This special tool helps stabilize the LokHead Winch when it is used for long raises, heavy loads, and drill-powered operations. Harken recommends using the Protect-Connect for drill operations because it provides greater stability and allows for higher drill speeds. Once installed, the Protect-Connect increases the maximum allowable drill speed from 60 RPM to 400 RPM. When using a powered drill, only operate the winch in the 40:1 mechanical advantage mode. This reduces stress, as well as wear and tear, on the drill and the gears of the winch. Includes screws for mounting on the winch. Compatible with LokHead Winch models certified to NFPA or EN standards (manufactured in 2020 or later). Not EN 13157 compliant.
Features:
- Stabilizes the LokHead Winch, especially for long raises / heavy loads
- Recommended for drill powered operations (winch must be in 40:1 mode)
- Allows for drill speeds up to 400 RPM (without it, the max drill speed is 60 RPM)
- Works in combination with the Power Tool Adapter to fit all standard drill chucks
- May be used with a drill, Power Tool Adapter, and LokHead Winch Kit (NFPA) for human suspension
