Mounting the Winch
1. The plate must be rated to at least
the Winch’s capacity.
2. 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 drilling, verify that the installation
surface has no hidden components or
structural pieces that will be damaged.
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 solenoid box, switch controller, and
socket lead in proper locations 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.
