MOUNTING WINCH
Choose a mounting location
that is suffi ciently strong enough
to withstand the loads you intend
to winch. Only the mounting
orientations shown are possible for
safe winching operation. All others

The use of recommended bolt
and lock washer combinations
torqued to recommended levels will
prevent vibration during operation.
The mounting details indicate the
proper torque levels.
Remember the winch rope
must always spool onto the drum
as indicated by the drum rotation
decal.
Refer to the following
diagrams for proper mounting
orientation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Diagrams:
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Use the included insulating
boots on exposed connections to
prevent electrical shorting. Route
battery connection cables in areas
which will not cause them to
chafe or cut through the insulation
causing a potential short circuit.
Upon completion of
installation, check winch for proper
operation.
WARNING
Never route
electrical cables
across sharp
edges.
WARNING
Never
route
electrical cables
near parts that
get hot.
WARNING
Never
route
electrical cables
through or near
moving parts.
WARNING
Always place
the supplied
terminal boots
on wires and
terminals as
directed by
the installation
instructions.
Battery Recommendations
A fully charged battery and
good connections are essential
to the proper operation of your
winch. The minimum requirement
for a 12 volt DC battery is 650 Cold
Cranking Amps.
WARNING
Always insulate
and protect all
exposed wiring
and electrical
terminals.
