I checked with Superwinch and for the winch part # SW1145220 they state Remember, the winch is for intermittent use only. During long or heavy pulls the motor will get hot. For pulling at rated capacity, allow motor to cool after 20 seconds of “On” time. At loads less than 50% of rated capacity, allow to cool after 2 minutes of “On” time. KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY during this break.
