assembling the Winch
This CPE 3000 lb . (1361 kg .) winch is designed
with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class
of winch . Many winch mounting kits are available
that utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular
UTVs and ATVs . If you cannot find a kit locally,
contact CPE and we will provide you with the
name of a dealer .
1 . Insert M10x20 bolts through the mounting
channel holes and attach the roller fairlead
to the mounting channel with the M10 lock
washers and M10 nuts provided .
2 . Turn the winch upside down . Place the
mounting channel on the winch, making sure
the winch is centered in the middle of it .
3 . Thread the M8x25 bolts through the M8 flat
and lockers washers, and then thread through
the mounting channel . Tighten the bolts . DO
NOT over tighten .
4 . Turn winch right side up . Disengage the
clutch by moving the Cam Ring to the “Out”
position . Release the wire rope and pull
through the roller fairlead .
5 . Attach the clevis hook to the cable, and then
hand strap to the clevis hook .
The type of vehicle to which the winch and
mounting channel will be applied, will dictate
the type of mounting kit that should be used
(Speed Mount™ Hitch Adapter, Standard
Mounting Channel, or Specialty Mounting Kit) .

assembling the Winch Cont’d.
Contactor/solenoid location
Find a location for the contactor/solenoid . It is
recommended that the contactor/solenoid be
mounted close to the battery in a clean, dry
location . Make sure the location chosen allows for
sufficient clearance from all metal components .
Drill mounting holes if required . Once a location
is found, DO NOT install the unit until all wiring
is completed (see wiring section) .
Installing the rocker switch
1 . Decide which handlebar the rocker switch will
be mounted on . (The rocker switch is usually
installed on the left handlebar) .
2 . Use a piece of electrical tape (not provided)
around the handlebar to help prevent rotation
of the mount .
3 . Tighten the rocker switch in place . DO NOT
over tighten or tighten/clamp over any hoses
or cables .
4 . Once the rocker switch is mounted, the wires
can be routed back to where the contactor/
solenoid is located .
5 . Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the rocker switch’s
cable with the supplied cable ties .
Terminals coming in contact with metal will cause
a direct short, possibly causing contactor/solenoid
and/or battery damage .
