Mounting Options
Winch Mounting
When installing a winch, your installation may vary from the manual diagrams and instructions included here due to physical vehicle
differences. Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle to before starting installation. If you choose not to use an ATV/UTV mounting kit you
may be required to drill holes in a structural support on the ATV/UTV. Be sure the location will be strong enough to support the rated pulling force
of the winch.
DO NOT DRILL INTO OR NEAR WIRING OR GAS TANK!
NOTE:
NOTE:
It is essential that the mounting surface be flat and the
winch is mounted such that the three major sections (gear
housing end, drum and motor end) are in proper alignment.
Mounting Points that can be used in this installation:
(A) Winch and Mount
(B) Under Seat Control Box Mounting
(C) Handlebar Pendant Mount
(D) Remote Pendant Receiver Location
1. Install the mounting kit or prepare a flat and secure location on the ATV/UTV for the winch. The winch mount kit has it’s own instructions for
the intended ATV/UTV.
2. Position the winch over the mount and check for operation of the clutch lever to frame clearance. Check for tire to winch clearance. If ok,
continue on to the next step.
3. Secure the winch to the mounting bracket or surface chosen with the correct hardware.
Make sure the winch mounting bolts and winch hardware has been checked for proper torque. Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the steel cable/synthetic rope from the winch drum to install the mounting hardware or roller/hawse fairlead. All Mile Marker
Mounting Systems come fairlead ready. If you are using any other mounting platforms, drill two holes for the roller/hawse fairlead
installation. Position the holes such that the fairlead opening hole stretches from the circumference of the drum to the end of the
maximum permissible layers on the drum in the direction steel cable/synthetic rope is being rolled.
CAUTION:
Mile Marker recommends the use of its mounting systems for
proper winch installation and optimum winch performance.
However, when not using Mile Marker Mounting System, ensure
that the mounting platform is strong enough to meet the
maximum rated load of the winch in use. Your winch should be
aligned and secured to a solid part of the vehicle (front or rear)
where the full rated load will be evenly distributed.
