INTRODUCTION

Please read and understand this owner’s manual before installing your H9Wwinch. Your H9W winch is a very powerful machine. If used unsafely
or improperly, there is a possibility that property damage or personal injury can result. We have included several unique features in the winch to
minimise this possibility; however, your safety ultimately depends on your caution when using the product.

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
