Wiring
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM EXpLOSION DUE TO SpARKING AT
THE BATTERy CONNECTION:
Disconnect the Battery Cable before making other wiring connections.
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM LEAKING BATTERy ACID: Do not use a dirty, corroded
or leaking battery. Only use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
Depending on your level of electrical wiring knowledge, you may have
these procedures performed by a qualified technician.
Note:
Use of a circuit breaker is highly recommended to protect the vehicle and battery from
damage from winch failure/overload. A 50-amp circuit breaker (not included) should be installed
in a safe location as close to the vehicle’s battery as possible. The circuit breaker will be
installed in line with the Winch’s Battery Cable (44) and the vehicle battery. Use two solderless,
insulated, 12-10 AWG ring tongue terminals (not included) to install the circuit breaker.
Temporary Wiring
1. Remove the protective cover on the right side
of the Winch body and insert the female Battery
Cable Plug at the end of the Battery Cable (44)
into the male socket on the Winch. The plug fits
into the socket only one way for correct polarity.
2. Route the Battery Cable from the Winch to the
battery, being careful to avoid tangling it in moving
equipment, or causing a tripping hazard.
3. Connect the Black Battery Clamp of the Battery
Cable to the frame of the vehicle, establishing a
ground connection. Connect the Red Battery Clamp
to the Positive (+/Red) terminal of the battery.
4. Insert the male Remote Control Cable Plug
at the end of the Remote Control Cable (43)
into the female socket on the right side
of the Winch body. The plug fits into the
socket only one way for correct polarity.
permanent Wiring
1. Plan a route for the wiring, from the point of the
vehicle where the Winch will be mounted, to the
battery. This route must be secure, out of the
way of moving parts or road debris, and free of
any possibility of being damaged by operation
or maintenance of the vehicle. For example,
route the wires under the vehicle, attaching them
to the frame using suitable fasteners. Do not
attach wires to the exhaust system, drive shaft,
emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other
components which may create damage to the wiring
through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
2. If holes are drilled through the bumper or
any part of the vehicle body to route the
wires, install rubber grommets in the holes to
prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
3. Following the precautions discussed above,
route the Battery Cable (44) from the point where
the Winch will be mounted, to the battery.
4. Remove the Red Battery Clamp from the
red wire and attach the wire to the Positive
(+/Red) terminal of the battery.
5. Remove the Black Battery Clamp from the black
wire and attach the wire to the frame of the
vehicle, creating a secure electrical ground.
6. Follow the steps in
Temporary Wiring
to
attach the Battery Cable Plug and the
Remote Control Cable Plug to the Winch.
preparing the Wire Rope
1. The Wire Rope must be properly coiled under
tension to be able to support a load without damage.
2. Uncoil the Wire Rope, except for 5 full wraps.
3. Recoil the Wire Rope back into the Winch
under at least 500 lb. of tension.
