A high amperage isolator switch must be fitted (supplied on request), in a prominent
position. The earth return is made through the winch mounting then back into the chassis
of the vehicle.
Whenever possible, earth the winch back to the battery. If this is impractical and earth is to
the chassis, it may be necessary to upgrade the vehicle earth strap from battery to the
chassis.
If earthed to chassis, ensure the connectors are clean and free of paint.
IF IN DOUBT, FIT EARTH RETURN SIZE AS RECOMMENDED FOR POWER FEED.
We would recommend that a high amperage fuse is always fitted in the circuit. These can
be purchased separately from BHW Group Ltd. Please quote the following part numbers.
FU0020
300 amp fuse (for 12v winch).
FU0040
200 amp fuse (for 24v winch).
FU0050
Holder for above fuses.
(See wiring diagram above).
