17. NEVER RELEASE FREESPOOL
CLUTCH WHEN THERE IS A LOAD
ON THE WINCH.
18. NEVER WORK ON OR AROUND
THE WINCH DRUM WHEN
WINCH IS UNDER LOAD.
19. DO NOT OPERATE WINCH
WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR
MEDICATION.
20. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH
POWER LEADS TO BATTERY
BEFORE WORKING IN OR
AROUND THE WINCH DRUM 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
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.
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 could void your warranty.
26. DO NOT CONNECT WINCH TO
EITHER 110V AC HOUSE CUR-
RENT 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. 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.

Note: When installing a winch,
your installation may vary slightly
from the instructions and diagrams
that follow, depending upon your
vehicle, winch, mounting kit or
structural support.
Before you

start your
Superwinch installation,
disconnect the vehicle
ground and positive
leads from the battery.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or prepare
a flat, secure mounting location
for winch. Carefully follow the
instructions included with the
mounting kit.
Note: If you choose not to use a
mounting kit, you will need to drill
holes in the structural support. Be
sure that your structural support
is strong enough to support the
rated pulling forces of the winch.
If different

nuts, washers and other hard-
ware are required for your
installation, always use hard-
ware that equals or exceeds the
strength grade of the supplied
hardware.
Step (2)
Position the winch over the holes
in the mounting kit or structural
support.
As you posi-

tion the winch,
make sure that the wire rope
winds in the proper rotation
on the drum. Your winch is
intended to operate in one
direction only. Failure to
operate the winch in the proper
direction can cause the winch
brake to operate improperly,
and/or cause the winch to fail.
Step (3)
Secure winch (Figure 7) to mount-
ing kit or structural support using
bolts, washers and nuts supplied.

Note: In order to gain access to the
hardware directly under the wire
rope drum, it may be necessary to
unspool the wire rope from the
winch drum.
Be sure that

operation of your Superwinch.
When mounting, check all vehi-

winch mounting location does
not significantly reduce ground
clearance.
