Superwinch AC1000 – 453 kgs/115VAC (1401) - Manual (Página 4)

This winch must
be mounted with
the wire rope in the underwind
direction. Improper mounting
could damage your
winch and void your
warranty.
This unit may be mounted in either
a horizontal or vertical position, on
a wall or other suitable support. In
all installations, the unit must be
mounted so that the wire rope
feeds perpendicular to the drum
axis and does not rub across the
housing or base.
DO NOT
operate this
winch outdoors or in a corrosive
or explosive environment.
MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The three-prong plug must be
plugged into a 115 Volt, AC
grounded outlet equipped with a
ground fault interrupter (GFI). Do
not plug into an ungrounded outlet
by using a three prong adapter.
Make sure that the power supply
and reversing switch cords are
positioned so that the moving load
will not damage them. Unplug the
winch when not in use. Electrical
storms or line surges can cause
premature failure of the internal
bridge rectifier.
Drill two 7/16" (12mm) diameter
holes with centers 3 11/16" (94mm)
apart in the support choosen for
the winch. Attach the winch to
the support with the mounting
hardware provided. Tighten the
hardwareto 35 pound foot torque.
Do not sub-
stitute any
strength grade weaker than SAE
grade 5.
The switch
assembly must
be kept free of dirt and moisture
to ensure safe operation.
OPERATION
This unit is activated via the switch
at the end of the six foot cord.
To remove wire rope from the winch,
depress the “Rope Out”
direction.
The load will stop without coasting
when the switch is released. To pull a
load or spool wire rope onto the drum,
depress the “Rope In” direction.
Your winch is designed to pull 1,000

single line for 20 seconds
“On” time on the wire rope layer closest
to the
drum. Attempts to pull more than
this weight or exceed the duty cycle
may cause damage to the winch or wire
rope and could cause the circuit breaker
to trip, and the winch will not operate.
(See “Trouble Shooting”.) Maintain a
minimum of five wraps of wire rope
around the winch drum
before attempting any pulls.
WIRE ROPE
A part of your winch
that will require periodic
attention and eventual
rope. Inspect the wire
rope frequently. If
fraying exists,
replace the wire rope
at once. Your winch
uses galvanized aircraft
type 7 x 19 cable. Always
replace the wire rope with
Superwinch replacement rope,
P/N 1527. Because all rope is subject to
wear, it is excluded from our warranty.
The wire rope has been installed on
your winch under minimal load at
the factory. The wire rope must be
respooled onto the drum under load
so that the outer layers will not draw
down into the inner ones thereby
damaging the wire rope.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR WINCH
1. KEEP A TIGHTLY WOUND WIRE
ROPE DRUM. Do not allow the
wire rope to become loosely
wound. A loosely-wound spool
allows a wire rope under load to
work its way down into the layers
of wire rope on the drum. When
this happens, the wire rope may
become wedged within the body
of the windings damaging the
wire rope. To prevent this
problem, keep the wire rope
tightly and evenly wound on the
drum at all times. A good practice
is to rewind the wire rope under
tension after each use.
2. DO NOT ALLOW WINCH MOTOR
TO OVERHEAT. Remember, the
winch is for intermittent use only.
During long or heavy pulls the
motor will get hot. At 1,000 lb.
(454 kg) allow motor to cool after
20 seconds of “On” time. At loads
less than 500 lb. (227 kg) allow to
cool after 2 minutes of “On” time.
3. USE A PULLEY BLOCK FOR HEAVY
LOADS. To maximize winch and
wire rope life, use a pulley block
to double line heavier loads
(Figure 8).
4. The pull required to start a load
moving is often much greater
than the pull required to keep it
moving. AVOID FREQUENT STOPS
AND STARTS during pull.
5. PREVENT KINKS BEFORE THEY
OCCUR.
a. This is the start of a kink. At
this time, the wire rope should
be straightened.
b. The wire rope was pulled and
the loop has tightened to a
kink. The wire rope is now
permanently damaged and
must be replaced.
c. Kinking causes the wire strands
under the greatest tension to
break and thus reduces the
load capacity of the wire rope.
The wire rope must be replaced.
