manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Mounting the Winch

1.  The mounting plate must be rated to 

at least the winch’s capacity.

2.  Align the winch perpendicular to center line of 

the vehicle at the desired location, and mark the 
locations of the winch base holes.  Compare the 
dimensions of the marked holes to Figure D.

3.  Before drilling, verify that the installation 

surface has no hidden components or 
structural pieces that will be damaged.

nOTE: 

This winch can generate extreme forces. 

Select a location that can withstand the rated 
capacity without damage or weakening.  Steel 
reinforcement plates may be needed or a 
certified welder may need to weld on additional 
bracing depending on the mounting location.

4.  Drill holes appropriate for the hardware 

at the marked locations.

5.  Install the winch using the hardware 

specified on the specification chart.

3.  Verify that the installation surface has no 

hidden components or structural pieces 
that will be damaged before drilling.
