MOUNTING
Template NOT to scale
Mount control pack
It is recommended that the control pack be
mounted on a solid mounting surface and easily
accessible.
The control pack should be in a location that is as
clean and dry as possible.
Ensure the control pack mounting location
selected provides sufficient clearance from all metal
structures. Exact location will vary depending on
the vehicle.
To determine the winch motor cable assembly
and ground wire routing path, verify the path will
allow the winch motor cable assembly and ground
wire to be routed avoiding sharp edges, parts that
get hot and moving parts. Consider chassis flex and
vibration which might damage cable.
NOTE: You may need to adjust your original desired
control pack mounting location, due to specific
wiring lengths.
WARNING
Always verify area is clear of fuel lines, fuel
tank, brake lines, electrical wires, etc., when drilling.
After determining control pack mounting
location, you are ready to mount your control pack.
Mount to your vehicle
1. Use the template below as a guide for drilling
mounting holes. Holes should be drilled for M6
diameter bolt. W
ARNING! Be sure to check the area
before you drill to avoid hitting any electrical cables or
gas lines.
3. Secure the control pack using the supplied
hardware.
Mount to your bumper
1. Line up the control pack mounting holes
with holes on control pack mounting bracket
(Control pack mounting bracket kit sold
separately. Contact a Warn Industries
customer service representative at
1.800.543.9276 or visit www.warn.com).
2. Using hardware in kit, secure control pack to
control pack mounting plate.
3. Secure control pack assembly to bumper with
remaining hardware.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Step 3 - Install the Wiring
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death. Always
place the supplied terminal boots on wires and terminals as
directed by the installation instructions.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death from
electrical fi re:
Never route electrical cables across sharp edges.
Never route electrical cables near parts that get
hot.
Never route electrical cables through or near
moving parts.
Avoid pinch and wear/abrasion points when
installing all electrical cables.
WARNING
Always insulate and protect all exposed wiring
and electrical terminals.
NOTICE A fully charged battery and good connections are
essential to the proper operation of your winch. The minimum
requirement for a 12 volt DC battery is 650 Cold Cranking Amps.
Route battery connection cables in areas which
will not cause them to chafe or cut through the
insulation causing a potential short circuit.
The winch power wire must be routed to the
battery. A direct battery connection of the power
(red) and ground (black) cable is required.
WARNING!
Do not connect ground to vehicle chassis.
Routing the battery cables may require removal
of vehicle facia or body parts.
Always route battery cables along a path that
allows the cables to be secured with zip ties.
WARNING
Loose or unsecured power cables can cause
serious injury or death.
Always protect power cables from sharp edges,
areas that get too hot to touch with your hand and
any moving parts.
1. Plan the routing path.
2. Loosely secure power cables along path.
3. Confirm power cables are protected from sharp
edges, heat and moving parts. Consider chassis
flex and vibration which might damage cable.
4. Carefully inspect electrical cable routing. Zip
tie and secure electrical cables. Zip ties should
be snug, but not cutting into wire insulation.
Use electrical tape, pieces of rubber hose or
electrical conduit to protect electrical cables
and wire harness where needed to avoid
electrical cable insulation wear or abrasion.
5. Attach battery cables, red (positive) cable
FIRST, black (negative) second. Install boots
as appropriate to protect connections. Torque
battery terminal fasteners as directed by vehicle
service manual.
Upon completion of installation, check winch for
proper operation.
