Superwinch S3000 - 1,360 kgs/12V - Manual (Page 2)

Ratings assume a 10% coefficient of friction.
* A 10% slope is a rise of one foot in ten feet. Slope in approximate degrees is also shown above.
** All loads shown are for single-line operation. Double-line operation with optional pulley block
(see Figure 2) approximately doubles capacity of winch.

Please read and understand this Owner’s Manual before installing your winch. Pay particular
attention to the General Safety Information. Your winch is a very powerful machine. If used
unsafely or improperly, there is a possibility that property damage or personal injury could
result. We have included several features in the winch to minimize this possibility; however,
your safety ultimately depends on your caution when using this product.
Throughout this manual, you will find notations with the following headings:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. This notation is also used to alert
against unsafe practices.
Note: Indicates additional information in the installation and operation procedures
of your winch.
Correct installation of your winch is a requirement for proper operation.
Please Note: The Superwinch S series winch is designed primarily for intermittent duty
general use. This winch is not designed to be used in industrial or hoisting applications
and Superwinch does not warrant it to be suitable for such use. Superwinch manufactures
a separate line of winches for industrial/commercial use. Please contact our Customer Service
Department for further information.
