INTERMITTENT DUTY
An electric winch is like any other
motor driven power tool such as an
electric drill or saw. The electric motor
should not be allowed to become exces-
sively 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 con-
tinue to apply power to the winch.
European Union
Noise The noise level of this winch in operation is below 92 dB(A).
Emergency Stop In order to conform to Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, each machine installation must be
fitted with a suitable isolator whereby the machine can be brought safely to a complete stop.

5
Your SAC1000 winch is a very pow-
erful machine. Treat it with respect,
use it with caution and always fol-
low these safety guidelines.
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. The SAC1000 winch is rated at
1,000 pounds (454 kg) (single
line) capacity on the wire rope
layer closest to the drum. DO
NOT OVERLOAD. DO NOT
ATTEMPT PROLONGED PULLS AT
HEAVY LOADS. Do not maintain
power to the winch if the motor
stalls. Overloads can damage the
winch and/or the wire rope and
create unsafe operating condi-
tions. FOR LOADS OVER 750
POUNDS (340 KG), WE RECOM-
MEND THE USE OF THE OPTION-
AL PULLEY BLOCK TO DOUBLE
LINE THE WIRE ROPE (Figures 2 &
17). This reduces the load on the
winch and the strain on the wire
rope by approximately 50%.
2. AFTER READING AND UNDER-
STANDING 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. 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 COM-
PONENT FAILURE IT IS BEST TO BE
OUT OF HARM‘S WAY.
4. 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.
5. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES
when handling wire rope. DO
NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE
THROUGH YOUR HANDS EVEN
WHEN WEARING GLOVES.
6. 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. ALWAYS USE THE HAND-
SAVER BAR when guiding the
wire rope in or out (see Figure 3).
GENERAL SAFETY
INFORMATION
Figure 2
Single Line
Double Line
Figure 3

7. KEEP CLEAR OF WINCH, TAUT
WIRE ROPE AND HOOK WHEN
OPERATING WINCH. Never put
your finger through the hook. If
your finger should become
trapped in the hook, you could
lose your finger. Never guide a
wire rope onto the drum
with your hand.
8. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE
BACK ONTO ITSELF because you
could damage the wire rope.
Use a nylon sling (Figure 4).
9. It is a good idea to lay a heavy
blanket or jacket over the wire
rope near the hook end when
pulling heavy loads (Figure 5). If
a wire rope failure should occur,
the cloth will act as a damper
and help prevent the rope from
whipping. Raise the hood of the
vehicle for added protection.
10.NEVER USE YOUR WINCH FOR
LIFTING OR MOVING PEOPLE.
11.Your winch is not designed or
intended for overhead hoisting
operations.
12.AVOID CONTINUOUS PULLS
FROM EXTREME ANGLES as this
will cause the wire rope to pile
up at one end of the drum
(Figure 6). This can jam the wire
rope in the winch, causing damage
to the rope or the winch.
13.NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING
INSTRUCTION LABELS.
14.Always operate winch with an
unobstructed view of the winch-
ing operation.
15.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.
16.NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL
CLUTCH WHEN THERE IS A LOAD
ON THE WINCH.
17.DO NOT OPERATE WINCH
WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION.
18.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.

19.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.
20.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.
21.DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD
ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such
alterations may weaken the
structural integrity of the winch
and could void your warranty.
The drum and
wire rope may
get very hot (Figure 7).
22.Never allow shock loads to be
applied to winch or wire rope.
23.Use caution when pulling or
lowering a load up and down a
ramp or incline. Keep people,
pets and property clear of the
path of the load.
24.Do not power the winch out for
more than 50 feet (15.2m) or
longer than 2 minutes.
This winch
MUST be
mounted with the wire rope in the
underwind direction. Improper
mounting could damage your winch
and void your warranty.
This unit may be mounted in either
a horizontal or vertical position, on
a wall or other suitable support. In
all installations, the unit must be
mounted so that the wire rope
feeds perpendicular to the drum
axis and does not rub across the
housing or base.

MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The three-prong plug must be
plugged into a 120 or 240 Volt, AC
grounded outlet. Make sure that
the power supply cord is positioned
so that the moving load will not
damage it. Unplug the winch when
not in use. Electrical storms or line
surges can cause premature failure
of the internal bridge rectifier.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
Step (2)
Mount the winch to the mount that
you have designed.
The M10 x 1.5 x 40mm mounting
bolts supplied are the correct length
for use with up to a 1/4" (6.3mm)
thick plate. Do not sub-
stitute any
strength grade weaker than ISO
grade 8.8.
Step (3)
Lift the freespool clutch lever to the
“Free” position. Pull several feet of
wire rope off the drum. Return the
clutch lever back to the “Engaged”
position. The switch
assembly must
be kept free of dirt and moisture to
ensure safe operation.
OPERATION
This unit is activated via the switch
at the six foot cord. To remove wire
rope from the winch, depress the
“Out” button. The load will stop
without coasting when the button
is released. To pull a load or spool
wire rope onto the drum, depress
the “In” button. Your winch is
designed to pull 1,000 pounds in
single line for 20 seconds “On” time
on the wire rope layer closest to the
drum. Attempts to pull more than
this weight or exceed the duty cycle
may cause damage to the winch or
wire rope and could cause the cir-
cuit breaker to trip, and the winch
will not operate. (See “Trouble
Shooting”.) Maintain a minimum of
five wraps of wire rope around the
winch drum before attempting any
pulls.
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.
Lift the clutch lever to the “Free
position as shown in Figure 16. 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.
Releasing the clutch and 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 returning the clutch lever to the
“Engaged” position (see Figure 16).
Lever must be
in the
“Engaged” position and locked
before winching.

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR WINCH
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE
ROPE DRUM. Do not allow the
wire rope to become loosely
wound. A loosely-wound spool
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.
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. At 1,000 lb.
(454 kg) allow motor to cool after
20 seconds of “On” time. At loads
less than 500 lb. (227 kg) allow to
cool after 2 minutes of “On” time.
3. USE A PULLEY BLOCK FOR HEAVY
LOADS. To maximize winch and
wire rope life, use a pulley block
to double line heavier loads
(Figure 17).
4. The pull required to start a load
moving is often much greater
than the pull required to keep it
moving. AVOID FREQUENT STOPS
AND STARTS during pull.
5. PREVENT KINKS BEFORE THEY
OCCUR.
a. This is the start of a kink. At
this time, the wire rope should
be straightened.
b. The wire rope was pulled and
the loop has tightened to a
kink. The wire rope is now per-
manently damaged and must
be replaced.
c. Kinking causes the wire strands
under the greatest tension to
break and thus reduces the
load capacity of the wire rope.
The wire rope must be replaced.
6. EQUIPPING THE WINCH WITH A
ROLLER FAIRLEAD will substantially
reduce wear on the wire rope
during angle pulls (Figure 19).
The rollers eliminate heavy rub-
bing and abrasion to the wire rope.

Figure 19

10
Periodically check tightness of
mounting bolts and electrical con-
nections. Remove any dirt or corro-
sion that may have accumulated on
the electrical connections.
Repair 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. If relubrica-
tion is necessary (after repair or
disassembly) only use Shell Alvenia
EP2 or equivalent.
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 identi-
cal replacement part (see
Replacement Parts list). Pass attach-
ing 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 20). 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 load and winch
it in.
BRAKE OPERATION
Your SAC1000 winch has a wrap
spring brake that stops and holds
loads up to 1,000 lbs. (454 kg).
When powering the winch in, the
brake is disengaged and does not
become activated until the motor is
turned off and the load tries to pull
the wire rope off the drum. When
the winch is powered out, as in
releasing a load, the brake is
engaged and the motor must over
power the brake drag to rotate the
drum. Therefore, it is normal for the
winch to operate faster in one
direction than the other. The brake
is designed for the wire rope to be
used in the underwind position
only. DO NOT OVERWIND. Powering
against the brake will cause heat to
build up in the drum and may trans-
fer heat to the wire rope (Figure
21). DO NOT POWER OUT FOR
MORE THAN 50 FEET (15.2m) OR 2
MINUTES.
The drum and
wire rope may
get very hot.
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.

VALID WORLDWIDE
LIMITED WARRANTY
Superwinch Inc. (“Seller”) warrants to the original buyer (“YOU”) all parts and components except
wire rope to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) year from
provable date of purchase. Any Superwinch product which is defective will be repaired or replaced
without charge to you, upon compliance with these procedures. The warranties set forth herein
are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral or written, express or implied.
LIMITED WARRANTY PERFORMANCE PROCEDURE
Upon discovery of a defective Superwinch product, you shall mail to the Seller at his factory or to
any Factory Authorized Service Center written notice of such defect and mail, ship or otherwise
deliver the defective Superwinch, postage or shipping prepaid. Repairs or replacements by Seller
under this Limited Warranty will normally be accomplished within fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of the defective Superwinch. Seller or its Authorized Agents may make reasonable charges
for parts and labor for repairs not covered by this Limited Warranty.
WARRANTY AND REMEDY LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
Repair and/or replacement of the defective Superwinch or component part thereof as provided
herein is the exclusive remedy for you. The following exclusions or limitations of warranties and
limitations of remedies shall be expressly applicable:
A. Express Warranties. Seller Warrants that the Superwinch is as described in the ”Superwinch
Owner’s Manual” provided herewith; no other express warranty is made in respect to the
Superwinch. If any model or sample was shown to you, such model or sample was used for illustra-
tive purposes only, and shall not be construed as a warranty that the Superwinch will conform to
the sample or model. SELLER MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE WIRE ROPE
INCORPORATED IN THE PRODUCT.
B. Implied Warranty. The implied warranty of merchantability and all other implied warranties
shall only extend from the provable date of purchase for one (1) year. The wire rope is sold ”as is,”
without any implied warranties. Some states within the U.S.A. do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
C. Incidental and Consequential Damages. SUBJECT TO THE SELLER’S LIMITED WARRANTY OBLIGA-
TIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND, OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, LOSS OF PROFITS AND LOSS OF USE
WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY ANY DEFECT IN, OR MALFUNCTION, OR FAILURE OF THE ENCLOSED
SUPERWINCH. SOME STATES WITHIN THE USA DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
D. Condition of Warranty. Seller shall not be required to comply with its warranty duties provided
herein if the defect, malfunction, or failure of the Superwinch was caused by damage (not resulting
from defective or malfunctioning components) or unreasonable use by you. Unreasonable use shall
include, but not be limited to, the failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance or
installation or use of the Superwinch without compliance with the instructions contained in the
Superwinch Owner’s Manual, and subjecting the Superwinch to loads in excess of the load listed in
the Owner’s Manual for the particular model number. Seller’s liability under this warranty or for any
loss or damage to the Superwinch product shall not exceed the cost of correcting the defects in or
replacing the Superwinch product, and upon expiration of the warranty period, all such liability
shall terminate. The agents, dealers and employees of the Seller are not authorized to make modifi-
cations to this warranty, or additional warranties binding on the Seller. Accordingly, additional state-
ments, whether oral or written, do not constitute warranties and should not be relied upon.
LEGAL REMEDIES OF BUYER
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
may vary from state to state within the USA and from country to country. You also have implied
warranty rights. In the event of a problem with Limited Warranty service or performance, you may
be able to go to small claims court, a state court, or federal district court in the USA or to appro-
priate jurisdictions outside the USA.

RUIDO El nivel de ruido de este cabrestante en operación está por debajo de los 92 dB. (A).
PARADA DE EMERGENCIA Para cumplir con la Directiva de Maquinaria 89/392/EEC, todas las instalaciones de
máquinas deben estar equipadas con un aislador idóneo por medio del cual la máquina pueda llevarse seguramente a
una parada completa.
Un cabrestante eléctrico es como
cualquier otra herramienta eléctrica
de motor, como un taladro o sierra
eléctricos. No debe permitir que el
motor se caliente excesivamente.
Las precauciones normales exten-
derán la vida de su motor.
Mantenga la duración de los tiros
tan corta como sea posible. Si el
motor se calienta incómoda-
mente al tacto, detenga el tiro y
permita que el motor se enfríe.
SI EL
MOTOR DEL
CABRESTANTE ENTRA EN PÉRDIDA,
NO SIGA APLICÁNDOLE CORRIENTE.
