KNOW YOUR WINCH
Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with your WARN® winch and each of its components:
Wireless Control Activation Switch
Auxiliary Power Port 2
Control Pack
Motor
Auxiliary Power Port 1
Transmission
Remote Controlled Clutch
Winch Drum
Remote Controlled Clutch Wire Harness
Winch Rope
Motor :
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.
Wireless Control Activation Switch:
The wireless control activation switch activates or deactivates the wireless control unit. This switch must be ‘ON’ (activated) in order for the Advanced Wireless Remote Control to operate the winch. The wireless control unit uses a very small but constant current from the vehicle battery. It is recommended to turn the switch “OFF” (deactivate) the unit to prevent draining the vehicle battery when not operating the vehicle for an extended period of time.

Auxiliary Power Ports (1 and 2): The auxiliary power ports allow you to connect and control two separate auxiliary systems from the winch. The optional Auxiliary Kit details can be found at your WARN® Authorized Dealer or www.warn.com.
