Detailed mounting instructions are
provided with each mounting kit.
Read and install carefully to ensure
proper winch alignment and trou-
ble-free operation.
If a Superwinch mounting plate is
not used, refer to Figure 7 for a
guide to construct a mounting system.
Note: This winch MUST be mount-
ed with the wire rope in the under-
wind direction.

could damage your winch, void
the warranty, and cause personal
injury.
MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
For 12 Volt winches, a 60 amp alter-
nator and battery with 440 cold-
cranking amperes capacity are the
minimum recommended power
sources. If the winch is in heavy use,
an auxiliary battery and heavy duty
alternator with battery isolator are
recommended.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Open End Wrenches (Spanners):
*(2) 3/8", *(2) 1/2", *(2) 7/16",
*(2) 9/16"
(1) 1/4 inch Hex socket wrench or
straight blade screwdriver
*Adjustable (Crescent) Wrenches may be substituted.
1. Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
2. Attach the long black color-coded
wire to the motor case (see
Figure 10). Mount the winch to
the mounting kit base plate or
to the mount that you designed
(see Figure 7).
The 3/8-16 mounting bolts sup-
plied are the correct length for
use with a 1/4" thick Superwinch
mounting plate.
The end of the
CAUTION
!
mounting bolts
must not contact the opposite side
of the support casting's mounting
pocket (see Figure 8).
Such contact could lead to a damaged
casting, catastrophic failure of the
winch and void the warranty. Adjust
bolt length accordingly if a thicker
plate is used. The bolt threads must
engage all the nut threads.

3. If you choose to locate the winch
at a greater distance than the
wires provided will permit, it may
be necessary to purchase a larger
gauge wire to get the best per-
formance from your winch. If the
total length of additional wire to
be added to the system exceeds
10 ft. (3m), use a larger wire
gauge size.
When attaching

wires to the
motor terminals and solenoids
(relays), hold the inner nut when
tightening the outer nut. Do not
allow the motor terminals to rotate
causing internal wire breakage or
part misalignment. Be especially
careful in preventing the solenoid
(relay) terminals from rotating. Any
rotation can damage the solenoid
(see Figure 9).
4. Disconnect the vehicle battery
