slip.
Never
use as an overhead hoist, or to suspend a load.
Never
use to lift or move persons.
Never
exceed the winch or wire rope rated capacity.
Never
apply load to hook tip or latch. Apply load to only the center of the hook.

ASSEMBLY OF WINCH
WARNING:
Before installing this winch, disconnect the vehicle ground and positive
leads from the battery.
WARNING:
CHEMICAL AND FIRE HAZARD. Failure to observe these instructions
could lead to severe injury or death.
Always
remove jewelry and wear eye protection.
Never
lean over battery while making connections.
Always
verify area is clear of fuel lines, fuel tank, brake lines, electrical wires, etc when drilling.
Never
route electrical cables:
1.
Across any sharp edges.
2.
Through or near moving parts.
3.
Near parts that become hot.
Always
insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.
Always
install terminal boots as directed.
Always
choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong to withstand the maximum pulling
capacity of the winch.
NOTE:
The wire cable has been installed on your winch under minimal load at the factory. The
wire rope must be re-spooled onto the drum under load so that the outer layers will not draw down
into the inner layers, damaging the wire rope.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or prepare a flat, secure mounting location for the winch. Carefully follow the
instructions included with the mounting kit.
NOTE:
If you manufacture your own mounting plate it should have at least 1/4in. thickness.
Fasteners should be steel high-tensile grade 5 or better. A poorly designed mount may void warranty.
If you choose not to use a mounting kit, you will need to drill holes in the structural support of your
vehicle. Be certain that your structural support will stand up to the rated pulling forces of this winch.
Step (2)
Position the winch over the holes in the mounting kit or structural support.
Step (3)
Secure winch to mounting kit or structural support using bolts, washers and nuts supplied.
