20. ALWAYS DISCONNECT WINCH
POWER LEADS TO BATTERY
BEFORE WORKING IN OR
AROUND THE WINCH DRUM so
that the winch cannot be turned
on accidentally.
21. When moving a load, slowly
take up the wire rope slack until
it becomes taut. Stop, recheck
all winching connections. Be
sure the hook is properly seated.
If a nylon sling is used, check the
attachment to the load.
22. When using your winch to move
a load, place the vehicle trans-
mission in neutral, set vehicle
brake, and chock all wheels.
23. DO NOT USE THE WINCH TO
HOLD LOADS IN PLACE.
Use other means of
securing loads such
as tie down straps.
24. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED
SWITCHES, REMOTE CONTROLS
AND ACCESSORIES. Use of non-
factory approved components
may cause injury or property
damage and could void your
warranty.
25. DO NOT MACHINE OR WELD
ANY PART OF THE WINCH. Such
alterations may weaken the
structural integrity of the winch
and could void your warranty.
26. DO NOT CONNECT WINCH TO
EITHER 110V AC HOUSE CUR-
RENT OR 220V MAINS AS WINCH
BURNOUT OR FATAL SHOCK
MAY OCCUR.
27. Never allow shock loads to be
applied to winch or wire rope.
28. Use caution when pulling or
lowering a load up and down a
ramp or incline. Keep people,
pets and property clear of the
path of the load.

Correct installation of your winch is
required for proper operation.
This winch MUST

!
be mounted
with the wire rope in the under-
wind direction. Improper mounting
could damage your winch and void
your warranty.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
Step (2)
Mount the winch to the mounting
kit base plate or to the mount that
you have designed. Typical mount is
to a flat surface capable of han-
dling the loads.
The M8 x 1.25 x 30mm mounting
bolts supplied are the correct length
for use with a 1/4" (6.3mm) thick
mounting plate.
Do not

substitute
any strength grade weaker than
ISO grade 4.6
Step (3)
Disconnect the vehicle battery leads.
Batteries contain

gasses which are
flammable and explosive. Wear eye
protection during installation and
remove all metal jewelry. Do not
lean over battery while making
connections.
Step (4)
Refer to Figure 7 for wiring
diagram.

Use the supplied hardware and
Brackets to mount the handlebar
Switch. Mount the solenoid close to
the battery, in the storage box, under
the seat or on the frame.
The location of
WARNING
!
the Switch MUST
not interfere with safe operation of
the vehicle. Wiring MUST NOT come
in contact with any moving parts or
sharp edges, such as engine, sus-
pension, brakes, exaust, or steering.
Route the red wire from the handle-
bar Switch to the ignition switch
and connect to the wire that is
powered when ignition is in the ON
position ONLY.
Route the two wires from the sole-
noid to the motor. Route the two
wires from the solenoid to the bat-
tery. Attach the circuit breaker to the
end of the red wire. Wrap the circuit
breaker with electrical tape to pre-
vent accidental short circuits.
Apply several layers of electrical
tape where wiring may come into
contact with sharp metal parts of
the vehicle to prevent insulation
abrasion or cutting.
Attach the short circuit breaker wire
to the battery positive terminal and

reattach the terminal to the battery.
Connect the remaining black sole-

minal and connect the terminal to
the battery.
Step (5)
Pull and turn (see Figure 8) the
freespool clutch knob to the "Free"
position. Pull several feet of wire
rope off the drum. Return the clutch
knob back to the "Engaged" posi-
tion. Activate the winch in Cable Out
momentarily to check drum rotation
direction. If the drum rotates in the
wrong direction, recheck your wiring.
FREESPOOL OPERATION
Pull and turn the clutch knob to the
"Free " position as shown in Figure
8. If there is a load on the wire rope,
the clutch knob may not pull out
easily. DO NOT FORCE THE CLUTCH
KNOB. Release tension on the clutch
by jogging out some of the wire
rope. Release the clutch and pull out
the wire rope and secure to anchor
or load. Check that there are at least
five (5) turns of wire rope left on the
drum. Re-engage the drum by
returning the clutch knob to the
"Engaged" position. (See Figure 8).
