Ratchet Pawl Spring for Jayco L&W Winches
This is a replacement Ratchet Pawl Spring for the winch used on many Jayco pop-up campers with the L&W lift system. This small spring is a critical safety component responsible for engaging the ratchet pawl (the 'clicker'), which prevents the winch from unwinding under the weight of the roof.
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING & FAILURE SYMPTOMS
If your winch is not "clicking" as you crank up or is not holding the load, a broken pawl spring is a likely cause. This is a major safety failure.
Symptoms of a broken pawl spring include:
- The winch operates silently (no clicking sound).
- The crank handle spins backward freely when you let go.
- The winch WILL NOT support the weight of the roof, allowing it to drop.
Do not operate your camper with a faulty pawl spring. Replace it immediately.
Key Features:
- Restores Winch Safety: Pushes the pawl into the ratchet gear to lock the winch.
- Essential for Brake Function: Without this spring, the winch's primary safety lock is disabled.
- Compatibility: For L&W system winches used on Jayco campers.
- Durable Spring Steel: Built to withstand constant flexing.
