ATV Tools

Features:This hook stopper is for the ATV and UTV Winch. The winch will fit between the two outside rollers on an ATV or UTV winch fairlead. Works well with rope or slot fairlead. This Winch stopper stops wear and tear on your rollers from the hook. No more hook clatter going down the trails. It protects the winch motor and gears from pulling the cable in too far and bottoming out on the rollers. The winch stopper keeps tension on the hook to eliminate the cable from becoming too loose. Not only can you damage your rope, but you can also damage the sliding surfaces on your fairlead. This means that the next time you use it, your rope will be sliding across a marred surface which will snag it, cut it, and wear it down. Nobody wants that to happen.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINCH STOPPER:For your protection: Please wear leather gloves when installingFree spool winch, and pull out approx. 2 feet of cable.Pull hairpin and release clevis pin from the winch hook.Remove the four bolts that fasten the two halves of the Split Hook Cable Stopper together.Place the cable or rope between the two halves, insert the four bolts, then tighten.Re-attach hook to cable end.To stow the hook, grip clutch, and retract cable on winch spool until hook is snug against hook stopper and fairlead.Position the hook stopper at approx. 3/4 of the total line distance towards hook, while using your winch.WINCH PROTECTION:This winch protects all ATV UTV aluminum hawes and ropesEliminates rattling when going down trailsStops clevis hook from pulling though the roller fairlead.Protects the winch motor and gears from pulling the cable too far and bottoming out on the rollersPlace on front of the vehiclePrevents oxidation and corrosionWaterproofPackage Included:1 winch cable hook stopper4 solid iron screws (screws are covered in zinc for extra protection)1 Allen wrench
