Installation Guide

The location of the Switch MUST NOT Interfere with safe operation of the vehicle
and winch. Wiring MUST NOT come in contact with any moving parts or sharp edges, such as
engine, winch drum, wire rope, straps, suspension, brakes, exhaust or steering.
Connect the Battery Cables from the WINCH2GO™ to the battery and plug in the handheld
controller. See Figure 12.
ALWAYS be sure that power and controller cables do not interfere with the winching operation
or tangle the winch operator. ALWAYS keep safety at top priority.
Automotive batteries contain gasses which are ammable and
explosive. Wear eye protection during installation and remove all metal jewelry.
Do not lean over battery while making connections.
