These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Receiver and Remote Transmitter contain
no user-servicable parts except the
Transmitter’s battery. Other than for battery
replacement, do not open their housing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Installation and Setup
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Mounting the Winch
1. The plate must be rated to at
least the winch’s capacity.
2. Disconnect the Battery. Align the winch
perpendicular to center line of the vehicle at the
desired location, and mark the locations of the
winch base holes. Compare the dimensions
of the marked holes to Figure D.
3. Before installation confirm that area is clear
of fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wires,
gas tanks or any other component which
could be damaged during drilling.
NOTE:
This winch can generate extreme forces. Select
a location that can withstand the rated capacity without
damage or weakening. Steel reinforcement plates may
be needed or a certified welder may need to weld on
additional bracing depending on the mounting location.
4. Drill holes appropriate for the hardware
at the marked locations.
5. Install the winch using hardware
described under Specifications.

Mounting Winch Components
1. Mount Receiver in proper location so that:
a. Winch components are close enough to each
other to allow wires to be routed properly.
b. Vehicle component operation
is not interfered with.
c. Vehicle components are not damaged
by drilling or driving screws.
d. Winch components will not be damaged by
stresses caused by vehicle operation.
2. Mark the locations where the screw holes will be.
3. Verify that the installation surface has no
hidden components or structural pieces
that will be damaged before drilling.
4. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.
5. Secure in place with mounting screws.
