Installation

The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and
exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial
applications. All other applications will void warranty.

It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat
surface so that the three major sections (the motor end,
the drum, and the gear housing end) are properly
aligned.

The Aluminum Hawse Fairlead included with the winch is
required for use with the synthetic rope.

Attach aluminum hawse fairlead to channel using hard-
ware furnished with winch. Attach winch to channel.
Thread capscrews with lockwashers through mounting
holes in mounting surface and into winch feet (see figure
below).

Refer to diagrams on the opposite page for mounting
information. Tighten all winch mounting bolts to 34 ft-
lbs. torque.

Substitution of attaching hardware items (bolts, nuts or
washers) different from those supplied with your winch
and mounting kit can lead to failure causing damage or
serious injury (use SAE grade 5 bolts or better).

Place end of rope through fairlead and attach hook. Use
roll pin and cotter pin (see figure below).
