Temporarily Wiring the Winch
Your utility winch can be temporarily wired to a
12V battery .

battery cables will not be pinched, cut or
damaged .
2 . Remove the protective plastic covering on the
winch that covers the socket that houses the
male ends .
3 . Plug in the female ends of the battery cable
into the socket . (A)
4 . Route the battery cables from the winch
location to the battery location, securing
them along an anchor or frame .
5 . Use the Red positive (+) battery clamp and
attach the clamp to the Red positive (+)
terminal of the battery .
6 . Use the Black negative (-) battery clamp from
the wire and attach the clamp to a bare metal
part of the frame of the vehicle or another
bare metal part not on the battery or winch,
to create a secure and safe electrical ground .
Remote Control
Your utility winch comes with a handheld wired
remote control . The remote control is easy to
connect . Once the winch has been connected to a
battery and properly grounded, remove the plastic
protective piece on the winch . Next take the male
ends of the remote control cord and plug them
into the female end connectors in the winch . (B)
Test the remote by using the clutch to draw out
some wire cable and then winching the wire cable
in about 1 to 2 in . (2 .5 to 5 .1 cm) .
