FREESPOOL
For winches equipped with the FREESPOOL option, a
sliding sleeve with splines engages the drum pinion gear
and the intermediate gear. When the control lever is in the
FREESPOOL position, the sliding sleeve disengages the
drum pinion gear from the intermediate gear. The gear
train is disengaged from the clutch and brake shaft so that
the wire rope can be pulled from the drum by hand. Only
the drum and drum pinion gear rotate when the wire rope
is pulled from the drum during a FREESPOOL operation.
CAUTION
Shifting to FREESPOOL with a suspended
load on the wire rope will cause the load
to fall uncontrollably.
Extended Heavy Duty Drawbar
Optional extended heavy duty drawbars are available
which increase the capacity of the drawbar and/or move
the pin farther back so it is not under the winch drum.
CAUTION
Do not used the drawbar as an anchor
point for a multipart line from the winch.
