Superwinch DC POWER DRIVES - Manual (Page 5)

G E N E R A L S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N
1. NEVER CONNECT YOUR POWER DRIVE TO ANY POWER SOURCE
OTHER THAN THAT SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR. THIS CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND POSSIBLY FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
2. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM ITS POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO PER-
FORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.
3. NO POWER DRIVE IS TO BE USED IN A CORROSIVE OR EXPOLSIVE
ENVIRONMENT.
4. NEVER OBSCURE THE WARNING LABELS ON YOUR UNIT.
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE POWER DRIVE WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR MEDICATION.
6. POWER DRIVES ARE INHERENTLY SELF-LOCKING, MEANING THAT UNDER
MOST CIRCUMSTANCES A TORQUE OF LESS THAN 3000 in-lb APPLIED TO
THE OUTPUT SHAFT WILL NOT CAUSE THE SHAFT TO ROTATE. HOWEV-
ER, VIBRATION OR ROTATION OF THE INPUT SHAFT COULD CAUSE THE
BOX TO LOSE ITS ABILITY TO RESIST THIS TORQUE, RESULTING IN A RUN-
AWAY CONDITION. FOR THIS REASON, POWER DRIVES SHOULD NOT
BE USED AS A BRAKE IN APPLICATIONS WHERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD RESULT FROM A RUN-AWAY
CONDITION.
7. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD ANY PART OF THE POWER DRIVE. SUCH
ALTERATIONS MAY WEAKEN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE UNIT
AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

MOUNTING
Three 5/16" UNC x 1/2" deep mounting points are provided on the main
output side of the gearbox in order to facilitate bulkhead mounting. The
bulkhead should be drilled in accordance with the dimensions in Figure 3.
Because of the torque involved, it is important that the mountings are
secure, it is recommended that the mounting bolts be of Grade 5 or higher
and torqued to 65-75 in-lb.
All three mounting holes must be used. Use only the threaded holes provided,
do not drill and tap new hole(s). Do not weld the gearbox or any parts of the
unit.
