Step 3
Connect Black 2 GA battery lead to the negative motor terminal located on the bottom of the motor and also
connect the Black 2 GA ground lead from the solenoid pack to the same negative motor terminal.
Step 4
Connect the other terminal end of the Black 2 GA battery lead to the negative battery terminal. If longer
wiring harness is required then purchase KWA14607.
Step 5
Remove the dust cover on the plug receptacle and insert the plug end of the handheld pendant switch. The plug
end is keyed and will fit easily onto the socket only one way.
DO NOT FORCE.
Step 6
Lift and turn the freespool clutch handle to the Disengage position
(See FIGURE 12)
. Pull 5 feet of wire rope off
the drum. Return the freespool clutch handle back to Engaged position. Activate the Winch cable in and out by
momentarily pressing the handheld pendant switch to check drum rotation direction. The switch is labeled “IN”
for winching in and “OUT” for winching out. When released the switch will automatically go to the off position.
IF THIS DOES NOT OCCUR THEN REMOVE THE HAND HELD PLUG FROM THE RECEPTACLE.
Step 7
You are now ready to winch. Practice winching operations by freespooling cable out and winching in under low
loads. Make sure all wraps are wound on tight and close against the previous wrap. Plan some tests in advance
and learn to watch and listen. Recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull and sounds caused by load
jerking or shifting. You will gain confidence.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, LEATHER GLOVES AND USE THE
HAND SAVER STRAP (FIGURE 4).
Step 2
Follow electrical connection diagram
(FIGURE 9).
Bolt the circuit breaker to the
terminal end of the Red 2 GA battery lead that is
factory connected to the sealed solenoid
switching pack. Now connect the circuit
breaker to the positive battery terminal.

Winch Installation (Continued)
The handheld pendant switch activates a solenoid that
activates power to the winch motor.
To connect the handheld pendant switch, remove the cover
on the plug receptacle and insert the plug end of remote
switch
(See Figure 10)
. The plug on the pendant control
cord is keyed and will fit into the socket only one way.
The switch trigger returns to the “Off” position when
released. To change direction, move the toggle in the other
direction.
(See Figure 10).
The red push button activates the LED work light.

CAUTION
The switch assembly must be kept free of dirt and
moisture to ensure safe operation.
Pendant Operation
Wireless Operation (Remote KTA14126)
Plug the receiver into the five pin plug located on the winch control box (Where the hand held control usually plugs into).
Please take care to line up the keyed notch on the inside of the receiver with the keyway on the outside of the plug
(See
FIGURE 11)
. Your are now ready to remotely operate the winch.
Make sure notch fits into key way as misalignment will damage the unit and void warranty.
Please note that the unit is programmed for a 1 second delay in both starting and stopping.
This may represent a 6” to 8”
travel in the wire rope.
Your wireless remote is now installed. Enjoy your wireless remote switch winching experience.
