Correct installation of your H9W winch is a requirement for proper operation. Please note: The Superwinch H9W 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.
Mounting ..........Ficing positions allow for platform or in-chassis mounting in either under or over winding modes. Model Designation........H9W Part No............. 8569 8588 & 8589 Rated Line Pull Bottom Layer ....40 kN (9000 lbs) 40 kN (9000 lbs) Line Speed 1st.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Refer to Hydraulic System Specification. IMPORTANT: It is vital to ensure that all hose lengths are kept to a minimum. Pressure and flowloss is increased as hose length increases and/or bore size decreases. Pressure and return lines in excess of 3.5 meters (11.5’) should be compensated with an increase in nominal bore size.
2. Refer to the mounting diagram (Fig. 3). All dimensions are in mm. 3. Winch mounting can be via a winch mount plate (Part No. 7840, not 8569). 4. The winch (together with it’s mounting plate if fitted) must be securely bolted on to a mounting surface that is flat to within 0.5mm and sufficiently stiff to prevent flexing.
Take care to ensure the layers are neatly wrapped. This will minimise damage to the lower layers of rope when a load is applied. Use the handsaver bar to guide the rope the last few feet onto the drum. NOTE: Where a wire rope is not supplied, or when replacing a wire rope, always use a Superwinch recommended wire rope.

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR WINCH TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR WINCH 1. Keep a tightly wound 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 to the drum.
WINCH OPERATION FREESPOOL OPERATION When wire rope is removed from the drum, as in bringing the hook to the load, the freespool feature of the winch should be used. To Engage: Turn the Freespool Handle to the “Engaged” position. Pull the rope out (wearing a pair of gloves) until the Freespool pin engages (resistance is felt).

Periodically check tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove any dirt or corrosion that may have accumulated on the electrical connections. Repair should be carried out by Authorised Superwinch Repair Centres only. Do not attempt disassembly of the gearbox. Disassembly will void warranty.
