1.01 GENERAL - The information contained in this revision pertains exclusively to the Adams®
Model CD Lite Continuous Duty Winches manufactured after June 1, 1995 which have serial numbers
of 95-8000 and higher.
The CD Lite winch has been specifically designed for placing innerduct, fiber optic, coaxial and other
types of communications media where typical pulling forces are not expected to exceed 2000 lbs. (8.9
kN). However, its robust construction and SAE Continuous Duty rating makes the CD Lite suitable for
most applications where a long, continuous pull is required. In its typical automotive application the
winch is driven hydraulically - for mobile mounting, using the truck engine as the prime source of
power, through a split shaft or side mount power take-off, coupled to a hydraulic pump, driving a hy-
draulic motor that is mounted to the full load brake, which is assembled directly onto the gearbox.
