Electrical Connections
For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical
system is adequate. Your battery should be kept in good
condition. A fully charged battery and proper connec-
tions are essential.
The solenoid assembly reverses the direction of rope
drum rotation.
CAUTION: BE SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT
DRAWN TAUT ACROSS ANY SURFACES WHICH
COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE THEM.
1. As shown on the schematic on the next page, con-
nect the red battery lead #13 and red lead from
winch control solenoid to the E-stop solenoid.
2. Install emergency stop switch, solenoid, and rocker
switch per kit # 282067.
2. Connect the black battery lead to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the battery.
3. Connect the black motor lead to the #2 pole of the
motor.
4. Connect the black with yellow stripe motor lead to
the #1 pole of the motor.
5. The remote switch plugs into the receptacle on the
solenoid.
The remote control switch is waterproof. It has push but-
ton stations on either side. It is designed this way to pre-
vent quick winch reversals which can lead to solenoid
failure. Make sure the motor has stopped fully before
reversing. To actuate winch, plug remote control switch
into the receptacle in the solenoid cover. Run winch for-
ward and reverse to check connection and determine
winch operating directions. Snap appropriate “IN” and
“OUT” disc into proper thumb cavity. The switch is also
color coded to aid you in not having to guess which
direction your winch will run in.
DO NOT LEAVE
SWITCH PLUGGED IN WHEN WINCH IS NOT IN USE.
End of Service Measures
When winch reaches the end of it’s serviceable life,
dispose of per local environmental regulations.
