PERFORMANCE
Your winch is a very powerful
machine. Treat it with respect, use it
with caution and always follow these
safety guidelines.
The responsibility
for safeinstalla-
tion and operation of the winch and
prevention of personal injury and
property damage ultimately rests
with you, the operator. There is
no substitute for the use of good
judgement and caution in operating
a winch.
The wire rope
may break before
the winch stalls. For heavy loads, use
a pulley block to reduce the load on
the wire rope.
1. Do not maintain power to the
winch if the motor stalls. Overloads
can damage the winch and/or the
wire rope and create unsafe oper-
ating conditions. FOR LOADS OVER
2/3 RATED CAPACITY, WE
RECOMMEND THE USE OF THE
OPTIONAL PULLEY BLOCK TO
DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE
(Figures 1). This reduces the load on
the winch and the strain on the wire
rope by approximately 50%. If
attaching back to vehicle, attach to
the frame or other load bearing part.
The vehicle engine should be
running during winch operation
to minimize battery drain and
maximize winch power and
speed. If considerable winching is
performed with the engine off, the
battery may be too weak to restart
the engine.
2. AFTER READING AND
UNDERSTANDING THIS
MANUAL, LEARN TO USE
YOUR WINCH. After installing the
winch, practice using it so you will
be familiar with it when the need
arises.
3.
DO NOT “move”your vehicle to
assist the winch in pulling a load.
The combination of the winch and
vehicle pulling together could
overload the wire rope and the
winch itself.
4. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do
not allow people to remain in the
area during winching operations.
ALWAYS STAND CLEAR OF WIRE
ROPE/HOOK AND WINCH. IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT OF ANY COMPO-
NENT FAILURE IT‘S BEST TO BE OUT
OF HARM‘S WAY.
5. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIP-
MENT FREQUENTLY. A FRAYED
WIRE ROPE WITH BROKEN
STRANDS SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. Always replace
wire rope with the manufacturer‘s
identical replacement part (see
Replacement Parts List). Periodically
check the winch installation to
ensure that all bolts are tight.
6. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when
handling wire rope. DO NOT LET
WIRE ROPE SLIDE THROUGH YOUR
HANDS EVEN WHEN WEARING
GLOVES.

An electric winch is like any othe motor
driven power tool such as an electric drill
or saw. The electric motor should not be
allowed to become excessively hot.
Normal,precautions will extend the life
of your motor. Keep the duration of pulls
as short as possible. If the end of the
motor becomes uncomfortably hot
to touch, stop winching and allow the
motor to cool down.
If the winch
motor stalls,
do not continue to apply power
to the winch.
Brake housing
will get hot
during extended power out operation.

7. NEVER WINCH WITH LESS
THAN 5 TURNS of wire
rope AROUND THE
WINCH DRUM since the wire rope
end fastener will NOT withstand
a load. Your winch wire rope has
a ten-foot red “warning indica-
tor”on each end. The “warning
indicator”at the winch end
warns you that the wire rope is
near or less than 5 turns. The
“warning indicator”at the hook
end of the wire rope warns you
that the hook is approaching the
winch. ALWAYS USE THE HAND-
SAVER when guiding the wire
rope in or out (see Figure 2). As
you use your winch, the red paint
will wear off due to normal use.
When this happens, renew the
red paint as it is a safety fea-
ture of the winch.
8. KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH,
TAUT WIRE ROPE AND
HOOK WHEN OPERAT-
ING WINCH. Never put your
finger through the hook. If your
finger should become trapped in
the hook, you could be injured.
Never guide a wire rope onto
the drum with your hand.
9. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE
BACK ONTO ITSELF. You could
damage the wire rope. Use a
nylon sling (Figure 3).
10. Lay a heavy blanket or jacket
over the wire rope near the
hook end when pulling heavy
loads (Figure 4). Should a wire
rope failure occur, the cloth will
act as a damper and help pre-
vent the rope from whipping.
Raise the hood of the vehicle for
added protection.
11. NEVER USE YOUR WINCH
FOR LIFTING PEOPLE OR
MOVING PEOPLE.
12. Your winch is not intended for
overhead hoisting operations.
13. AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS
FROM EXTREME ANGLES as this
will cause the wire rope to pile
up at one end of the drum
(Figure 5). This can jam the wire
rope in the winch, causing damage
to the wire rope or winch itself.
14. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING
INSTRUCTION LABELS.
15. Always operate winch with an
unobstructed view of the
winching operation.
16. Equipment such as tackle, hooks,
pulley blocks, straps, etc. should
be sized to the winching task
and should be periodically
inspected for damage that could
reduce their strength.
17. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL
CLUTCH WHEN THERE IS A LOAD
ON THE WINCH.
18. STORE THE REMOTE PENDANT
ASSEMBLY IN A SAFE PLACE
when not in use to prevent use
by children or other unautho-
rized persons who could injure
themselves or others.
19. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH
WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION.
20. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE REMOTE
PENDANT BEFORE WORKING IN
OR AROUND THE FAIRLEAD OR
WINCH DRUM (THE DANGER
ZONE) so that the winch cannot
be turned on accidentally.
21. When moving a load, slowly
take up the wire rope slack until
it becomes taut. Stop, recheck
all winching connections. Be
sure the hook is properly seated.
If a nylon sling is used, check the
attachment to the load.
22. When using your winch to move
a load, place the vehicle trans-
mission in neutral, set vehicle
parking brake, and chock all
wheels.
23. DO NOT USE THE
WINCH TO HOLD
LOADS IN PLACE. Use
other means of securing loads
such as tie down straps.
Superwinch offers a wide variety
of tie downs. Contact your local
Superwinch dealer.
24. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED
SWITCHES, REMOTE CONTROLS
AND ACCESSORIES. Use of non-
factory approved components
may cause injury or property
damage and could void your
warranty.
25. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD
ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such
alterations may weaken the
structural integrity of the winch
and will void your warranty.
26. DO NOT CONNECT WINCH
TO EITHER 110 VOLT AC HOUSE
CURRENT OR 220V MAINS AS
WINCH BURNOUT OR FATAL
SHOCK MAY OCCUR.
27. Never allow shock loads to be
applied to winch or wire rope.
28. Always operate your winch in
an underwound orientation
only.

MOUNTING YOUR WINCH
Improper
mounting
can cause personal injury.
Improper mounting could
damage your winch and void
warranty.
MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
For 12 Volt winches, a 60 amp
alternator and battery with 440
cold-cranking amperes capacity are
the minimum recommended power
sources. If the winch is in heavy use,
an auxiliary battery is recommended.
Under some circumstances, it may
be appropriate to install additional
circuit protection devices (circuit
breakers). If in doubt, seek
appropriate advice.
Superwinch recommends that all inch
electrical systems can be readily and
quickly isolated from their electrical
supply in the event of an emergency.
The winch electrical system should
always be isolated when the winch
is not in use.
1. Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
2. Mount the winch to a mounting
kit base plate or to the mount
that you designed.
Do not sub-
stitute any
strength grade weaker than
SAE Grade 8 (ISO 10.9).
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
Automobile bat-
teries contain
gasses which are flammable and
explosive. Wear eye protection
during installation and remove all
metal jewelry. Do not lean over
battery while making connections.
3. Route the long red and black color
coded wires to the battery. To
ensure against insulation abrasion
and/or cutting, apply several layers
of electrical tape where wiring may
come in contact with sharp parts on
the vehicle. Attach the red color
coded wire to the battery positive
terminal, and reattach the terminal
to the battery.
If your vehicle is equipped with side
pole terminals, it may be necessary
to obtain auxiliary side terminal
bolts from your local auto parts
dealer to make these connections.
Connect the black color coded wire
to the battery negative terminal,
then connect the terminal to the
battery.
4. Turn the freespool clutch lever to
the “free”position. Pull several
feet of wire rope off the drum.
Return the clutch lever back to
the “Engage”position. Plug in
remote pendant control. Push
button momentarily to check
wire rope drum rotation direc-
tion. If drum rotates in the wrong
direction, recheck your wiring.
To prevent
unauthorized
use of the winch, remove pendant
control and store in a clean dry area
such as the glove box.
PENDANT OPERATION
The handheld pendant switch
activates a solenoid that activates
power to the winch motor.
To connect the pendant control,
remove the cover on the plug
receptacle and insert the plug end
of remote switch. The plug on the
pendant control cord is keyed and
will fit into the socket only one
way.
The switch trigger returns to the
“Off”position when released.
To change direction, move the
toggle in the other direction.
The switch
assembly
must be kept free of dirt and
moisture to ensure safe operation.

6. EQUIPPING THE WINCH WITH A
ROLLER FAIRLEAD will substantially
reduce wear on the wire rope
during angle pulls (Figure 11).
The rollers eliminate heavy rubbing
and abrasion to the wire rope.
Periodically check tightness of
mounting bolts and electrical con-
nections. Remove any dirt or corro-
sion that may have accumulated on
the electrical connections.
Repairs should be done by
Authorized Superwinch Repair
Centers ONLY. Do not attempt to
disassemble the gearbox.
Disassembly will void warranty.
LUBRICATION
The gearbox and drum bearing are
permanently lubricated with a high
performance gear lube.
REPLACING THE WIRE ROPE
Never substitute a heavier or lighter
wire rope. Never use rope made of
any other material other than wire.
Always replace damaged wire
rope with manufacturer’s
identical replacement part (see
Replacement Parts list). Pass attaching
end of wire rope through the fairlead (if
equipped) and attach it to the drum.
When inserting the wire rope into
the drum, insert it into the correct
end of the hole provided (Figure
12). Tighten the set screw securely.
It is important that the wire rope
be wound tightly onto the drum.
A good way to do this is to attach
the wire rope hook to a fixed object
at the top of a slight incline, then
winch the vehicle up the incline.
When wire rope is removed from
the drum, as in bringing the hook
to the load, the freewheel feature
of the winch should be used.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the load-holding brake
in your winch will wear. Should you
find the load beginning to slip,
adjustments can be made to the
brake mechanism as follows:
1) Loosen the 3 retaining bolts and
remove the brake cover. (Ref.#25
Figs. 13, 14)
2) Remove the two retaining C-rings.
(Ref.#35 Figs. 13, 14)
3) Insert washers to maintain a spacing
of .090" +/- .010" between the C-ring
grooves and the brake actuating cam.
(Ref.#21 Figs. 13, 14)
4) Re-install the two C-rings and
brake cover.
PULLING OUT THE WIRE ROPE
The wire rope has been installed on
your winch under minimal load at
the factory. The wire rope must be
respooled onto the drum under
load so that the outer layers will
not draw down into the inner ones
thereby damaging the wire rope.
Rotate the clutch lever to the “Free
position as shown in Figure 8. If
there is a load on the wire rope, the
clutch lever may not turn easily. DO
NOT FORCE THE CLUTCH LEVER.
Release tension on the wire rope by
jogging out some of the wire rope,
then try releasing the clutch. Pull
out the wire rope and secure to
anchor or load. Check that there
are at least five (5) turns of wire
rope left on the drum. Re-engage
the drum by rotating the clutch
lever to the “Engaged”position
(see Figure 8).
Lever must be in
the engaged
position and locked before winching.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
THE WINCH
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE
ROPE DRUM. Do not allow the
wire rope to become loosely
wound. A loosely-wound drum
allows a wire rope under load to
work its way down into the layers
of wire rope on the drum. When
this happens, the wire rope may
become wedged within the body
of the windings damaging the
wire rope. To prevent this prob-
lem, keep the wire rope tightly
and evenly wound on the drum
at all times. A good practice is to
rewind the wire rope under ten-
sion after each use. One way to
do this is to attach the hook to a
stationary object at the top of a
gradual incline and winch your
vehicle up the incline.
2. DO NOT ALLOW WINCH MOTOR
TO OVERHEAT. Remember, the
winch is for intermittent use only.
During long or heavy pulls the
motor will get hot. The internal
parts will be hotter than the case.
To check the motor temperature,
stop winching and carefully touch
the motor case, if the motor is
uncomfortable to touch, allow
the motor to cool before continu-
ing. KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING
TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY dur-
ing this break.
3. To maximize winch and wire rope
life, use a pulley block to double
line heavier loads (Figure 9).
4. The pull required to start a
load moving is often much
greater than the pull required
to keep it moving. AVOID
FREQUENT STOPPING AND
STARTING during pull.
5. PREVENT KINKS BEFORE THEY
OCCUR.
