 Never engage or disengage the clutch if the winch is underload or wire rope is under tension.
When the clutch is engaged the gear train is coupled to the wire rope drum and power may be transferred
from the winch motor. When the clutch is in freespool the gear train and wire rope drum are uncoupled
allowing the drum to rotate freely. The clutch lever, located on top of the motor, controls the clutch position.
To prevent damage, always fully engage or fully disengage the clutch lever.
