they may be used with Lithium-ion batteries supplied by Super B™, MasterVolt
®
and Victron

. These batteries have been
tested for compatibility and have built-in protection to prevent damage to the motor, battery and other elements of the

Operation
The Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winch uses a brushless DC motor. Brushless DC motors draw current from the
battery when operating, and can send current back to the battery when spinning down unloaded. Avoid operating the
winch using the motor at high speed with no load on the drum, as spinning down an unloaded motor from high speed
can stress the motor and battery and could result in reduced service life or damage to the motor, battery or other elements
of the system.
Further Considerations
•
Always disconnect power when not in use, and before performing any service or maintenance work on an
electric winch.
•
Use only an original Andersen control cable to connect the push button to the Compact Motor™.
Extension cables may be ordered separately.
•
Use only the Andersen circuit breaker supplied with your Compact Motor™; do not use it with other devices.
•
Supply power to the motor only from the battery; never from an external power supply.
•
Refer to the wiring diagram and cable size recommendations in the Andersen Winch Data Sheet for the model
and voltage corresponding to your Andersen Compact Motor™ Electric Winch.
•
Never use solvents for cleaning control cables or wires – use only alcohol for this purpose.
Failure to observe these notices will invalidate the warranty.
Important Notes - Electrical Installation
Incorrect electrical installation will result in permanent damage
to the motor and invalidation of the warranty.
