This winch
WARNING
!
MUST be
mounted with the wire rope in
the underwind direction. Improper
mounting could damage your winch
and void your warranty.
This unit may be mounted in either
a horizontal or vertical position, on
a wall or other suitable support. In
all installations, the unit must be
mounted so that the wire rope
feeds perpendicular to the drum
axis and does not rub across the
housing or base.

DO NOT
WARNING
!
operate this
winch outdoors or in a corrosive
or explosive environment.
MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The three-prong plug must be
plugged into a 115 Volt, AC
grounded outlet equipped with a
ground fault interrupter (GFI). Do
not plug into an ungrounded outlet
by using a three prong adapter.
Make sure that the power supply
and reversing switch cords are
positioned so that the moving load
will not damage them. Unplug the
winch when not in use. Electrical
storms or line surges can cause
premature failure of the internal
6
bridge rectifier. Drill two 11/32"
(9mm) diameter holes with centers
3 1/8" (79mm) apart in the support
choosen for the winch. Attach the
winch to the support with the
mounting hardware provided.
Tighten the hardware to 35 pound
foot torque.

OPERATION
This unit is activated via the switch
at the six foot cord. To remove wire
rope from the winch, depress the
"Out" button. The load will stop
without coasting when the button
is released. To pull a load or spool
wire rope onto the drum, depress
the "In" button. Your winch is
designed to pull 1,500 pounds in
single line for 20 seconds "On" time
on the wire rope layer closest to the
drum. Attempts to pull more than
this weight or exceed the duty cycle
may cause damage to the winch or
wire rope and could cause the
circuit breaker to trip, and the
winch will not operate. (See
"Trouble Shooting".) Maintain a
minimum of five wraps of wire
rope around the winch drum
before attempting any pulls.
WIRE ROPE
A part of your winch that will
require periodic attention and
eventual replacement is the wire
rope. Inspect the wire rope
frequently. If it fraying exists,
replace the wire rope at once. Your
winch uses galvanized aircraft type
7 x 19 cable. Always replace the
wire rope with Superwinch
replacement rope, P/N 1511D.
Because all rope is subject to wear,
it is excluded from our warranty.
The wire rope has been installed on
your winch under minimal load at
the factory. The wire rope must be
respooled onto the drum under
load so that the outer layers will
not draw down into the inner ones
thereby damaging the wire rope.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR WINCH
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE
ROPE DRUM. Do not allow the
wire rope to become loosely
wound. A loosely-wound spool
allows a wire rope under load to
work its way down into the layers
of wire rope on the drum. When
this happens, the wire rope may
become wedged within the body
of the windings damaging the
wire rope. To prevent this
problem, keep the wire rope
tightly and evenly wound on the
drum at all times. A good practice
is to rewind the wire rope under
tension after each use.
2. DO NOT ALLOW WINCH MOTOR
TO OVERHEAT. Remember, the
winch is for intermittent use only.
During long or heavy pulls the
motor will get hot. At 1,500 lb.
(680 kg) allow motor to cool after
20 seconds of "On" time. At loads
less than 500 lb. (227 kg) allow to
cool after 2 minutes of "On" time.
3. USE A PULLEY BLOCK FOR HEAVY
LOADS. To maximize winch and
wire rope life, use a pulley block
to double line heavier loads
(Figure 8).
Figure 8
4. The pull required to start a load
moving is often much greater
than the pull required to keep it
moving. AVOID FREQUENT STOPS
AND STARTS during pull.
5. PREVENT KINKS BEFORE THEY
OCCUR.
a. This is the start of a kink. At
this time, the wire rope should
be straightened.
b. The wire rope was pulled and
the loop has tightened to a
kink. The wire rope is now
permanently damaged and
must be replaced.
c. Kinking causes the wire strands
under the greatest tension to
break and thus reduces the
load capacity of the wire rope.
The wire rope must be replaced.
