INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When installing a winch, your installation may vary from the manual diagrams and instructions included here due to vehicle variations and mounting
options in the structure. Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle to avoid electric hazard.
If you choose not to use an ATV mounting kit you may be required to drill holes in the structure to support the load.
Be sure the location will be strong enough to support the rated pulling force of the winch. Do not drill into wiring or gas
tank. If the mounting bolts needed are of different length than those supplied, use a bolt of equal or better quality to
that supplied by Mile Marker. Torque the provided 5/16” grade 5 mounting bolts to 12 ft lbs. (1.7kg-m).
STEP 1
Line up the winch on the vehicle mounting frame (not provided). Make drill markings throughout the mounting holes. Winch should be aligned &
secured to a solid, flat part of the vehicle (capable of supporting the winch and load capacity) where the full rated load will be evenly distributed.
Also, please remember that the winch is designed for horizontal pull, not vertical pull.
STEP 2
Before drilling the 3 5/16 inch holes through the vehicle mounting frame, remove the winch. Drill the holes at this time. Secure the winch to the
vehicle mounting frame with the correct hardware. Tighten securely at this time.
STEP 3
Remove the outer connection nuts from the winch motor; connect the red cable (+) to the red terminal and the black cable (-) to the black terminal.
Tighten the connections (Fig. 1 on page 6).
CAUTION:
STEP 4
Connect the red & black remote control to battery cables (marked as “battery” on the cables) to the 12 volt battery fuse box
terminal strip on the vehicle in accordance with STEP 5. The circuit fuse must be 65 amps and the circuit must be 12 volt.
CAUTION:
Property damage or serious injury may occur if this winch is mounted or wired incorrectly. Therefore, installation
should be done by a qualified technician.
Remote control battery cables should not be drawn taut. Leave slack for some cable flexibility. Do not put cables near
moving engine parts or heated areas that could melt the cable insulation.

STEP 5
Disconnect the positive (red) cable from the vehicle battery. You will now be making an electrical connection from the remote
control to battery cables to the vehicle electrical system (the vehicle’s fuse box terminal strip).
NOTE:
Even though the 12 volt battery cannot shock you, it may spark and heat up to the melting point. It may cause serious burns if not
installed and fused correctly. Due to these factors, it is imperative to have the battery disconnected at this time.
STEP 6
Find an appropriate positive (red) fused terminal point in the vehicle fuse box that is able to supply 65 amps of current and connect the red remote
control to battery cable directly to the fuse terminal (without cutting wires). Connect the negative (black) cable to the vehicle metal frame or a
ground lug on or near the battery. Reconnect the positive (red) battery cable to the battery. Unfasten the clutch by pulling out, then turn the clutch
knob to lock it in the OUT position.
STEP 7
Pull the cable 5 feet out for testing purposes. Test winch for proper operation.
