GENERAL SAFETY I N F O R M AT I O N ( C O N T. ) 8. NEVER HOOK THE WIRE ROPE BACK ONTO ITSELF. Use a nylon sling (Superwinch Part No. 1509). Hooking the wire rope onto itself can damage the rope (Figure 3). Wrong Figure 3 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. Right 9.

MOUNTING (CONT.) Drill two 7/16" (12mm) diameter holes with center lines exactly 3-11/16" (93.66mm) apart (Figure 7) in the support chosen for the winch. Attach the winch to the support with two (2) 3/8-16 Hex Head Bolts. Be sure the hardware is assembled as shown. Tighten the hardware to 35 lb. ft. torque. Bolt Flat Washer Flat Washer Lock Washer Nut Figure 7 to the battery negative terminal (Figure 8). Be sure connections are clean and tight.

O P E R AT I O N SWITCH OPERATION When the switch springs back to the “OFF” position, an electrical shunt provides dynamic braking action which prevents the winch from coasting (Figure 13). THIS BRAKING ACTION IS NOT A LOAD HOLDING DEVICE. When the switch is centered in the “OFF” position, the shunt reduces the action of a load backdriving the winch. 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 winch.
PAGE 6
TROUBLE SHOOTING 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. Use of the accessory pulley block, P/N 2227, will increase the winch‘s capacity. MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE Follow these steps in order. Make sure your vehicle engine is running and then try operating your winch after each step. 1.
