Auxiliary 12V  

Accessory Power Post

For quick use of 12 volt accessories without 

popping the hood. Perfect for powering 

small items such as an air compressor. 
The power post is protected with a 50-

Amp automatic circuit breaker. In case of 

a ground short, or thermal overload, the 

breaker will trip, it will automatically reset 

itself after a short period of time after the 

fault is removed.
To use, open the cover to expose power 

post. Attach accessory POSITIVE lead to the 

post. Attach accessory NEGATIVE lead to 

a suitable ground location on your vehicle. 

NOTE: you may remove the button head bolt 

to connect a power wire with an eyelet. 

NEVER operate winch with less than 10 wraps 

of Synthetic rope around the drum. The terminal 

end is to prevent the rope from unraveling, it is 

NOT a load bearing attachment point. Improper 

installation and/or spooling out to last layer will 

put a load on the terminal end and the rope will 

release from the terminal. Always re-spool winch 

rope under minimum 1000lb. Load before each use.
*For more information see owners manual*
•  Inspect rope before each use

•  Protect the rope from coming in contact with 

sharp or rough objects that may damage, cut or 

weaken the rope

•  Never use rope over a rough surface without 

chafe protection

•  Never shock load winch rope

•  Never bend rope around unprotected, sharp 

corners

•  Always use an aluminum hawse fairlead with 

synthetic ropes

•  Always wash rope after use

•  Manufacturer is not responsible for the results
