REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS

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.

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.

Before you contact Superwinch or your nearest Dealer please have ready the following information :

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.

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
Pressure and flow loss is increased as hose		minimum following dimensions:
		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

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.
