Installation
It is ESSENTIAL that the winch mounting location can withstand the forces generated by the
winch. It may be necessary to use a steel reinforcement plate (not included), and/or to weld
additional bracing (not included) to the mounting location. • The winch is to be installed with the cable in an
under-wound orientation on the cable drum. The winch is designed to ROPE IN and ROPE OUT in one
direction. Do NOT attempt to reverse the operation of winch. • Ensure that mounting the winch does not
reduce vehicle ground clearance or affect normal vehicle operation in any way.
1. Select a mounting location on the vehicle, or other suitable location.
2. Place the winch in the required location, and mark out the 4 mounting holes. Drill the mounting holes
through the mounting surface.
3. Use the 4 supplied bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts to secure the winch.
4. Attach the fairlead (the plate that the winch cable runs through) to the mounting surface with the 2
supplied cap screws, washers, lock washers and nuts.
Connecting the Electrical Wiring
Depending on your level of electrical wiring knowledge, you may wish to have this procedure
performed by a qualified technician. Prior to performing this procedure, make sure that the
vehicle engine is OFF, and that the engine, transmission, and exhaust systems are cool to the touch. • Plan
a route for the wiring harness from the point of where the winch is mounted to the vehicle battery. The route
should be secure, out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or any possibility of being damaged by
operation or maintenance of the vehicle. For example, the wiring may be routed under the vehicle and
attached to it using suitable fasteners (not included). Do not attach the wiring to the exhaust system, drive
shaft, brake lines or cables, fuel lines or any other components which may damage the wiring through heat
or motion, or create a fire hazard. If a hole is drilled through the bumper or any other part of the vehicle, be
sure to install a rubber grommet (not included) in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
1. Route the wiring harness, following the precautions mentioned above. Once the wiring harness is routed
to the battery, attach the
RED
lead to the battery POSITIVE (+) terminal (Figure A).
2. Attach the
BLACK
lead to the battery NEGATIVE (–) terminal (Figure A).
Connecting the Remote Control
Lift up the rubber cover on the left side of the winch control box, then insert the remote control connector into
the socket.
