10. Move the four U-Bolts out as far as they will go (these were put on loosely in steps 2 and 8).
Slide the entire assembly onto your mounting pipe. You want approximately
1 inch
of clearance
from the top of your mounting pipe to the bottom side of the winch mounting plate.
Position the base fixture in the position you pre-selected for the pivoting direction. Ensure the
assembly is perfectly vertical, no twist from top to bottom.
Straighten out the U-Bolts (perpendicular to the mounting pipe) and tighten the U-Bolt clamp
hardware evenly so the length of the exposed threads is approximately equal. Any clamp should
be tightened evenly from side-to-side with an equal amount of thread above each nut.
