Shipping weight increases slightly: the standard winch ships at 70kg (without rope or accessories), and the XL winch ships at 80kg. These weights ensure the winch is built for heavy-duty tasks and can withstand demanding recovery situations.

How do I select the correct voltage for my Red Winch?

The Red Winch comes with an Albright solenoid, which allows you to select the control voltage for the winch motor. The voltage applied to the 3-spade terminals of the Albright motor solenoid will determine the winch's operation. The Albright power terminals are compatible with both 12V and 24V systems, allowing flexibility depending on your vehicle's electrical setup. Be sure to follow the user manual's guidelines to select the correct voltage.

What type of batteries are compatible with the Red Winch?

For optimal performance, the Red Winch is tested with x2 Odyssey PC1750 batteries using a 12V supply. These batteries provide the necessary power for both operation and reliability during recovery tasks. Ensure that negative connections are made with 70 mm² cable to maintain proper power transmission and avoid potential power issues.

What features does the Red Winch offer for heavy-duty recovery?

The Red Winch features high-quality components designed for demanding recovery tasks. It is equipped with high-efficiency copper bus bar assemblies for better electrical connections. The winch also comes with a hard anodised aluminium fairlead for improved durability. Additionally, it includes Plasma Lock to secure the rope to the drum and features an Albright heavy-duty Ultimate solenoid for reliable control. The Red Winch Air Brake System adds to its high-performance capabilities, making it ideal for off-road and commercial use.

How do I install the Red Winch on my vehicle?

Installing the Red Winch requires mounting it securely to your vehicle's bumper or chassis. Ensure that the necessary electrical connections are made correctly, including the Albright solenoid. You will also need to set up the control voltage based on your vehicle's electrical system (12V or 24V). If you are unsure about the installation process, we recommend professional installation to ensure everything is connected correctly. The High Mount Guy offers installation services to guarantee your Red Winch is mounted securely for optimal performance.

What is the Red Winch Air Brake System?

The Red Winch Air Brake System is a feature designed to provide additional safety during recovery operations. This system helps secure the load by using air pressure to engage the brake, ensuring that the winch operates safely under heavy loads. The air brake system is a vital safety feature that prevents the rope from slipping and ensures smooth and controlled winching, especially during high-stress recovery tasks.

How should I maintain my Red Winch for long-lasting performance?

To ensure your Red Winch continues to perform at its best, regular maintenance is essential. Clean the winch after each use to remove dirt, mud, or debris that may have accumulated. Inspect the rope for fraying or damage, and lubricate the moving parts to prevent wear. Check the electrical connections for any signs of corrosion or damage, and make sure the solenoid and motor are operating properly.
