CAUTION:
Make sure that all exposed electrical connections
are covered with insulation boots to avoid electrical short.
Battery cables should not be drawn taut; leave some slack for
cable movement. Also, ensure that they are routed properly
with out any interference with the vehicular components that
could potentially damage the cable or cause electrical short.
Long battery cable runs may have significant voltage drops
that may cause the winch motor controller to not operate.
