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 down straps. Contact your
local Superwinch dealer.
20. USE ONLY FACTORY
APPROVED SWITCHES,
REMOTE CONTROLS, AND
ACCESSORIES. Use of non-fac-
tory 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.
22. Maintain 5 turns of wire rope
around wire rope drum to pre-
vent the wire rope from pulling
off under load.
23. NEVER INSTALL WINCH IN
SUCH A WAY THAT THE
WARNING AND INSTRUCTION
LABELS ARE OBSCURED.
Someone who had not read this
manual may need to see them
to understand the proper opera-
tion of the winch. ALWAYS
CHECK FOR CORRECT DIREC-
TION OF ROTATION BEFORE
USING WINCH. The winch must
be properly wired to ensure cor-
rect direction of rotation.
24. 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.
25. 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.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR MOUNTING
AND WIRING
Open End Wrenches – 9/16", (2), or
small adjustable wrenches, wire
strippers, or cutters, terminal
crimpers (pliers), torque wrench,
pair 3/8" bolts and nuts, four flat
and two lock washers.
MOUNTING
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 hor-
izontal or vertical position (Figure
6). Do not mount the winch where
there would be the possibil-
ity of it being submerged in water.
The winch is weather resistant but
not waterproof.
Superwinch mounting (fitting) kits
are available for most popular vehi-
cles. If you can't obtain a kit locally,
contact Superwinch at the address
listed in this manual for the name of
a Superwinch dealer near you.
