Step (4)
Refer to Figure 7 for wiring diagram.
Step (5)
Route the wiring harness, attaching
the harness to hard points on the
vehicle with cable ties.
Note: When routing the wires, the
appropriate terminals should be
located near the battery, switch
mounting point, and winch. Your
installation requirements will vary
depending upon your vehicle and
winch. Make sure wires are long
enough to reach the battery,
switch mounting point and winch.
Ensure that the
WARNING
!
wiring harness
does not interfere or come in con-
tact with and hot or moving engine,
suspension, steering, braking, or
exhaust parts.
Step (6)
Using the supplied clamps, bracket
and hardware mount switch box in
a convenient location. See Figure 7.
Note: Hole pattern in switch box
mounting bracket allows switch
box mounting in any one of several
positions and orientations. Always
use both box combination head
screws provided. Punch out the
appropriate two mounting holes
in the switch box. Short and long
extension links are provided to
elevate the switch as needed. Do
not use more than one link to
mount the switch box mounting
bracket to the round tube clamps.
ALWAYS USE THE
CAUTION
!
BOX MOUNTING
BRACKET, TWO SCREWS AND LOCK
NUTS PROVIDED. Screw lengths are
sized for correct penetration into the
switch box. Excess penetration may

result in short circuits that could
lead to wire over heating.
Wire terminals
WARNING
!
must be properly
installed on the switch. Improper
installation will result in high
resistance connections that could
lead to excessive heat.
Step (7)
Match wire terminals to the appro-
priate spade terminals on the back
of the rocker switch and make con-
nections (Figure 7).
Step (8)
Insert switch into switch box. Insert
each wire into the loom slots in the
back of the switch box. Fasten the
top lid of the switch box using the
supplied self-tapping screws.
Two pieces of split loom tubing are
provided. Bundle the two wires to
the motor in one piece of tubing
and the two wires to the battery in
the other piece of tubing.
Be sure that
WARNING
!
switch mounting
position does not impede the opera-
tion of the vehicle. Before driving
the vehicle, test the vehicle control
system range of motion to ensure
that switch wiring does not interfere
with vehicle operation.
Step (9)
Connect the unmarked terminal of
the circuit breaker assembly to the
positive (red) battery wire (Figure 7).
Step (10)
Connect short, red wire between
circuit breaker assembly +BAT
terminal and positive battery
terminal (Figure 7).
Two terminal boots are supplied to
insulate the terminals on the circuit
breaker assembly. After installing the
boots over the wires, the boots can
be secured to a non-metal part on
the vehicle to hold the breaker in
place. Insulated clips, wire ties, or
tape may be used.
Step (11)
Connect the remaining black wire
to the negative battery terminal
(Figure 7).
Step (12)
Reconnect the vehicle positive
and ground leads to the battery.
Before testing
WARNING
!
winch operation,
be sure to reel off approximately
two feet of wire rope.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped
with side pole terminals, it may
be necessary to obtain auxiliary
side terminal bolts from your local
auto parts dealer to make these
connections.
Note: If you choose to locate the
winch at a greater distance than
the wires provided will permit,
winch speed or pulling capacity
may decrease.
Step (13)
Pull and turn (see Figure 9) the
freespool clutch knob to the
"Disengaged" position. Pull several
feet of wire rope off the drum.
Return the clutch knob back to the
"Engaged" position. Activate the
winch in Cable Out momentarily to
check drum rotation direction. If
the drum rotates in the wrong
direction, recheck your wiring.
SWITCH OPERATION
The winch

assembly must
be kept free of dirt and moisture
to ensure safe operation.
Activate the winch by depressing
the switch in either direction; Rope
In or Rope Out, as indicated on the
switch (Figure 8).
The rocker switch automatically
returns to the OFF position when
released.

Note: In the OFF position, an electri-
cal shunt provides dynamic braking
action, which will eliminate coast-
ing. In the OFF position, the shunt
reduces the action of a load back-
driving the winch. However, a load
can cause the winch to creep.
The winch is not

designed to act
as a load holding device.
DO NOT use the winch to
hold loads in place. Use tie
down straps or chains for
securing loads.
Disconnect the

battery when unattended to prevent
unauthorized use.
