4. Drill holes appropriate for the hardware at the marked locations.
5. Install the winch using hardware described under Specifications.
Mounting Winch Components:
1. Mount the solenoid box, switch controller, and socket lead in proper location so tha t:
a) Winch components are close enough to each other to allow wires to be routed properly.
b) Vehicle component operation is not interfered with.
c) Vehicle components are not d a m age d by drilling or driving sc r e ws.
d) Winch components will not be damaged b y stresses caused by vehicle operation.
2. Mark the locations where the screw holes will be.
3. Verify that the installation surface has no hidden components or structural p iece s that will be
damaged before d r illi n g.
4. Drill pilot holes for the mounting scr e ws.
5. Secure in place with mounting screws.
Wiring:
To prevent serious injury from explosion, due to sparking at the battery connection, disconnect the
Battery Cables before making other wiring connections.
To prevent serious injury from leaking battery acid, do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.
Only use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the vehicle where the winch will be
mounted, or used, to the battery. This route must be secure out of the way of
moving parts, road debris, or any possibility of being damaged by operation or
maintenance of the vehicle. For example , you may wish to route the wires under
the vehicle , attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners Do not attach the
wires to the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or
any other components which may create damage the wiring through heat or
motion, or create a fire hazard.
