Periodically check tightness of the
mounting bolts and electrical con-
nections. Remove any dirt or corro-
sion that may have accumulated on
the electrical connection.
LUBRICATION
Your new winch has lifetime lubri-
cation. There will be some grease
leaking out of the winch, especially
during the first few operations. This
is normal and it is not necessary to
grease or oil any part of the winch
at any time.
WIRE ROPE
A part of your winch that will
require periodic attention and
eventual replacement is the wire
rope. Inspect the wire rope for wear
frequently. If fraying exists, replace
the wire rope at once. Your winch
uses 3/16" diameter galvanized air-
craft type 7 x 9 wire rope (4,200 lb.
breaking strength). Always replace
the wire rope with Superwinch
replacement wire rope, P/N 1511
(See pages 12 and 13).
FREE SPOOL OPERATION -
MODEL X1F
To disengage the clutch for free-
wheeling the wire rope out, pull
the knob at the wire rope end of
the winch straight out and rotate
the knob 90° (1/4 turn). The wire
rope can be pulled out by hand
(Figure 15). Avoid jerking the wire
rope off the drum when freespool-
ing as this can cause the wire rope
to backlash and snarl on the drum.
Note: The clutch cannot be
released if there is a load on the
wire rope.
To engage the clutch, turn the
clutch knob until the square key
drops into the inner drum shaft
(Figure 16). Activate the control
switch on the winch until the key
drops into the outer drum shaft.
Check that the key is fully engaged
before applying a load to the wire
rope.
SWITCH OPERATION
When the switch springs back to the
“OFF” position, an electrical shunt pro-
vides dynamic braking action which
prevents the winch from coasting
(Figure 13). THIS BRAKING ACTION IS
NOT A LOAD HOLDING DEVICE.
When the switch is centered in the
“OFF” position, the shunt reduces the
action of a load backdriving the winch.
However, a load can cause the winch
to creep. With the switch removed
from the winch, there is a greater ten-
dency for a load to backdrive the
winch.
The winch is
not designed
as a load holding device.
The switch should be removed from
the winch when unattended to pre-
vent unauthorized operation. A
Quickconnect (Superwinch P/N 1551) is
also available as an accessory to disarm
the winch. Because the winch will not
hold a load, in trailing or load holding
applications, tie down ropes or straps
must be used to secure loads.
Remote operation of the switch
(Figure 14) can be achieved by tying
one end of a cord through each “ear”
of the switch.
Periodically check tightness of the
mounting bolts and electrical connec-
tions. Remove any dirt or corrosion
that may have accumulated on the
electrical connections.

A part of your winch that will require

the wire rope for wear frequently. If
fraying exists, replace the wire rope at
once. Your winch uses 3/16" diameter
galvanized aircraft type 7 x 19 wire
rope that is 25 feet long (4,200 lb.
breaking strength). Always replace the
wire rope with Superwinch replace-
ment wire rope, P/N 1511 (see
Replacement Parts List).
