These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Receiver and Wireless Remote contain
no user-servicable parts except the
Remote’s batteries. Other than for battery
replacement, do not open their housing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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 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 hardware
described under

a. Winch components are close enough to each
other to allow wires to be routed properly.
b. Vehicle component operation
is not interfered with.
c. Vehicle components are not damaged
by drilling or driving screws.
d. Winch components will not be damaged by
stresses caused by vehicle operation.
2. Mark the locations where the screw holes will be.
3. Verify that the installation surface has no
hidden components or structural pieces
that will be damaged before drilling.
4. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.
5. Secure in place with mounting screws.
