1. Plate Mount
This winch kit 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 UTV’s and ATV’s . If
you cannot find a kit locally, contact CPE and we
will provide you with the name of a dealer .
Simply bolt the winch and roller fairlead straight
to the mounting kit on your vehicle . If your kit
does not have a place for the fairlead, attach
the winch to the mounting channel (steps 1-5
on Assembling the Winch), then bolt on to the
vehicle’s kit .
Mounting the Winch
This winch kit is designed to be used in 2
different applications:
1)Plate Mount
2)Mobile
Assembling the Winch
Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 34 ft . lb .

The type of vehicle to which the winch and
mounting channel will be applied, will dictate

If utilizing a mounting plate, ensure that
the three major sections (motor, drum and
gear housing) are properly aligned . Proper
