STEP 15 INSTALL HOOK AND STRAP
STEP 14 INSTALL WINCH INTO RECEIVER
Use needle nose pliers to remove the cotter pin from the clevis on
the winch hook, and remove the pin from the hook. Ensure the clutch
control knob on the winch is in the ON position, and remove the
rubber band from the spool, being sure to keep tension on the spool
to prevent cable from unraveling from the spool. Carefully turn the
control knob to OFF position and feed just enough cable through the
fairlead to attached the hook. Immediately return the winch control
knob to the ON position, keeping tension on the cable to prevent
unspooling. Install the clevis pin through the hook and cable loop, and
re-install the cotter pin. Use your controller to reel the cable back in
and tight on the winch.
Re-install the seat tray, seat, console, prop shaft cover, and hood.
Install the winch into the receiver and plug in the quick connection.
Use your controller to verify that the motor engages before
progressing with the installation.
