Page 6: Winch Installation
Apply a drop of thread locker to each bolt and tighten. Winches are mounted in a high vibration environment. It is highly recommended both liquid thread locker and spring washers are used on all connections. All connections should be checked for tightness after 1,000km of travel. Copyright (C) Sherpa 4x4 | www.sherpa4x4.com.au | info@sherpa4x4.com.au 6 ... - Page 7 Never mount the winch to oversized or slotted holes as this will increase the likelihood of a bolt shear failure. See over Copyright (C) Sherpa 4x4 | www.sherpa4x4.com.au | info@sherpa4x4.com.au 7 ...
- Page 8 If you are planning on loading the winch to it’s limit, it is recommended that the load be centred onto the drum to evenly distribute the force over all 4 mounting bolts which are under a high shear stress. Uneven loading has potential to over stress the mounting bolts when in shear. Copyright (C) Sherpa 4x4 | www.sherpa4x4.com.au | info@sherpa4x4.com.au 8 ...
- Page 9 Keep in mind the outer enclosure of your control box is not waterproof and is only designed to keep the bulk of the water and dirt off the internals. The internal solenoid is IP68 rated and suitable for submersion in water. Copyright (C) Sherpa 4x4 | www.sherpa4x4.com.au | info@sherpa4x4.com.au 9 ...

- Page 11 The brake design is such that it will provide years of trouble-free service without the need to replace the brake shoes. The brake design is different to other winches and may take users time to get use to how it operates. Copyright (C) Sherpa 4x4 | www.sherpa4x4.com.au | info@sherpa4x4.com.au 11 ...
- Page 12 Note: Your winches direction of operation relative to your hand remote can be reversed by swapping cables on Terminals C and D if required. WARNING! Ensure all electrical connections are tight prior to use. Loose electrical connections may result in sparks, poor winch performance and damage to the solenoid.

Questions and answers
Went to use our Serpa 25 ton winch today for the 1st time, the motor ran for about 15 seconds and that's it. Double checked all the connections which were all good, still nothing
If the Sherpa 4x4 Stallion winch motor runs for only 15 seconds and then stops, possible issues could include:
- Battery in poor condition, leading to insufficient power supply.
- Corroded electrical connections reducing performance.
- Battery cables improperly routed or abraded, causing power loss.
- Inadequate protection of electrical connections in salty environments, leading to corrosion.
Check battery condition, cable routing, and all electrical connections for corrosion or damage.
