Please read and understand this owner’s manual before
installing your H10/12/14P winch. Your H10/12/14P
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 H10/12/14P winch to minimize this
possibility; however, your safety ultimately depends on
your caution when using the product.
Pay particular attention to the caution notes preceded
with the symbol shown here. The notes contain advice
for your protection.
Correct installation of your H10/12/14P winch is a
requirement for proper operation.
Please Note: The Superwinch model H10/12/14P winch
is designed for total reliability during vehicle recovery
