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.
