1-17. 11K SELF-RECOVERY WINCH (SRW)
Figure 1-17. 11K Self-Recovery Winch (SRW)
When specified, the vehicle is equipped with an 11K Self-Recovery Winch (SRW) (1, Figure 1-17) mounted on the right
frame rail. The 11K SRW is rated for 11,000 lbs (48,924 N) pull when the winch drum has one full layer of cable. One
full layer of cable is the minimum amount of cable that may be left on the drum when using the SRW. Pulling capacity
is reduced with each layer of cable that is added to the winch drum. Pulling capacity with seven full layers of cable
on the winch drum is 6,780 lbs (30,157 N). The 11K SRW cable may be routed to the front or rear of the vehicle for
recovery operations. The 11K SRW is equipped with a fail-safe brake which is spring applied and hydraulically
released. The fail-safe brake is automatically applied when hydraulic pressure falls below 270 psi (1,862 kPa). The
fail-safe brake will hold the load until hydraulic pressure is restored. The winch control valve functions as a throttling
valve when cable is being payed out. The winch control valve controls the flow of fluid to the winch motor. When cable
is being pulled in, the winch control valve acts as a free flow check valve. The winch control valve is preset at the
factory and is not to be adjusted under any circumstances.
