Before Beginning Installation

1. Disconnect power lead from winch to battery.
2. Disengage winch clutch.
3. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for easier access to installation

area.

4. Locate & mark mounting locations for receiver, toggle switch, solenoid

assembly, & antenna.
NOTE: Make sure locations are close enough for wiring connections to
be made without making alterations to wire lengths. Solenoid assembly
will be mounted to tube frame of ATV using supplied tube clamps,
except Polaris models which mount directly to the ATV cross member
under hood using supplied mounting screws.
For certain mounting applications, where the solenoid needs to be
mounted at the rear of the vehicle, switch the battery and motor leads.
This will allow the longer leads to reach the winch at the front of the
vehicle.
The antenna will need a space of at least 15” wide under cowling or
hood for mounting in the horizontal configuration required for best
reception. Antenna is flexible and will follow the contour of the cowling
or hood. The antenna should be mounted at least 10” from winch motor
and battery leads.

Installing the Receiver

1. Insert plastic tie through mounting ears on receiver and secure receiver to

location determined above.

2. Tighten plastic tie and clip excess.

3. Attach ground wire to ATV frame.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALTER THE LENGTH OF THE GROUND WIRE AS
THIS WILL AFFECT PERFORMANCE OF THE REMOTE.

4. Attach wiring harness to receiver & route yellow and green wires to sole-

noid location.

Installing the Motor Leads (unless motor and battery leads are switched)

1. Connect black wire to #2 stud on motor.

2. Connect black with yellow stripe wire to #1 stud.
