Superwinch offers an external sole-
noid pack as shown with Model
03003. (Superwinch Part Number
1515A Remote Control). It comes
with 12 foot pendant, 20 feet of 8
gauge wire, and instructions.
Circuit Breaker
We recommend using a 40 Amp
Circuit Breaker between the battery
positive terminal and the wire that
goes to the switch or solenoid pack
(See Figure 5). This can be pur-
chased from Superwinch as Part
Number 89-32341. The circuit break-
er prevents overloads to the switch
and to the winch motor.
Hookup Wire
If the total length of wire required
is less than 20 feet, use 8 gauge
wire. If the total length of wire
required exceeds 20 feet, use 6
gauge wire.

Route the (2) wires to the battery.
To ensure against insulation abra-
sion and/or cutting, apply several
layers of electrical tape where
wiring may come in contact with
sharp metal parts. Attach the circuit
breaker assembly to the end of the
blue terminated wire. Wrap the cir-
cuit breaker assembly with electrical
tape to prevent accidental short
circuits.
Note: If you choose to locate the
winch at a greater distance than
the wires provided will permit, it
may be necessary to purchase a larg-
er 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.
Attach the circuit breaker directly to
the battery positive terminal, and
reattach the terminal to the battery.
Connect the remaining wire to the
battery negative terminal, and con-
nect the terminal to the battery.

Pull the trigger momentarily to
check wire rope drum rotation and
direction. If the drum rotates in the
wrong direction, recheck your
wiring.
The hand-held pendant switch acti-
vates a solenoid that activates
power to the winch motor. One
solenoid is for power-in (lifting a
load) motor direction and the other
is for power-out (lowering a load)
motor direction (See Figure 6).
