WARNING
Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all
text under subheadings before set up or use of this Hydraulic winch.
Mounting the Winch:
1.
The mounting plate must be rated to at least the winch
’ s capacity. It must be flat and strong enough
to remain flat at maximum winch capacity. Winch must sit flat on winch mount with no gaps under
drum supports.
2.
Align the winch perpendicular to centerline of the vehicle at the desired location and mark the
locations of the winch base holes. Compare the dimensions of the marked holes.
3.
Before drilling, verify that the installation surface has no hidden components or structural pieces that
will be damaged.
NOTE:
This winch can generate extreme forces. Select a location that can withstand the rated
capacity without damage or weakening. Steel reinforcement plates may be needed or a certified
welder may need to weld on additional bracing depending on the mounting location.
4.
Drill holes for the hardware at the marked locations.
5.
Install the winch using hardware described under the specifications table.
