Traveller 4500lb Winch

Product Overview

This Traveller winch features a permanent magnet DC12V motor with 1.5hp output and a 166:1 gear reduction ratio. It is designed for intermittent duty general use and horizontal applications. Key specifications include a max line pull of 4500lbs (2041kgs), a cable length of 47.6ft (14.5m) of 15/64in (6mm) diameter cable, and a net weight of 33.9lbs (15.4kgs).

The winch includes a free spool clutch operated by a pull and turn knob, which disengages the gearbox to allow cable release. Important safety precautions are detailed, including never lifting people, avoiding overloads, and ensuring proper cable winding and mounting.

Installation and Operation

Proper installation is crucial for operation. The manual details mounting procedures, including the use of specific hardware (M8 screws, nuts, washers). It emphasizes correct cable winding direction and secure battery connections. The document guides users through checking drum rotation direction and connecting the winch to the vehicle's electrical system.

Operating instructions cover engaging and disengaging the clutch, using the hand saver bar to hitch the hook, and re-spooling the cable. Warnings are provided regarding minimum cable turns on the drum and avoiding operation with a damaged cable.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Regular maintenance involves checking mounting bolts and electrical connections for tightness and cleanliness. The gearbox is factory-lubricated and does not require internal lubrication. The manual advises against disassembling the gearbox, recommending professional service for repairs.

A troubleshooting section addresses common issues such as the motor not turning, the cable drum not turning, slow motor operation, motor overheating, and the motor running in one direction. Solutions involve checking connections, switch assemblies, battery voltage, and clutch engagement.
