The two Thick Backing Plates (3/8”) are located next to the U-Bolt Saddles on the inside of the
insulated channel. The two Thin Backing Plates (1/4”) are used on the rear side of the insulated
channel.

Loosely assemble (one or two threads beyond the end of the hex nuts) the two U-Bolts and
associated hardware to the insulated mounting channel as shown above. The U-Bolts will be
tightened in a later assembly step.
10. Move the four V-Bolts out as far as they will go (these were put on loosely in steps 2 and 8).
Slide the entire assembly onto your mounting pipe.
You want approximately 1 inch clearance
from the top of your mounting pipe to the bottom side of the winch mounting plate.
Position the base fixture in the position you pre-selected for the pivoting direction. Make sure
the assembly is vertical and there is no tilt between the top and bottom.
Tighten the V-Bolt clamp hardware evenly so the length of the exposed threads is
approximately equal. Any clamp should be tightened evenly from side-to-side with an equal
amount of thread above each nut.
