STEP 5:  MOUNT THE HOLSTER

For ATV use, the typical location for the holster is on the left 
handlebar.

  The holster clamp must be mounted before assembly

  Do not tighten over any hoses, cables, or wiring.

  For ATVs, it is recommended that the holster be clamped on 

the left handlebar. The clamp is designed to prevent rotation.
If necessary, a piece of electrical tape around the handlebar 
may be used to prevent slipping.

  For UTVs, the holster may be mounted on the dash or other 

convenient surface using two #10 or M5 machine screws and 
locknuts.

  Assemble the holster as shown.  Holster may be oriented in 

any one of eight positions.

STEP 6: SYSTEM CHECK

1. Insure that wiring to all components is correct and all loose

wires are securely tie wrapped.

2. Insure that there are no exposed terminals or wiring. Cover 

any bare terminal with terminal boots, heat shrink tubing or 
electrical tape.

3. Turn ATV ignition switch to the ON position.

4.  Check winch for proper operation using the handlebar 

switch.

  

The wire rope should spool in and out in the direction 

indicated on the switch.  If winch functions correctly, proceed 
to the next step.  Otherwise troubleshoot.

5.  Press and hold both buttons on the wireless handheld remote 

until the GREEN indicator light comes on.  The wireless system 
is now active and ready to use.

6.  By pressing the buttons on the remote, verify that the winch 

powers IN and powers OUT properly.

REPLACING BATTERIES

If the indicator light on the handheld remote flashes RED during 
winching, the batteries are low and should be replaced.

1.  Remove the two screws from the handheld remote.

2.  Separate the top and bottom sections of the remote using a 

coin or screw driver.

3.  Remove the old batteries and dispose in accordance with local 

environmental regulations.

4.  Insert new alkaline batteries as shown with the positive 

terminals facing the switches. Do not mix old and new 
batteries.

5.  Join the top and bottom sections making sure that they snap 

together and rubber seal remains intact.

6.  Secure with the two screws.
