NOTE
The electric winch is an optional kit which may or may not be installed
on the vehicle.
a. General.
The vehicle electrical system is used to power the winch. It is
recommended to have engine running while operating the winch so the alternator
recharges the battery. Increased engine rpm can be maintained by use of the hand
throttle. When engaging or disengaging the clutch, it may be necessary to rotate the
drum by hand to align gears.
b. Preparation for Use.

Park vehicle directly facing object to be winched.
(2)
Apply parking brake (para. 2-13).

SPOOL for paying out long lengths of winch cable. Failure to FREE
SPOOL long lengths of winch cable may cause damage to winch.
