Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Superwinch LT4000 ATV Winch

Today we are going to be taking a look at the Super Wench LT4000 ATV wench. The wench is going to feature a rated line pull of 4000 pounds, and it is going to feature a sealed 1.4 horsepower permanent magnet motor. It's going to contain reinforced steel drums, that are designed for synthetic rope, and it is going to have a relocated in motor break which is going to protect the rope from heat. The gearing on the unit is going to be machine cut metal gears, that's really going help increase shock load performance. Right here at the front we are going to have an aluminium hawse fairlead that is going to reduce wear and tear on the synthetic rope. It does feature a free spooling clutch with and ergonomic control located right here on this side of the wench. It's got two positions, you are going to have an engage position and a disengage position. Engaged means that it is ready for wrenching, disengaged allows the wench to go into a free spool mode, that way you can grab the hand saver strap, extend the line out quickly to where you need it, and then when you are ready to wench you just want to make sure that it is fully moved back over to the engaged position. It's going to come with some different remotes to control the in and out functions of the wench.

You are going to get a 12 foot long hand held remote, that way you can operate the wench from a safe distance. It's also come with the handle bar rocker switch, that way you can mount this to the handle bar on your ATV and control the wench from the seat of your ATV. It's going to come with the wiring and the mounting port for the handheld remote to connect into. So this would hard wire into the unit and then you would mount this at a convenient location on the ATV and then when you want to use the handheld remote you just plug the two in and then you can operate that from a safe distance away. Again, the handheld remote is going to measure 12 foot long, and you are going to have plenty of wiring here for the handle bar rocker switch to get all that mounted correctly and mounted to the ATV. All the necessary wiring and hardware is included.

It's going to come with the battery leads, the solenoid to wench connectors, that's going to have the inline circuit breakers, so all the wiring and hardware for the rocker switch and the handheld remote is included as well. When it comes to the mounting plate, I already have it mounted on there, but this right here is our mounting plate. The wench simply mounts to it. The mounting plate is going to measure 6 inches by 5 and 1/8 of an inch. It's going to come with your rubber boots. That's these six parts right here.

The rubber boots are going to protect the wiring connectors, so you are going to get two for the wench, two for the included solenoid assembly, that's this unit right here, and two for the battery posts on your ATV. Now when installing all the different components and making your wiring connections, please refer to and follow the included instructions that come with the wench. When it comes to the gearing, we are looking at a three stage planetary gearing system. The gear ratio is 166 to 1. It does have the sealed solenoid and then it's going to have the inline circuit breakers right there, so the circuit breakers are protected. It's going to feature an automatic 100% load holding break. The synthetic rope on the unit is going to measure 50 feet long, by 3/16 of an inch in diameter.

Here on the end it's going to have the forged steel heavy duty clevis pin, that's going to have the hook and it's going to have the safety latch mechanism to prevent accidental disconnecting. It's also going to come with a hand saver strap. The drum diameter is going to measure 2 inches. The dimensions of the wench, we are looking at about 13 inches long, just the wench itself from the front of the wench to the back of the wench is going to be about 4 and 1/4 inches wide, and then the height from top to bottom is going to be about 4 and 1/4 inches tall. On the bottom of the wench, you can't really see it because I have it already installed on the mounting plate, but basically right here where I have the four bolts installed, that's the mounting points on the bottom of the wench. Those mounting holes are going to be separated on center going this direction by 3 inches, and then going across this direction it's going to be 4 and 7/8 of an inch. Again, all the wiring and necessary hardware is included to get the unit installed, and it comes with really nice detailed instructions as well as a owners manual to help with maintenance responsibilities and it's going to recommend replacement parts. It makes everything very easily accessible as an owner of the wench and all the components. That's going to do it for today's look at the Super Wench LT 4000 ATV wench.
