PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EU and EUL winches are powered by a radial piston air motor. The output from
the motor is transferred to the drum by the motor shaft. The motor shaft rotates a
series of connected spur gears which form a reduction assembly. Output from the
reduction assembly drives the wire rope drum. Spur gears are not inherently self-
locking as other types of gears are, therefore the brake must be applied whenever
there is a load supported by the load line.
Model:
EU = 2,000 lbs (908 kg) Winch with standard drum length
EUL = 2,000 lbs (908 kg) Winch with long drum length
Options:
AB = Automatic drum band brake
RC = Remote full flow control
RCAB = Remote full flow control and automatic band brake
PTAB = Remote full flow pendant and automatic band brake
AB/PT = Remote pilot pendant and automatic band brake
AB/PLT = Remote pilot lever throttle and automatic band brake
E = Construction cage
G = Drum guard
J = Air line accessories
L = Extended warranty†
P = Marine 812 Finish†
P1 = Marine 812–X Finish†
W = Client witness of load test†
(1) Remote full flow throttles are provided with 6 feet (2 metres) of hose. Specify hose lengths greater than 6 feet. For lengths greater than 20
feet (6 metres) with the Remote Full Flow Throttle, or 66 feet (20 metres) with the Remote Pilot Lever and Remote Pilot Pendant Throttles
contact your Ingersoll Rand distributor or the factory for control acceptability. Metric lengths are provided for reference only, order lengths
in feet. (Used with Auto Band Brake only.)
(2) RC without AB is for pulling applications only. Do not use for lifting or lowering, as the operator may be too far away to operate a manual
brake.
(3) Free spool clutches are standard on classic winches. A disengaging clutch, however, will not be supplied on units ordered with automatic
brakes (AB).
INSTALLATION

Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of this product before
installing or putting product to use. • Maintain at least 3 tight wraps of wire rope on the drum at all times.
• Do not use wire rope as a ground (earth) for welding.
NOTICE • Do not attach a welding electrode to winch or wire rope.
• Install wire rope to come off drum for overwind operation (normal
application).
• Prior to installation refer to Product Safety Information Manual for all
sections of installation.
