Figure 1-30. M1089 30K Winches

c. M1089 30K Winches. The left and right 30K winches (1, Figure 1-30) are designed to be used for recovering

stranded vehicles from the rear of the M1089. The 30K winches are rated for a 30,000 lbs (13,620 kgs) pull with only

one full layer of cable on the winch drum. Pulling capacity is reduced with each layer of cable that is added to the

winch drum. Pulling capacity with a full drum of cable is 15,830 lbs (7,187 kgs). One full layer of cable is the minimum

amount of cable that may be left on the drum when using the winch. The winch 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. The 30K winches are equipped

with pay-in/reel out spoolers (2) to keep tension on the cable when cable is payed-in/reeled out. The 30K winches can

be controlled from either the M1089 control panel (3) or from the remote control (4).
