Winch Mounting
Mount the Roller Fairlead to the Mount-
ing Frame (not included) using supplied
Bolts, Nuts.
The winch MUST be properly secured to
a winch mount bumper or an approved
winch mount plate with the included
10m nuts and bolts (qty. 4 / each). There
are machined pockets at each of the four
inside winch base corners that fit a flange
head whiz nut. Place a nut into each
pocket and center the winch over the
mounting base holes. Hint: a touch of
bearing grease can hold the 4 nuts in
place prior to fastening the flange head
whiz bolts. In some rare mounting situa-
tions drilling for bolt holes may be re-
quired. Thread the four 10mm x 1.5 x
35mm bolts through the bottom of the
winch mount plate or bumper and into
the whiz nuts. Use a torque wrench and
10mm socket and torque each mounting
bolt to 50 Ft-lbs.

Batter y cables
SHOULD NOT
be drawn taut. Leave slack for some cable movement. The
batter y cables
SHOULD BE
secure, out of the way of moving par ts, road debris, or any
possibility of being damaged by operation or maintenance of the vehicle. For example,
the batter y cables may be routed under the vehicle, attaching them to the frame using
suitable fasteners such as cable ties (not included).
DO NOT
attach the Batter y Cables
to the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other com-
ponents which may cause damage to the batter y cables through heat or motion, or cre-
ate a fire hazard. If a hole is drilled through the bumper or any other par t of the vehicle,
make sure to install a rubber grommet (not included) in the hole to prevent fraying of
the batter y cables at that point. The use of at least a 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)
batter y is highly recommended.
