ctations, and 3) the feelings of enhanced capability and safety I now enjoy. It is not based on those two categories or on any experience I might have with it (in fact, I have none -- yet.)
Regarding "Customer Service": I'm happy to take this opportunity to praise and sincerely thank the Customer Service and Tech reps at Superwinch one more time. I leaned on them quite a bit during this process and without exception, they cheerfully and knowledgeably stepped up and helped me accomplish this installation. So nice. Thanks, everybody.
I wonder if Superwinch will give me another chance to review this product after I've had it a while…it would be nice for Superwinch Customer Service to "check back" with customers later on, for example in 6 months or so, for an update. Maybe they will...based on my very positive experiences with their contact personnel, it wouldn't surprise me if they did check back! I'll have to wait and see.
Though this was my first time ever to install a winch, I could tell as soon as I opened the box that the winch itself, the mount, and all the hardware are attractive and very well and solidly built. The winch and mount mated perfectly with my 2004 Polaris Ranger 500 4x4. That chapter of the installation was completely straightforward…no surprises whatsoever.
The next chapter of the installation -- the wiring harness with its components -- was, for me, difficult and challenging. I experienced some frustrating difficulties, and in the end, the installation took me far longer than I expected, for these reasons:
1. My winch kit was missing a required component, which, lacking a "parts list", I did not discover until well into the installation process. Obtaining the necessary replacement component from Superwinch was easy -- just a phone call -- but delivery added a week to the process.
2. The manual is hard to read because the print and diagrams are unnecessarily tiny;
3. The instructions were, at times, hard to understand, slightly misleading, and slightly incomplete, to wit:
a. The wiring diagram calls for attaching two "red" wire leads to the "brown" wire on the vehicle coming off the ignition keyswitch at a point downstream of a "fuse". Well, on my machine there are in fact TWO "brown" wires coming off the keyswitch, and I could locate NO "fuse" on either one.
b. Attaching the "red" wire leads to the "brown" ignition wire is simply not necessary for the winch to operate. Those "red" wire leads require 12VDC to power the two included switches (fixed and remote) that are used to power the winch. Therefore, those "red" wire leads can simply be connected directly to any lead taking power off the positive post of the battery. When employing that method of installation, the operator must observe this CAUTION: If the winch harness is wired in this way, the winch can be operated by either of the two winch control switches even with the vehicle ignition keyswitch in the "off" position and/or the key is removed; put in layman's terms, the winch control switches are then "HOT WIRED". (I'm guessing the manufacturers don't inform the installer that it can be done that way in deference to their lawyers and in hopes of avoiding liability. But maybe they could get around that confusing issue by warning specifically against that alternate installation method as something NOT TO DO -- wink-wink! -- and letting the installer, armed with that information, decide for himself how to proceed.) Bottom line: IMHO, the instructions shouldn't assume that the installer knows what function the two "red" wire leads perform, and instead the manual should clearly state that, WHEN POWERED, those "red" wire leads carry the 12VDC to the two winch control switches that operate the winch.
By the way, I got around "tiny text and diagrams" problem by downloading the manual from the internet onto my laptop and then "blowing up" the text and the diagrams to a size I could see clearly and read and comprehend. IMHO, Superwinch would do well by their customers to revise the hard-copy manual included with the winch, adding to it a "parts list", and employing considerably larger font and much larger, easier to read diagrams. That would be, I think, a most reasonable and humane thing to do for their customers.
I do have to mention that the soft plastic "cap" over the body-mounted remote switch plug outlet (got it? See photos) softens quickly in warm weather, expands, and simply slides off the plug by itself. I'd like to see a plug cap that keeps the plug covered under even more extreme conditions, until such time as it is removed by the operator for use with the remote control switch.
