Assembling your Winch
To assemble your QM winch to the quick mount
channel, attach handles to both ends of the quick
mount channel using (2) black 3/8” button head
screws for each handle as shown below. Tighten
to 20 ft-lbs. torque.
Once the handles are attached, lift the winch into
the quick mount channel. Feed the looped end
of the prewrapped cable through the fairlead.
Place a 3/8” nut and flatwasher in each of the
feet of the winch. Align the four mounting holes
in the channel with the feet of the winch. Place a
lockwasher on each 3/8” hex head bolt and
press a bolt through each mounting hole and
start it through a nut in the foot of the winch. Do
not tighten until all of the bolts have been start-
ed. Tighten evenly to 34 ft-lbs. torque.
Align the base of the clevis hook with the loop on
the end of the wire cable. Run the pin through
the clevis hook and the loop. Push the cotter pin
through the hole in the pin and bend the cotter
pin to lock.
