Wiring
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM EXPLOSION
DUE TO SPARKING AT THE BATTERy CONNECTION:
Disconnect the Battery Cables before making other wiring connections.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM LEAKING BATTERy ACID:
Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.
Only use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the
vehicle where the winch will be mounted, or
used, to the battery. This route must be secure,
out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or
any possibility of being damaged by operation
or maintenance of the vehicle. For example,
you may wish to route the wires under the vehicle,
attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners.
Do not attach the wires to the exhaust system,
drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any
other components which may damage the wiring
through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part
of the body to route the wires, be sure
to install a rubber grommet in the hole to
prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
3. Route the Cables from the Receiver to the Winch
and from the Receiver to the battery, following the
precautions discussed earlier. See Figure E.

4. Mount Receiver in dry, clean location.
5. Attach the wires from the Receiver
to the terminals on the Winch.
6. Attach the Circuit Breaker to the
Positive Terminal on the battery.
7. Attach the red Battery Cable to the Circuit Breaker.
8. Attach the black Battery Cable directly to
the negative terminal of the battery.
Note:
The attachment of the Motor Cables
determines the operation of the Remote’s button.
After the unit is mounted and powered,
check the direction of the Power In and Power Out on
the Remote button. If you wish to change the direction
on the Remote, disconnect the Battery Cables from
the battery, switch the Motor Cable connections on the
Motor Assembly, then reconnect the Battery Cables.
Preparing the Wire Rope
1. The wire rope must be properly coiled under tension
to be able to support a load without damage.
2. Uncoil the wire rope, except for 5 full wraps.
3. Recoil the wire rope back into the winch
under at least 500 lb. of tension.
