Mounting of the Winch
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure that the mounting surface is of
sufficient strength to support a load well
in excess of the rated winch capacity.
2. Fasten the winch to the mounting surface
with three 1⁄2” bolts, nuts, washers and
lockwashers. Be sure that the winch is
positioned so that the cable does not rub
the front opening of the winch.
3. For double line use (see Figure 3), install
an eye hook on the winch stand close to
the base of the winch for fastening the
stationary cable hook from pulley block
(not supplied) Be sure the eyehook is
of sufficient strength to withstand loads
in excess of the single line rating of the
winch.
Figure 3
4. Winch is equipped with keyhole slots in
the base for use with quick mounting
shoulder studs, if desirable..If you wish
to use quick mount studs, they should be
mounted securely into the winch stand.
After positioning the winch on the studs,
a 3/8”bolt should be placed in one of the
other holes available to keep the winch
securely in position.
5. Confirm that the winch is positioned so
that the hook or pulley block will not be
drawn into the drum and the cable will
not rub the front opening. Do not reverse
the direction cable if wound on drum.
WIRING HARNESS INSTALLATION
The wiring harness is designed to be
permanently installed on a vehicle and
stored in the trunk or truck bed, etc. This
prevents tampering, accident or misuse of
the winch since the harness is needed to
operate the winch electrically.
The wiring harness can be made re movable
from the vehicle with the Electrical Quick
Connect(see parts list to order).
1. Feed positive lead (long) wire only
through any convenient access hole
inside the car trunk. It may be necessary
to remove a knockout plug or rubber
grommet from the trunk floor. It may
also be necessary to remove the circuit
breaker assembly from the positive wire
in order to feed the wire under the car.
2. Pull the positive lead wire along the
underside of the car into the engine
compartment and up to the battery.
3. Fasten the circuit breaker to the
po)battery terminal(if nut and
bolt type )or to the battery side of the
starter solenoid.

4. Attach negative wire to vehicle frame
using a 1/4”bold and locknut. Make sure
you have a clean, tight connection.
5. Fasten the wire to the car undercarriage
with existing wiring clamps and brackets,
(or plastic wire ties as needed)making
sure wire is not located near the exhaust
system, or any hot or moving parts. Wire
should be fastened securely and without
slack. Excess wire should remain in the
trunk.
NOTE: If winch is to be mounted in
front of vehicle, cut the harness to
the length needed. If spliced, make
sure the splice is tight and well
insulted. Attach ground as described
in 4 above.
