Mounting
CAUTION:
To prevent serious injury due to accidental activation, complete the winch installation
before wiring.
WARNING:
Always choose a mounting location that is sufficiently strong to withstand the winch
pulling capacity.
WARNING:
Always spool the winch rope onto the drum in the direction specified in the
documentation.
This winch should always be mounted in a horizontal orientation with the rope winding on /
off the bottom of the drum. This ensures that the automatic brake will function correctly and
it helps prevent the rope from bunching on one end of the drum. Bunching can damage the
winch.
Included Mounting Components:
4 x M10 locknuts (1.5), 4 x M10 bolts (1.5 / 35 8.8), 2 x 7/16 bolts (1 / 14)
1. Install a mounting bracket if necessary
2. If using a mounting bracket, fasten the fairlead to the mounting
bracket using the 2 x 7/16 bolts (1 / 14). If you’re not using a
mounting plate, attach the fairlead where required. It must be
directly in-line with the rope spool direction.
3. Set the 4 x M10 locknuts (1.5) into the winch feet.
4. Thread the end of the rope through the opening of the mounting
bracket and fairlead.
5. Set the winch the in mount, install the 4 x M10 bolts (1.5 / 35
8.8) and tighten them. Always confirm required bolt length to
ensure proper thread engagement.
6. Attach the hook to the winch rope loop and attach the hook strap
to the hook.
