Step 2: Handlebar Switch Installation
Install the rocker switch to the handlebar using the hardware included in this kit. (see
figure 2 and figure 6)
It is recommended that the switch be installed on the left handlebar. A piece of electrical
tape wrapped around the handlebar will help prevent rotation of mount on the handlebar.
Do not clamp over any hoses or cables.
Exact positioning may vary depending on the vehicle make and model.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL FIRE:
Do not route electrical cables across sharp edges.
Do not route electrical cables through or near moving parts.
Do not route electrical cables through or near any high temperature parts.
Avoid pinch and wear/abrasion points when installing all electrical cables.
Use caution when moving or repositioning any vehicle controls so as to not compromise
the safe operation of the vehicle. Select a mounting position that will provide clearance
for all vehicle controls.
Before securing the switch cable with tie wraps, make sure that the handlebars and all
controls have full range of motion.
Step 3: Control box mounting
The control box is a primary safety feature in your winch system. It disconnects your
winch from its power source when the vehicle is not in use. The contactor must be
correctly installed to work properly.
Secure the control box using the included straps or mount using hardware (not included).
Exact location will vary depending on the vehicle.
Ensure the control box mounting location selected provides sufficient clearance from all
metal structures such as frame tubes.
After choosing a mounting location for the control box make certain that all wiring will
reach the appropriate location. (see figure 3)
