 What could be cooler than a winch? Some idiot forgot to set his emergency brake and his truck drifted down the hill into the pond? Lucky you were around with your Superwinch S Series Winch to pull him out. What about when you’re off-roading, stuck in two feet of mud and all your four-wheel drive can do is dig you deeper into the muck? Securely loop the cable from your Superwinch around a great big oak tree or boulder, then climb back in the driver’s seat, turn on the winch with your handheld remote and steer yourself right out while the winch does all the work.
For over three decades Superwinch has been the top name in American winches. Their S Series winches range from the S3000, with a rated line pull of 3000 lbs., to the S9000, with a rated line pull of 9000 lbs.
The RLP tells how much a winch could lift vertically from the ground with a single line on the first layer of the drum. To decide how strong a winch you might need, multiply the heaviest load you expect to pull by 1.5.
This winch is the perfect accessory to pull you out of jams in the icy winter months when you have to worry about sliding off the road. And a Superwinch S Series Winch is utterly indispensible for anyone who pushes his truck to the limits with extreme four-wheeling and wants to be sure he can always get himself out of whatever he gets himself into! |

How To Select A Winch
In many applications, you’re dealing with a rolling load rather than pulling a dead
weight. It is often said that one can probably push your vehicle but most can’t lift
it. Therefore, you need to size the winch to the rolling load - see chart. Then you
should select those winch features that you find most beneficial and that allow you
to load the trailer safely by yourself. Superwinch has combined the experience of
manufacturing over 2.5 million winches with feedback from racers and collectors
alike over the past 37 years.
Install It Properly
First choose an installation site accessible to you. Align an unobstructed
path to the car that you are loading. Prevent any metal-to-metal contact
with the wire rope. Mount the winch close enough to the trailer’s front
to pull the vehicle completely on. If it’s mounted under something, such
as a toolbox, leave enough space to access the winch.
Wire it correctly
A trailer wiring kit, like the kind available from Superwinch, makes it easy to get power for the
winch from the tow vehicle’s battery.
 Consider a pulley block
With a hook for mounting and a pulley for the wire
rope, a pulley block lets you offset the winch but retain a straight shot. A pulley block can also be
used to nearly double the winch’s capacity by simply attaching the pulley block’s hook directly
to the load and the winch’s hook to a sturdy mount near the winch.
To maintain electrical performance from the battery to the winch, we recommend dropping 3 wire sizes for
every doubling of the length of the standard wire harness. Example: No. 6 to No. 3 or 2 gauge. A quick
disconnect plug for the truck comes prewired with a negative lead. Simply install the special terminal to
the positive side of the quick disconnect and position the plug at the rear of the truck, perhaps under
the bumper.
If your tow vehicle isn’t equipped with a towing package that includes a dual-wire ground setup,
Superwinch recommends installing the negative battery terminal strap provided with their winches.
Take care that your wiring has fully secured leads which are clear of hot or moving parts.
