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 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. Mounting plate should be a
minimum of 1/4" (6.3mm) thick. The
ends of the mounting bolts must not
contact the opposite side of the casting.
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

- forward position, the solenoid pack
can be rotated to be on top of the
motor or can be remote-mounted. To
rotate the solenoid box, remove the
two motor screws and solenoid box
bracket screws. Rotate the motor and
solenoid box upwards and reinstall
the screws. If remote mounting, the
solenoid pack may be mounted in any
configuration EXCEPT inverted
(i.e. solenoid studs facing down).
Inverted mounting may cause erratic
operation. Use properly sized wire or
contact Superwinch for remote mount
kit options.

and other hardware are required for
your installation, always use hard-
ware that equals or exceeds the
strength grade of the supplied hard-
ware. In no circumstance should the
end of the mounting bolts touch the
inside of the casting mount pockets.

contain gasses

which are flammable and explosive.
Wear eye protection during installa-
tion and remove all metal jewelry.
Do not lean over battery while mak-
ing connections.
3. Disconnect the vehicle negative and
positive battery leads. Route the long
red and black color coded wires to the
battery. To ensure against insulation
abrasion and/or cutting, apply several
layers of electrical tape where wiring
may come in contact with sharp parts
on the vehicle. Attach the red color
coded wire to the battery positive and
reattach the terminal to the battery.
If your vehicle is equipped with side
pole terminals, it may be necessary
to obtain auxiliary side terminal bolts
from your local auto parts dealer to
make these connections.
Connect the black color coded wire to
the battery negative terminal, then
connect the terminal to the battery.
4. Pull and turn the freespool clutch lever
to the"disengaged" position. Pull sev-
eral feet of wire rope off the drum.
Return the clutch lever back to the
"engaged" position. Plug in remote
pendant control. Push button momen-
tarily to check rope drum rotation
direction. If drum rotates in the wrong
direction, recheck your wiring.

The handheld pendant switch activates
a solenoid that activates power to the
winch motor.
To connect pendant control, remove the
cover on the plug receptacle and insert
the plug end of the remote switch.
The plug on the pendant control cord
is keyed and will fit into the socket only
one way. Lock the plug by rotating the
plug collar clockwise. To remove, first
unlock the plug by rotating collar in the
opposite direction. The switch returns
to the "off" position when released. To
change direction, press the button for
the other direction.
PENDANT BATTERY INSTALLATION
!
To install the AAA batteries into the hand-
held pendant, remove the battery door
on the back of the pendant and insert the
batteries as noted on the graphic inside
the battery compartment. Replace the
battery door.
The switch assem-
