USAGE OF WINCH

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS

Before you contact Superwinch or your nearest Dealer please
have ready the following information: Kit No, Serial No, and
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 (amoung 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 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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The winch is powered from a vehicle hydraulic system. See
hydraulic requirements section. The drum can be disengaged,
to enable the rope to be pulled out easily and quickly. The
winch is equipped with an adjustable freespooling damper to
help alleviate the possibility of wire rope over-run on the
drum.

The automatic disc brake is housed at the hydraulic motor end.
The brake will activate automatically to prevent the load from
causing the winch to 'back-drive'. The brake itself is self
adjusting for wear and is oil immersed for optimum heat
dissipation. The brake linings are of high performance non­asbestos material.

The winch is reversible with 'power-in' and 'power-out' via a
directional control valve mounted on the vehicle or through a
handheld wander lead. The standard unit is supplied with
clockwise drum rotation on 'winch- in' when viewed from the
gearbox end. The winch can be used in both 'over-wound' and
'under-wound' conditions, Superwinch recommends 'under
wound' if possible.
