracket to two 2
x 6's (50 x 150 mm) that will span at least three trusses as shown in Figure 20.
2. Lift the boards, with the Bracket attached, into position and secure to framing members on the ceiling.
If the hopper is located at the center of the feeder line, locate the Power Winch a few feet offset from the center
of the feeder line. However, the Winch Drum must be directly in line with where the main cable is to be
installed.
3. Bolt the Power Winch to the Winch Brackets using 3/8" hardware provided.
If the system is to be over 350' (107 m), install the Cable Hooks (supplied in Hardware Package) between the
mounting bolt and Power Winch frame, as shown in Figure 20.
4. Use a 1/4" Socket Hd. Screw and 1/4" locknut to attach the Heavy Duty Input Shaft to the Power Unit Shaft
as in Figure 20.
5. Bolt the Power Unit to the Power Unit Bracket.
