Correct installation of your winch is
required for proper operation.
This winch MUST
be mounted
with the wire rope in the under-
wind direction. Improper mounting
could damage your winch and void
your warranty.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
Step (2)
Mount the winch to the mounting
kit base plate or to the mount that
you have designed. Typical mount is
to a flat surface capable of han-
dling the loads.
The M8 x 1.25 x 30mm mounting
bolts supplied are the correct length
for use with a 1/4" (6.3mm) thick
mounting plate.
Do not substi-
tute any
strength grade weaker than ISO
grade 4.6
Step (3)
Check to ensure that the vehicle
ground and positive leads from the
battery are disconnected before
performing any electrical work.
Batteries contain
gasses which are
flammable and explosive. Wear eye
protection during installation and
remove all metal jewelry. Do not
lean over battery while making
connections.

alterations may weaken the
structural integrity of the winch
and could void your warranty.
