General Installation
The winch shown in this owners manual
is solely and exclusively designed for UTV
mounted, non-industrial applications. All other
applications will void warranty.
Install Winch and Mounting Kit according to
instructions supplied with Mounting Kit. Install
winch and roller fairlead to mounting kit using
hardware supplied with winch.
Tighten
mounting bolts to 34 ft-lbs torque.
It is very important that the winch be
mounted on a flat surface, with the
cable feeding from the bottom of the
drum.
Toggle Switch Installation
Do not attach motor and battery leads until
instructed to do so.
Before beginning Installation:
• Disengage winch clutch.
• Locate and mark mounting location for
toggle switch.
1. Route red, yellow, and green wires from
solenoid to toggle switch location. Make
sure that wires are not drawn taut against
any surfaces that might damage them.
2. Drill 1/2” hole in location for toggle switch.
3. Insert switch through hole.
4. Place directional plate over switch and
secure using knurled nut. Using wrench,
tighten backup nut securely against surface
where hole was drilled. Make sure direc-
tional plate is installed in the same direction
as the toggle switch movement.
5. Place rubber boot over switch and tighten
securely.
6. Connect red wire to center spade on toggle
switch. Connect green wire to the toggle
switch terminal in the “OUT” position.
Connect the
yellow wire to the toggle switch terminal position
in the “IN” position.
When finished, connect the Red battery lead
from the solenoid to the Positive (+) terminal of
the vehicle battery. Connect the Black battery
lead to the Negative (-) terminal.
Free-spool a length of cable from the winch.
Engage the clutch, and operate the toggle
switch in the IN and OUT direction and confirm
that the winch operates correctly.
If the winch spools cable in the opposite direc-
tion from what is indicated on the directional
plate, reverse the yellow and green wires.
Remote Control Switch
Installation
Connect the Red battery lead from the sole-
noid to the Positive (+) terminal of the vehicle
battery. Connect the Black battery lead to the
Negative (-) terminal.
For some mounting kits, it may be necessary
to alter the remote control switch’s plug by
cutting off one of the pull tabs.
Do not alter
the plug until you confirm that it is
necessary.
