Winch Installation
A. Preparation and handle-bar wiring
1. Prepare the ATV by removing the battery cover by
pulling it up at the rear corners (figure 1.)
2. Install the power sub-harness (should have been
supplied with your Grizzly 700 purchase. You can
contact your dealer for information if you do not have
this) as shown. (figure 2) See appendix for additional
wiring options if you do not have this harness.
3. Install the winch rocker switch to the handlebar
using the hardware and bracket supplied with the
switch. Route the wiring beside the left switch
harness using the stock cable ties to secure
it. (figure 3 & 4)
4. Route the rocker switch harness to an area on top of
the battery and then route the red contactor power wire
over to the right side of the compartment. Cut the wire
to correct length and crimp a male bullet connector
(not supplied ) to the end of the wire and then plug it
into the red female connector of the harness installed
in step 2. (figure 5)
B. Contactor/Solenoid Wiring
You have several different options for the
contactor/solenoid installation.
Option One:
Mount Integrated
1. Assemble the contactor to the winch mounting plate
using the four 1/4-20 x 1 hex bolts, nuts and washers
provided in the winch kit, and torque to 10 ft/lbs.(figure
6)
2. Install color coded cables onto the contactor, matching
the color coded terminals on the contactor. Attach the
blue and yellow cable from the contactor to the winch.
You now have two different options for the cable now:
You can carefully bundle and zip-tie (provided) the
excess cable and carefully tuck it away from sharp
edges. Alternatively, you can cut the cable to about 14”
in length and, with electrical tape, refasten the looped
electrical ends.
Option Two:
Under-vehicle
Choose any location under your vehicle and mount the
contactor. There is no right or wrong place. We
recommend a dry place away from sharp or moving
suspension parts, knowing that it is hard to find a totally
dry place on an ATV. You may mount it in the front or
back or under the seat. In this case we mounted it in the
cargo box behind the seat. You may mount it with U-
bolts (holes on contactor are metric) or bolts. We
attached all the wires before bolting it down.
Option Three:
Rear Box
You can choose to mount the contactor in your rear box.
You will follow the same instructions as above, but you
will need to purchase an additional length of compatible
cable from your local hardware or auto parts store as the
box is too far away for standard length winch electrical
cable.
C. Winch Installation
1. Install the winch onto the mounting plate using four
5/16-18 hex bolts and lock-washers from winch kit.
2. Install the fairlead onto the front mounting tabs on
the winch mounting kit using the two 3/8-16 hex
bolts and nuts. Install the hook using the pin and cotter
pin supplied with the winch.
3. Locate the front mounting locations on the front
frame tubes of the Grizzly. (figure 7)
4. Place the mounting plate into position on the ATV.
NOTE: The winch space for the Grizzly 700 is a bit
