Winch Rope
The winch motor is powered by the vehicle's battery. The motor provides
power to the gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the
winch rope.
The winch drum is the cylinder onto which the winch rope feeds. The
drum is driven by the motor and drive train. Its direction can be changed
using the Advanced Wireless Remote Control.
The winch rope's diameter and length are determined by the winch's load
capacity and design. Wrapped around the winch drum and fed through
the fairlead, the winch rope is looped at the end to accept the hook's
clevis pin.
For synthetic rope models, be sure to fully read these instructions to
familiarize yourself completely with the Advanced Wireless Remote
Control operation before you attempt to install the optional synthetic
rope. See your WARN® Synthetic Rope Installation Instruction Manual
for detailed synthetic rope installation instructions.
The reduction gear converts the winch motor power into a large pulling
force. The gear train design makes it possible for the winch to be lighter
and more compact.
The remote controlled clutch is concealed within the end cap housing.
It is controlled by the Advanced Wireless Remote Control. It allows
for engagement and disengagement of the clutch with the Advanced
Wireless Remote Control.
Using electrical power from the vehicle's battery, the control pack's
contactor switches power to the motor, enabling the operator to change
the direction of the winch drum rotation.
For specific applications, the optional Control Pack Relocation Kit details
can be found at your WARN® Authorized Dealer or www.warn.com.
