1.
Your 9500lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class
of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern
for the most popular vehicle and mounting channels. If you cannot find a kit
locally, contact us and we will provide you with the name of a dealer near you.
If you will utilize the mounting channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a
flat surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are
properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of
the full rated load.
2.
Start by connecting the Roller Fairlead (Part# 950900) to the Mounting Channel
(Part# 951000) using 2 each of the Cap Screw M10 X 35 (Part# 950002), Flat
Washer (Part# 950004), Lock Washer (Part# 950003) and securing with Nut
M10 (Part# 950005) (Make sure the screw is placed through the mounting
channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel. This will allow enough
clearance for the winch to be placed in the channel without obstruction.)
3.
Assemble the winch to the Mounting Channel (Part# 951000) by first pulling
and releasing the clutch knob to “Off” position (Free Spooling). Pull out a few
inches of cable from the drum and feed the wire loop through the opening in the
front of the mounting channel and roller fairlead. Now, using the remaining
M10 x 35 Cap Screws (Part# 950002), Flat Washer (Part# 950004), Lock
Washer (Part# 950003) and Nut M10 (Part# 950005) secure the winch to the
mounting channel.
4.
Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above every type of winch
is different each other.
CAUTION –
Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive.
Wear eye protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over
battery while making connections.
5. Assemble the Clevis Hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the Clevis Hook,
connect the Clevis Hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the Clevis
Hook.
6. Always use the Hand Saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope.
Using the Hand Saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the rotating
drum.
