INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Please read and understand this owner’s manual before
installing your H10/12/14P winch. Your H10/12/14P
winch is a very powerful machine. If used unsafely or
improperly, there is a possibility that property damage or
personal injury can result. We have included several
unique features in the H10/12/14P winch to minimize this
possibility; however, your safety ultimately depends on
your caution when using the product.

Pay particular attention to the caution notes preceded
with the symbol shown here. The notes contain advice
for your protection.

Correct installation of your H10/12/14P winch is a
requirement for proper operation.

Please Note: The Superwinch model H10/12/14P winch
is designed for total reliability during vehicle recovery
operations. This winch is not designed to be used in
hoisting applications and Superwinch does not warrant it
to be suitable for such use.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

These are given through these instructions in the
following form :

WARNING : Procedures which must be
followed precisely in order to avoid the
possibility of personal injury.

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS

Before you contact Superwinch or your nearest Dealer
please have ready the following information :
Kit No.
Serial No. of winch
Part No. required

POISONOUS SUBSTANCES

Many liquids and other substances used should under no
circumstances be consumed, and should be kept away
from open wounds. These substances include (among
others) hydraulic oil.

SYNTHETIC RUBBER

Many ‘O’ ring seals, flexible pipes and similar items,
when subjected to fire or heat can become highly
corrosive. Handle with seamless industrial gloves only.
Should skin contact occur, remove contaminated clothing
immediately and obtain medical assistance without delay.
Meanwhile, wash the affected area with copious amounts
of cold water or limewater for 15 to 60 minutes.

RECYCLING AND THE ENVIRONMENT

It is illegal to dispose of used oil in the ground, down
sewers or drains or into waterways.
Dispose of used oil through authorised waste disposal
contractors. If in doubt contact your local Authority for
advice on disposal facilities.

CAUTION : This calls attention to procedures
which must be followed to avoid damage to
components.

NOTE : This calls attention to methods which
make a job easier or gives helpful
information.

SUPERWINCH winches are not to be used to lift, support
or otherwise transport personnel. Any such use shall be
considered to invalidate the warranty and Superwinch
shall not be responsible for any claims arising from such
use.

Superwinch reserve the right to alter model specifications
without prior notice.

WINCHING TECHNIQUES

Before using your winch it is very important that you read
the booklet sent to you with your winch entitled the
“Handbook of Winching Techniques for Vehicle
Recovery”. Please read and understand this handbook
before using your Superwinch and it’s accessories. It has
been supplied with your winch to encourage safe
operation - if used unsafely or improperly, there is a
possibility that property damage or personal injury can
result, since your safety ultimately depends on your
caution when using these products.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

System type ........................................................... Open system with filtered return line.

Relief valve ............................................................ Set at winch operating pressure.

Pump ...................................................................... With a max. oil supply of 57 l / min at top motor rpm. The pump must

be capable of delivering a pressure of 160 bar.

Reservoir ................................................................ Must be fitted with an oil filler device comprising strainer and air filter

and a dip stick. The capacity of the tank should be at least 60
litres. Note. Don’t fill the tank to the top, since there must be space
for expansion in the tank. Suitable hydraulic oil is Castrol CRML or
equivalent (150 LHM 32-68). Typical viscosity rating of 150-175 cSt
at 100°C.

Hoses ...................................................................... Should have a working pressure of 200 bar or greater and have the

minimum following dimensions:

Pressure and flow loss is increased as hose Pump inlet line : 32 - 38 mm (1 1/4” - 1 1/2”) Nominal Bore (N.B.).
length increases and/or bore size decreases. (reservoir to pump)
Pressure and return lines in excess of 3.5 Return line : 25 mm (1”) N.B. (direction control valve to reservoir)
metres should be compensated with an Pressure hoses : 13 mm (1/2”) N.B. (direction control valve to winch
increase in nominal bore size. valve)

Control valve .......................................................... 4-way, 3-position self centering with ports A & B to tank in the

neutral position and built in relief valve.
The relief valve must be set at the winch operating pressure.
The valve should be mounted as close to the winch as possible.

Load Control Valve ................................................ Where fitted, a load control valve provides dynamic braking to giving

smoothly controlled winch-out under load.

Hydraulic motor .......................................................1/2” BSPP adaptor.

Oil Suction Strainer rating........................................ Approx. 250 microns.

Return Line Filter rating .......................................... 10 - 40 microns.

PNEUMATIC FREESPOOL
MECHANISM SPECIFICATION

Supply can be pneumatic or hydraulic. If Pneumatic, ensure that the system air supply is lubricated to prevent corrosion
occuring.

Control valve ........................................................... Use manually or electrically operated. Must be protected against

unintentional operation (i.e. interlocked).

Connection hose ..................................................... To the freespool mechanism must be 6mm (1/4”) N.B. or larger.

Supply pressure ...................................................... Must be limited to 5.5 bar Max.
