install a steel reinforcement plate or additional bracing to
strength the location.
2. Make sure there is adequate room for the winch (see
Specifications - Dimensions) and a flat surface for it to sit on.
Verify the structure where the bolts will go contains no hidden
wiring or components. Relocate either the winch or the
wiring/components if there is overlap.
2.1 Check if there is enough room to attach the power wire to the
winch and access the manual controls with gloved hands.
3. Mark the drill hole locations using the mounting plate as a
template. The corner holes match the screw mounting holes in
the back of the winch. The holes centers are 4-57/64 in.
(124 mm) apart horizontally and 3 in. (76 mm) apart vertically.
4. Drill each hole with a 5/16 in. drill bit to accommodate the
M8 screw.
5. Prepare the mounting plate if installing as a single unit.
5.1 Slide the lock washer (K) and washer (L) over the M8-1.25 x
20 mm screw (I). Twist the square nut (M) onto the screw
until it touches the washer. Assemble a second screw in the
same way.
5.2 Position the fairlead (E) over the mounting plate’s exterior
flange and align the bolt holes.
5.3 Insert the first screw and tighten, but not fully. Insert the second
screw and tighten until the fairlead is flush and the lock washer is
partially compressed. Finish tightening the first screw.
6. Repeat step 5.1 with the four M8-1.25 x 25 mm screws (H). Use
these to mount the winch.
7. Place the mounting plate and align the corner bolt holes with the
pre-drilled holes. Ignore this step if not using the mounting plate.
8. Position the winch to align the bolt holes on the bottom with the
pre-drilled holes.
9. Insert a prepared screw assembly through the structure, the
mounting plate if used and into the winch’s bolt hole. Tighten the
bolt, but not fully. Repeat with the other three screws, then finish
tightening all four bolts.
