Always install winch in such a way that the operator will be standing with a comfortable posture, with unobstructed access to, and a clear view of the winch, its labels, and its controls.

The mounting location for the winch must be capable of handling the loads you intend the winch to pull. Suggested locations are: a flat front or rear bumper of a vehicle, on a pickup truck bed or the winch stand on a trailer. The winch can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical position Figure 6. Do not mount the winch where there would be the possibil-. The winch is weather resistant but not waterproof. Superwinch mounting fitting kits are available for most popular vehicles.

Be sure the hardware is assembled as shown. Tighten the hardware to 35 lb. This winch operates on standard automotive or Volt Direct Current, not both. Wear eye protection during installation and remove all metal jewelry.

Do not lean over the battery while making connections. The red wire from the switch is connected to the circuit breaker terminal with the hardware provided. The other end of the circuit breaker is connected to the battery positive terminal. The black wire from the switch is connected. Be sure connections are clean and tight. Do not connect the switch or wiring to any other power source in the vehicle.

Starting at the winch, feed the wires into the engine compartment. If possible, use the routing and support for the existing wiring. If it is necessary to drill holes, to feed the wires, be sure the wires are protected from damage by using a grommet Figure 9.

Use cable ties to secure wires along the route. When you make the ground connection, be sure to scrape off any dirt from the bolt that would prevent a good connection.

When extending the lead wires for rear vehicle mount, always use 8 gauge wire or heavier to extend the existing wires to the battery. Connect the circuit breaker to the same terminal to which the battery cable is connected Figure The switch and motor end are designed so the switch will mount properly only when installed as shown in Figure Do not attempt to install the switch in the opposite direction.

If the switch is installed incorrectly and electrical contact made, the winch will run in a direction opposite that which is indicated on the product label resulting in possible operator injury. Secure the switch to the motor by tightening the round thumb screw on the outside of the switch Figure The screw threads into the tapped hole between the brass motor contact Figure Do not use pliers or over-tighten the thumb screw.

After the switch is in place, remove excess slack from the wiring harness in the vehicle by doubling over slack areas and tying securely. Do not leave any dangling or loose wiring. However, a load can cause the winch to creep. With the switch removed from the winch, there is a greater tendency for a load to backdrive the. The switch should be removed from the winch when unattended to prevent unauthorized operation.

Because the winch will not hold a load, in trailing or load holding applications, tie down ropes or straps must be used to secure loads. The wire rope can be pulled out by hand Figure Avoid jerking the wire rope off the drum when freespooling as this can cause the wire rope to backlash and snarl on the drum. Note: The clutch cannot be released if there is a load on the wire rope.

To engage the clutch, turn the clutch knob until the square key drops into the inner drum shaft Figure Activate the control switch on the winch until the key drops into the outer drum shaft. Check that the key is fully engaged before applying a load to the wire rope.

Periodically check tightness of the mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove any dirt or corrosion that may have accumulated on the electrical connection. Your new winch has lifetime lubrication. There will be some grease leaking out of the winch, especially during the first few operations.

This is normal and it is not necessary to grease or oil any part of the winch at any time. A part of your winch that will require periodic attention and eventual replacement is the wire rope.

Inspect the wire rope for wear frequently. If fraying exists, replace the wire rope at once. If the winch motor labors and then stops, the load is too great. Evidence of this will be a motor almost too hot to touch. Repeated occurrence of this condition indicates that the load exerted on your winch is beyond its capacity and may burn out the winch motor. Follow these steps in order. Make sure your vehicle engine is running and then try operating your winch after each step.

Remove switch, then replace it on the motor, making certain that it is aligned properly over brass motor connectors and that thumb screw is snug. Check all electrical connections on battery and ground, making sure that they are clean and tight. Check the wiring harness to determine if all insulation is intact.
