Tighten all nuts and bolts on both sides of the
chassis brackets.

The installer may also re-install the plastic
cover plate but enlarging the original front
holes to fit over the bolts and nuts in the
bullbar bracket, this is the installer’s choice
and is recommended.
19.
Fit the winch cradle bracket (item no.2) to the
left and right chassis brackets as per page 3
with nuts, bolts and washers supplied.
20.
Carefully un-wrap the bulbar taking care not
to scratch it especially on the top loops.
Reinstall the number plate. If installing driving
lights to the bullbar it is easiest to install now.

instructions. For a brief overview see the
following steps.

Test fit your winch to the mounting bracket
and do up loosely with the clutch handle on
the left hand side of the vehicle.

This will require the clutch handle and gear-
box housing to be rotated forward one or 2
bolt holes to allow easy access through the
bulbar holes. See instructions in winch user
manual.
25.
Determine where the winch control box will
be located and mount the control box. See
instructions in winch user manual for control
box mounting options. If mounting to the top
of the bullbar using the supplied bracket,
check clearance of control box to grill and also
check where the wires will route as if the
wires are passing through the holes in the top
of the bullbar the control box may not be able
to be wired until the bullbar has been fitted as
below.
26.
Wire the winch up as per the winch
instruction manual and bolt the winch to the
mounting bracket, ensure the mounting bolts
are not too long and tighten correctly. Route
the wires and connect to battery and also
route the breather hose.
27.
Unwind some cable from the winch, and pass
the cable through the fairlead hole in the
bullbar and through the roller fairlead. This
may require removing a circlip from the
fairlead and re installing once the cable is
passed through.
28.
Install the roller fairlead into the bulbar.
29.
Check the poly bulbar over riders, fog light
and top loop bolts are tight (Do not over
tighten the stainless steel loop mounting
bolts. Do not over tighten the poly bullbar
over riders as they will pull the over riders out
of shape).
