( C O N T. )
Drum Clutch – Operated by an
easy action lever (painted red)
which disengages the drum to
allow the wire rope to be pulled
out without using electric power.
The drum clutch is multi-splined for
low contact pressure.
Control Solenoids (relays) –
Boxed pair solenoids can be mount-
ed directly on winch or remotely as
required.
Remote Control – 12 ft. hand
held remote control assembly with
an interlocking reverse switch and
trigger is engineered to the same
standards as the winch.
Mounting – Attaching position
allows for platform or chassis
mounting in under wind mode only.

An electric winch is like any other
motor driven power tool such as an
electric drill or saw. The electric
motor should not be allowed to
become excessively hot. Normal
precautions will extend the life of
your motor. Keep the duration of
pulls as short as possible. If the end
of the motor becomes uncomfort-
ably hot to touch, stop winching
and allow the motor to cool down.
If the winch
motor stalls,
do not continue to apply power to
the winch.

Your HUSKY 10 winch is a very pow-

before the winch stalls. For heavy
loads, use a pulley block to reduce
the load on the wire rope.
1. THE HUSKY 10 winch is rated at
10,000 pounds capacity. DO NOT
OVERLOAD. DO NOT ATTEMPT
PROLONGED PULLS AT HEAVY
LOADS. DO NOT MAINTAIN
POWER TO THE WINCH IF THE
MOTOR STALLS. Overloads can
damage the winch and/or the
wire rope and create unsafe
operating conditions. FOR HEAVY
LOADS, WE RECOMMEND THE
USE OF THE OPTIONAL PULLEY
BLOCK AND HOOK ASSEMBLY
(PART NO. 7750A) TO DOUBLE
LINE THE WIRE ROPE (FIG. 2). This
reduces the load on the winch

STRANDS SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. Always replace
wire rope with the manufactur-

(see Replacement Parts List). Any
substitution must be IDENTICAL
in strength, quality, lay and
stranding. OTHER EQUIPMENT
used with the winch such as tack-
le, hooks, pulley block, straps, etc.
should be inspected for damage
that could reduce their breaking
strength.
