174 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
3. Remote Socket: The remote socket (which will
be located on the bumper assembly) allows
the remote control to be attached to the
control pack to allow the winch to function.
4.
Winch Drum With Integral Brake: The winch
drum allows the rope to be stored on the winch
and transmits force to the rope. The winch is
equipped with an integral brake that will stop
rotation of the winch drum if the winch motor
is stopped.
5.
Synthetic Rope: The synthetic rope allows the
winch to be connected to an anchor to provide
a pulling force. This synthetic rope is highly
flexible, lightweight, and it floats.
6.
Clutch Lever:
The clutch lever allows the winch
drum to be disconnected from the winch motor to
allow the rope to be pulled from the winch by hand.
Fairlead: The hawse fairlead acts as a guide for the
synthetic rope and minimizes damage to the rope.
WINCH ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are necessary to attach
the winch to anchors, change direction of pull, and
for safe winching.
Gloves: It is extremely important to wear
protective gloves while operating the
winch or handling the winch rope. Avoid
loose fitting clothes or anything that
could become entangled in the rope and other
moving parts.
Snatch/Block Pulley: Used properly, the
multi-purpose snatch block allows you to
(1) increase the winch's pulling power;
and (2) change your pulling direction
without damaging the winch rope. Proper use of
the snatch block is covered in “Before You Pull.”
Clevis/D-Shackles: The D-Shackle is a
safe means of connecting the looped
ends of cables, straps and snatch blocks.
The shackle's pin is threaded to allow
easy removal.
Tree Trunk Protector: Typically made of
tough, high-quality nylon, it provides the
operator an attachment point for the
winch rope to a wide variety of anchor
points and objects, as well as protects living trees.
Abrasion Sleeve: The abrasion sleeve is provided
with the synthetic rope and must be used with the
synthetic rope at all times to protect the rope from
potential abrasion wear. The sleeve has a loose fit
so it can easily be positioned along the synthetic
rope to protect from rough surfaces and sharp
corners.
OPERATING YOUR WINCH

If not installed, the hook strap must be placed
on the hook.
