installation and Setup

  Read the EnTiRE iMPORTAnT SAFETy inFORMATiOn section at the beginning of this 

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.

note:

  Depending on the vehicle application, 

it may be beneficial to install the wiring before 
mounting the wench.  Check all terminal 
access before mounting the winch.

5.  Install the winch using hardware specified 

on the specification chart.  Tighten 
fasteners to the listed torque values.

Mounting the Solenoid Assembly

 

1.  Use the included brackets (attached to the 

bottom of the Solenoid Box) to mount the 
solenoid assembly to the tie bars of the winch.

2.  Tighten the screw at the rear of the tie bar 

to secure the Solenoid Box in place.

note:

  If there is insufficient room on the tie bars to 

install the Solenoid Box, follow the steps below.

3.  Place the Solenoid Box in a suitable 

place near enough to the winch to allow 
the cables to be routed properly.

4.  Mark where the screw holes will be.

5.  Verify that the installation surface has no 

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

6.  Remove the top cover of the Solenoid Box 

to drill holes for mounting screws.

7.  Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.

8.  Secure the solenoid assembly in 

place with mounting screws.
