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.

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)
Attach fairlead to mounting plate
using 2 bolts, nuts, flat and lock
washers provided. Attach winch to
mounting plate. Place square nuts
inside slots on feet of winch.
Thread 4 bolts with flat and lock
washers provided into nuts in
winch.
The mounting plate must be flat
and a minimum of
" thick. The
1/4
ends of the mounting bolts must
not bottom out in the winch body,
and must fully engage the threads
in the nuts.
Do not

Step (4)
Refer to Figure 7 for wiring
diagram. Apply several layers of
electrical tape where wiring may
come into contact with sharp metal
parts of the vehicle to prevent insu-
lation abrasion or cutting.
Route end of wire rope through
fairlead and attach clevis hook.
Use clevis pin and cotter pin to
secure.
If unit control box is not pre-wired
from factory, wire as directed.
Route negative (black) and positive
(red) wires from battery to winch.
Install circuit breaker directly to
battery when connecting red wire.
Step (5)
Set (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" position. Activate
the winch in Cable Out momentarily
to check drum rotation direction. If
the drum rotates in the wrong direc-
tion, recheck your wiring.

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
