this feature to help reduce the possibility of accidental
powering on when not in use. See your specifi c drill/

Clutch Operation:
Never engage or disengage clutch if
WARNING
winch is under load, winch rope is in tension or drum is
moving.
The clutch allows the operator to
disengage the drum from the gear train,
enabling the drum to rotate freely, known as
"freespooling". Engaging the clutch "locks"
the winch drum back onto the gear train.
The clutch lever, located on the winch
housing opposite the dril/driver shaft,
controls the clutch position.
The clutch is engaged when the clutch
dial is rotated to the "lock" position.
ENGAGED/LOCK
KNOW YOUR WINCH
The clutch is disengaged when the clutch
dial is rotated to the "unlock" position.
DISENGAGED/UNLOCK
The clutch will not disengage the
geartrain if there is tension on the winch
rope greater than 15 lbs. When switching
from engaged "lock" to disengaged
"unlock" the drive shaft may need to be
rotated one half turn to allow freespooling.
To prevent damage, always fully lock
(engage) or fully unlock (disengage) the
clutch lever.
WARNING
Always ensure the clutch is fully
engaged or disengaged.
