Warn Industries Introduces 1.5ci ATV Winch
Ideally suited for lightweight ATVs and sport bikes

Clackamas, OR (February 9, 2004) Warn Industries introduces the WARN 1.5ci Winch, an entry-level product for use on lightweight ATVs and sport bikes. With the introduction of the 1.5ci, Warn now offers a full-range family of winches and accessories for the ATV market.

The WARN 1.5ci is a compact winch that weighs in at just 11.5 lbs. (5.2 kgs.) but delivers 1,500 lbs. of pulling power. A new 0.4 hp. 12V DC motor-with minimal amp draw-and three-stage planetary gear train combine to deliver consistently reliable performance for both short and extended run times with very little heat build-up.

Operator controls include a fixed-mount mini rocker switch and contactor (both environmentally sealed), and a cam-activated clutch lever for easy winching and free spooling. A mechanical brake is included as a standard feature. In addition, the 1.5ci features a corrosion-resistant aluminum drum with Warn's proven cable retention system for easy wire attachment.

With a patent-pending design, the WARN 1.5ci is suitable for use on today's most popular ATVs and sport bikes. These include Artic Cat DVX 400, Kawasaki KFX 400, Polaris Predator 500, Suzuki LTZ 400 and Ozark 250, and Yamaha 660R Raptor and Warrior. Warn has engineered bolt-on mounting systems to precisely fit each model, with no cutting or fabricating required. Further, these mounting systems are uniquely designed to distribute winch load throughout the ATV's frame, which minimizes any impact on alignment, ride and handling. Additional mounting kits will be introduced in the near future.

A WARN 1.5ci kit comes with 50 ft. of aircraft grade wire rope, hook with clasp, hook strap and hawse fairlead. An available accessory kit includes a shackle, snatch block and tree trunk protector. The winch is backed by a one year limited warranty.
