an easy action lever which disen-
gages the gearbox to allow the
wire rope to be pulled out without
using electric power. A spring-
loaded drag mechanism reduces
backlash and snarling when pulling
out the wire rope.
Remote Switch – 15' (4.5m) hand
held pendant switch assembly.
Mounting – Optional custom engi-
neered mounting kits are available
for vehicle frame attachment.
