Installation

1)  Install a suitable mounting bumper, or mounting plate in 
the required position. The winch must be mounted with the 
direction of pull perpendicular to the mounting bolt fixings. 
The steel plate should be at least 6mm thick.
2) Attach fairlead (4-Way Roller type for wire rope or 
Aluminium Hawse for Synthetic Rope) to mounting plate using 
two nuts (9) and bolts (1) with flat (7) and spring washers (8).
3) Insert 

the four square nuts (2) into the pockets at the base 

of the winch frame.
4) Thread 

the four high tensile bolts (5) with flat (3) and spring 

(4) washers up through the mounting plate and into the square 
nuts in the winch. Tighten the mounting bolts to a torque 
setting of 60 Nm.

5)  The supplied bolts are the correct length for installation 
on a 6-7mm plate. Other thicknesses may require bolts of a 
different length. Use at least 8.8 grade high tensile bolts, the 
thread length should be sufficiently long to fully engage the 
square nut but must not bottom out on the top of the pocket 
in the winch frame.
6) Feed the end of the wire rope through the roller fairlead (6) 
and attach the clevis hook or with a synthetic rope with fixed 
hook, feed the drum end of the synthetic rope through the 
hawse from the front and attach to the drum using the allen 
head cap screw finger tight only, ready for spooling onto the 
drum.
