Winch ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
1. Your CPE 2,000 lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard
in this class of winch. Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize
this bolt pattern for the most popular ATV’s and mounting channels. If
you cannot find a kit locally, contact CPE and we will provide you with the
name of a dealer near you.
2. Regardless of the mounting kit you use, ensure that your CPE winch is
mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum
and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch
will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
3. Utilize the M8 x 30 mounting bolts, washers and nuts included.
4. Connect the battery (5’ 9”) and motor (4’ 1”) leads. Connect the red
(P) to the in-facing terminal () on the motor and the black
(Negative-) to the out-facing terminal (marked -) on the motor. Then
connect the red (P) lead from the power switch to the positive (+)
terminal of the vehicles 12 volt battery. Connect the black (Negative -)
lead from the power switch to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
