Please Note: Winch is designed primarily for intermittent applications. This winch is not

commercial use. Please contact our Customer Service Department for further information.
Congratulations on your choice!

Each winch is equipped with a permanent magnet motor and is designed for intermittent
duty general use. The winch is not designed to be used in industrial or hoisting applications
and the manufacturer does not warrant it to be suitable for such use.
Freespool Clutch is operated by a pull and turn knob which disengages the gearbox to
allow the wire rope to be pulled out without using electric power. A tension plate reduces
backlash and snarling when pulling out the wire rope.

* A 10% slope is a rise of one foot in ten feet. Slope in approximate degrees is also shown above.
** All loads shown are for single-line operation. Double-line operation with optional pulley block
(see Figure 2) approximately doubles capacity of winch.
