Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 17 ft. lbs.
Before you start to install this winch,
disconnect the vehicle ground and positive
leads from the battery.
This KFI 5,000 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 UTV’s. You can find most of the
ATV/UTV winch mounts on our Website
www.kfiproducts.com
1. Install the winch and fairlead with the
supplied hardware per the instructions
provided with the model specific mounting
kit or prepare a flat, secure mounting
location for the winch.
Step 2-Mount the Contactor
1. Find a location for the contactor. If the
Model specific mounting kit does not indicate
a recommended contactor location, then
it is recommended that the contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean dry
location. Make sure the location you chose
allows sufficient clearance from all metal
components. Drill mounting holes if required.
Once location is found do not install until all
wiring is completed.
Step 3-
UTV Dash Mounted
Rocker Switch Kit
1. Most UTV’s and SxS’s have predefined
switch locations that are pre-scribed or
marked for mounting and require finish cut
with a knife.
2. Use the cut-out dimensions shown below
to cut-out the switch location If your dash
doesn’t have the pre-scribed areas
3. Once your switch is mounted you can route
the wires back to where your contactor is
located.
4. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the
supplied wire splice. You may need to use a
test light to locate a suitable wire. The wire
should only have power when the key is in
the ON position.
