MOUNTING WINCH
Winch body on 9000 lb. and 10500 lb. winch has mounting holes only on the bottom. Winch body on 12000 lb.
winch has four mounting holes on front, back, and bottom of the winch. This may allow the winch to be mount-
ed easier on some winch mounts or for other applications.
The motor on Mile Marker 2-speed winches may also be rotated in 90º increments if needed. This may allow
easier installation on some winch mounts.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Depending on amount of clearance between winch mount tray and winch body, attach the roller fairlead with
two bolts (B-3/8 16 X 1¼ SS Hex Head Bolt) through roller fairlead and pre-drilled holes on front of winch mount
tray and attach with 3/8 SS nuts (not provided) .
When facing grill of truck, position the winch with the hydraulic 2-speed levers to the left (passenger side).
The Free/Low lever will be on top. In this position, 4 mounting holes will be on the bottom on any style of Mile
Marker winch. CABLE MUST SPOOL OFF BOTTOM OF DRUM !
Attach winch to winch-mount tray by screwing 4 bolts (C-3/8 X 16 X 1 SS Hex Head Bolt) and washers (D-3/8 SS
Washer) through the pre-drilled holes in bottom of winch mount tray into bottom of winch body. Tighten to 35
ft/lbs. Make sure that you have AT LEAST 6 threads going into the winch legs, but NO MORE THAN 10 threads go-
ing into winch leg.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Keep all hoses away from any areas where heat may be considered too extreme (such as exhaust manifold or
turbo). Lines cannot be mounted or allowed to rub on any abrasive or vibrating/moving surfaces
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
REMOVAL OF FACTORY HOSE Take a clean drain bucket to catch the oil and place under the vehicle.
VACUUM BRAKES (NON HYDROBOOST)
If the vehicle is NOT equipped with hydroboost, remove the factory high pressure hose from the power steering
pump to the steering box. Let it drip dry, and store in safe place. This will be necessary to re-install if the winch
is ever removed from vehicle. See Figure 2.
HYDROBOOSTED
If the vehicle is equipped with hydroboost, remove the factory high pressure hose from the hydroboost to the
steering box. There is only one high pressure hose going to the steering box. See Figure 3.
