WINCH ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
1. Your 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 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 to the Mounting Channel using 2 each of
the Cap Bolt M10 X 35, Flat Washer, Lock Washer and securing with M10 Nut
(Make sure the bolt 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 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 Bolts, Flat
Washer, Lock Washer and M10 Nut secure the winch to the mounting channel.
4. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Remember every
type of winch is different.
5. Connect the winch motor leads as detailed below:
