winch cut out switch

(1/2) > >>

chuggaman:
after this big splash

my winch decided to wind itself all the way out


all by itself!!!


so a cutout switch was the order of the day

Littledan:
where was that mate  :shock: lol

looks good

looks like u been busy :D

muddyweb:
Absolutely right !

If anyone out there doesn't have a cutout switch on their winch... do it *now*

Paying out is bad enough..... but when it pays in on its own there is a big risk of bodily harm and electrical fire  :shock:

Xtremeteam:
Mike,
id advise you to get a bigger cut of switch as if thats one with the red handles they dont like the heavy current a winch can pull,just got 2 lucas ones of ebay for £33 & they can handle somethin like 1500A for 5 sec or 600A for a minute

get somethin like this -- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4583624247&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT
