Wiring:
To prevent serious injury, from explosion, due to sparking at the battery connection, disconnect
the Battery Cables before making other wiring connections.
To prevent serious injury from leaking battery acid, do not use a dirty, corroded, or leaking battery. Only
use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery that is in good condition.
Apply Di-Electric Grease to all electrical connections after securing wire terminal to electrical post if the
winch will be in very moist or corrosive environment.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the planned winch location to the battery. This route must be secured
and out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or any location where parts may be damaged. For
example, you may wish to route the wires under the vehicle, attaching it to the frame using suitable
fasteners. Do not attach the wires to the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line
or any other components which may damage the wiring.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part of the body to route the wires, be sure to install a rubber
grommet in the hole to prevent fraying the wires.
3. Route the cables from the winch to the battery, following the precautions discussed. Install electrical
insulation boots on cables before connecting to electrical posts. See image below:
