INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Please read and understand this owner’s manual before installing your Husky winch. Your Husky 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
Husky winch to minimize this possibility; however, your safety ultimately depends on your caution when using the product.
Correct installation of your Husky winch is a requirement for proper operation.
Please Note: The Superwinch Husky 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 suitable for such use.
Superwinch reserve the right to alter model specifications without prior notice.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS HANDBOOK WITH THE WINCH.
Pay particular attention to the caution noted preceded with the symbols shown here. The notes contain advice for your protection.
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.
USAGE OF WINCH
This winch is designed for use in applications such as:
* Pulling * Hauling * Lifting (Vehicle Recovery ONLY) * and other associated uses.
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.

Type ................................................ Husky
Gear Reduction .............................. Wormwheel
Gear Ratio ...................................... 294:1 (12v) & 229:1 (24v)
Drum ............................................... Fabricated steel running in copolymer maintenance free bearings with spring loaded brakes to prevent
overrun when pulling out the rope.
Braking ............................................ The irreversible action of the worm and wormgear provides for substantial braking action.
Freespool ........................................ Operated by an easy action lever which disengages the gear box to allow the wire rope to be pulled out
without using electric power. A spring loaded drag mechanism reduces backlash and snarling when
pulling out the wire rope.

INTERMITTENT DUTY
All electric winches of this size are rated for intermittent use because of the electric motor efficiency and the electric power available from the
vehicle battery and alternator. This means that the winch must only be used for short periods of time then allowed to cool down.
If the motor becomes uncomfortably hot to touch, stop winching and alow the motor to cool.
If the winch motor stalls do not continue to apply power to the winch.
The performance rating of all electric winches is based on the first layer of rope on the drum. The winch pulling capacity decreases as each
successive layer of rope wraps onto the drum.
