MOUNTING
Mounting Bolt Pattern:
Standard: 10” x 4.5”, 254 mm x 114.3 mm
Choose a mounting location that is sufficiently
strong enough to withstand the maximum pulling
capacity of your winch.
WARNING
Always confi rm required bolt length to
ensure proper thread engagement.
Step 1 - Mount the Winch
Winch mounting kits are available from your
WARN Dealer to satisfy nearly all applications. For
information on available kits, contact your WARN
product dealer.
NOTICE For optimal performance and the results you expect,
WARN mounting plates are strongly recommended.
CAUTION
To prevent accidental activation of the winch
and serious injury, complete the winch installation and attach
the hook before installing the wiring.
WARNING
Always choose a mounting location that is
suffi
ciently strong enough to withstand the maximum pulling
capacity of your winch.
WARNING
Never use bolts that are too long.
WARNING
Always spool the winch rope onto the drum
in the direction specifi ed by the drum rotation labels on the
winch and/or in the documentation. This is required for the
automatic brake (if so equipped) to function properly.
WARNING
Always wind the winch rope on the bottom
(mount side) of the drum.
Only the mounting orientations shown are
possible for safe winching operation (Refer to
the following diagrams for proper mounting
orientation). All others are improper and
inappropriate. The mounting details indicate the
proper torque levels.
The use of recommended bolt and lock washer
combinations torqued to recommended levels will
prevent vibration during operation. Specifications
listed below. Mounting system will dictate bolt
length.
