Installation
If the winch has a plasma rope fitted this will have to
be removed prior to fitment as the hook is not
removable and the rope will have to be threaded
though the fairlead once the winch is fixed in place.
Refer to operation section on how to replace cable for
removal.
Step One
Mount electric winch to the vehicle using nuts and bolts
provided. If the provided hardware does not
accommodate the installation, use SAE grade 8.8 bolts
or higher with torque to 35ft/lbs. It should be aligned
and secured to a solid part of the vehicle (front or rear)
where the full rated load will be evenly distributed. Also
remember that the winch is designed for horizontal not
vertical pull.
Step Two
Connect the red (positive) battery cable from the
solenoid assembly to the closest screw-down positive
(+) terminal to 12 volt battery.
Caution
- Battery cables should not be drawn taut.
Leave slack for some cable movement.
Step Three
Connect the black (negative) battery cable from solenoid
assembly to the closest screw-down negative (-)
terminal to 12 volt battery.
Step Four
Test electric winch for proper operation. Refer to the
operation section.
