MOUNTING THE WINCH
Three 3/8 in. screws, lock washers, washers and nuts, SAE
Grade 5 or higher, are required to permanently mount the
winch. This hardware is not included with the winch.
1. Choose a location on the vehicle that can withstand the
stress of the maximum weight capacity (see Specifications).
You may install a steel reinforcement plate or additional
bracing to strength the location.
2. Make sure there is adequate room for the winch 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.
3. Mark the holes along the center using the winch’s base as a
template. Reach through the front or back opening to make
the marks.
4. Drill each hole with a 3/8 in. drill bit to accommodate the
bolts.
5. Position the winch to align the bolt holes on the bottom
with the pre-drilled holes.
6. Insert each bolt through the winch bottom and structure.
Access the bolt holes through the front or rear of the winch.
7. Slide a washer, lock washer and nut over each bolt end.
Tighten the nuts.
TEMPORARY MOUNTING
The winch may be mounted onto a ball hitch with the adapter
plate (A).
1. Insert three screws through the top of the adapter plate.
2. Place a washer over the protruding bolt end and twist a nut
onto the bolt. Tighten partially, stopping several turn from
the plate.
