INSTALLATION
FITTING A WINCH•ASSIST SYSTEM - GENERAL
Mobility vehicles from different manufacturers all vary in layout. The fitting instructions below are a general guide to best
practice.
Bushey Hall Winchmaster can supply complete wiring looms. If BHW wiring looms are not used , please ensure that the
electrical cables are the correct size. Winches may suffer voltage drop or be subject to slow running if cable specification
is too small.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONTACT BUSHEY HALL WINCHMASTER IF
ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED.
WINCH MOUNTING
To centrally mount a Winch•Assist 8, it is recommended that a backing plate (not supplied) is fitted below the floor, of a
suitable size, to ensure that the load is spread sufficiently across the floor pan. Where the floors are corrugated, it may
also be necessary to fit an additional plate to provide and even surface for mounting the winch.
The winch should be positioned so that the winch drum is in line with the direction of pull. It is the installers’ responsibility
to ensure that the unit is positioned so that the possibility of entanglement with the rotating drum is avoided.
Remove cover and using the mounting locations securely mount the winch by bolting down through the floor pan any
additional strengthening plates in the winches fixing positions using 4 x M8 high tensile bolts (min. grade 8.8) of a
suitable length.
A suitable webbing strap can now be secured to the winch drum. In line mounted winches generally use a webbing strap
which is clamped on to the drum spindle, although soft rope options are available.
