P E R F O R M A N C E
Your S9000 winch is a very powerful
machine. Treat it with respect, use it
with caution and always follow
these safety guidelines.
The responsibility
for safe installa-
tion and operation of the winch and
prevention of personal injury and
property damage ultimately rests
with you, the operator. There is
no substitute for the use of good
judgement and caution in operating
a winch.
The wire rope
may break before
the winch stalls. For heavy loads,
use a pulley block to reduce the
load on the wire rope.
1. The S9000 winch is rated at 9,000
pounds (4082 kg) (single line) capacity
on the wire rope layer closest to the
drum. DO NOT OVERLOAD. DO NOT
ATTEMPT PROLONGED PULLS AT
HEAVY LOADS. Do not maintain
power to the winch if the motor
stalls. Overloads can damage the
winch and/or the wire rope and cre-
ate unsafe operating conditions. FOR
LOADS OVER 6,000 POUNDS (2721
KG), WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF
THE OPTIONAL PULLEY BLOCK TO
DOUBLE LINE THE WIRE ROPE
(FIGURES 1 & 14). This reduces the
load on the winch and the strain on
the wire rope by approximately 50%.
If attaching back to vehicle, attach to
the frame or other load bearing part.
The vehicle engine should be run-
ning during winch operation to
minimize battery drain and maxi-
mize winch power and speed.
If considerable winching is performed
with the engine off, the battery may
be too weak to restart the engine.
2. AFTER READING AND
UNDERSTANDING THIS
MANUAL, LEARN TO USE
YOUR WINCH. After
installing the winch, practice using
it so you will be familiar with it
when the need arises.
3. DO NOT “move” your vehicle to assist
the winch in pulling a load. The com-
bination of the winch and vehicle
pulling together could overload the
wire rope and the winch itself.
4. KEEP WINCHING AREA CLEAR. Do not
allow people to remain in the area
during winching operations. ALWAYS
STAND CLEAR OF WIRE ROPE/HOOK
AND WINCH. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT
OF ANY COMPONENT FAILURE IT‘S
BEST TO
BE OUT OF HARM‘S WAY.
5. INSPECT WIRE ROPE AND EQUIPMENT
FREQUENTLY. A FRAYED WIRE ROPE
WITH BROKEN STRANDS SHOULD
BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
Always replace wire rope with the
manufacturer‘s identical replacement
part (see Replacement Parts List).
Periodically check the winch installa-
tion to ensure that all bolts are tight.
6. USE HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES when
handling wire rope.
DO NOT LET WIRE ROPE SLIDE
THROUGH YOUR HANDS EVEN WHEN
WEARING GLOVES

An electric winch is like any other
motor driven power tool such as an
electric drill or saw. The electric
motor should not be allowed to
become excessively hot. Normal pre-
cautions will extend the life of your
motor. Keep the duration of pulls as
short as possible. If the end of the
motor becomes uncomfortably
hot to touch, stop winching and
allow the motor to cool down.
If the winch
motor stalls,
do not continue to apply power
to the winch.
