WINCH ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
1. Your 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 popular vehicles and mounting channels. If you will utilize the mounting
channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three
major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
2. Start by connecting the roller fairlead to the mounting channel using 2 each of
the cap screw M10 X 35, flat washer, lock washer and securing with locknut
M10 (Make sure the screw is placed through the mounting channel and roller
fairlead from inside the channel. This will allow enough clearance for the winch
to be placed in the channel without obstruction.)
3. Assemble the winch to the mounting channel by first pulling and releasing the
clutch knob to “CLUTCH OUT” position. Pull out a few inches of cable from the
drum and feed the wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting
channel and roller fairlead. Now, using the remaining M10 x 35 cap screws, flat
washer, lock washer and nut M10 secure the winch to the mounting channel.
4. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Keep in mind that
every type of winch is different each other.
5. Connect the winch motor leads as detailed below:
