Improper mounting
can cause personal
injury. Improper mounting could
damage your winch and void the war-
ranty.
MINIMUM ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 60 amp. alternator and battery with
440 cold-cranking amperes capacity
are the minimum recommended power
sources. If the winch is in heavy use, an
auxiliary battery is recommended.
Under some circumstances, it may be
appropriate to install additional circuit
protection devices (circuit breakers). If in
doubt, seek appropriate advice.
Superwinch recommends that all winch
electrical systems can be readily and
quickly isolated from their electrical sup-
ply in the event of an emergency. The
winch electrical’s system should always
be isolated when the winch is not in use.
1. Install mounting kit or structural sup-
port for the winch.
2. Mount the winch to a mounting plate
or to a mount that you have properly
designed.
Your winch is a very
powerful machine.
To protect yourself and property, the
winch must be properly mounted to a
structural support capable of with-
standing the high pulling capacity of
the winch.
Do not substitute
any strength grade
weaker than SAE Grade 8 (ISO 10.9).
