Manual Clutch Function
The clutch allows rapid pay-out of the wire rope for hooking onto a load or anchor points
and is operated by a clutch T-handle.
The clutch T-handle must be in the “Engaged” position before winching.
1). To disengage, lift/pull the clutch T-handle up and turn it at 90° counter-clockwise rotation to
the “Disengaged” position, wire rope can now clutch off the drum.
2). To engage, lift/pull the clutch T-handle up and turn it at 90° clockwise rotation to the “Engaged”
position.
3). If a clutch T-handle can’t be properly locked in the “Engaged” position, rotate the drum to
make the clutch device engage to the gear train.
4). Wear leather gloves and use a strap when guiding the wire rope on and off the drum.

Recovery Damper
A recovery damper is a safety device designed to help eliminated
the possibility of injury or property damage in the event of a wire
rope failure. Place in the middle third of a live rope. The damper
can help absorb the energy in the rope and reduce the likelihood
of injury or damage.
Snatch Block
An important aid to successful winching is the use of snatch
block, which can be used to increase the pulling power of a winch
or change the direction of a pull.
A winch double lined with a snatch block creates a mechanical
leverage cutting the effort required by half.
The double line pull shows self recovery using a snatch block
attached to an anchor point; the pull applied to the vehicle is almost
twice as much as the line pull of the winch.
The use of one snatch block shows an indirect pull where the
vehicle is limited due to unsuitable ground or obstruction.
