MINIMUM ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
For 12 volt winches, a 60 ampere
alternator and battery with 440
cold-cranking amperes capacity are
the minimum recommended power

an auxiliary battery and heavy duty
alternator with battery isolator are
recommended.
Step (1)
Install mounting kit or structural
support for winch.
Step (2)

When attaching wires to the motor
terminals and solenoids (relays),
hold the inner nut when tightening
the outer nut. Do not allow the
motor terminals to rotate for it may
cause internal wire breakage or
part misalignment. Be especially

Step (4)
Route the two (2) wires through
the vehicle grille to the battery. To
ensure against insulation abrasion
and/or cutting, apply several layers
of electrical tape where wiring may
come in contact with sharp metal
parts of the vehicle. Attach the cir-
cuit breaker assembly to the end of
the blue terminated wire. Wrap
the circuit breaker assembly with
electrical tape to prevent accidental
short circuits.
