2.2 MOUNTING THE WINCH (Fig C)
•
Install a suitable mounting bumper or mounting plate in the required position. The
winch must be mounted with the direction of pull perpendicular to the mounting bolt
fixings. The plate should be fabricated from minimum 6mm steel.
•
Attach fairlead (roller type for wire rope or aluminium hawse for synthetic rope) to
the mounting plate using two nuts (9) & bolts (1) with flat (7) and spring (8) washers.
•
Insert the four square nuts (2) into the pockets at the base of the winch frame.
•
Thread the four high tensile bolts (5) with flat (3) and spring (4) washers up through
the mounting plate and into the square nuts in the winch. Tighten the mounting bolts
to a torque setting of 60Nm.
•
The supplied bolts are the correct length for installation on a 5-7mm plate. Other
thickness's may require bolts of a different length. The required criteria are that the
bolts are at least 8.8 grade high tensile, the thread length should be sufficiently long
to fully engage the square nut but must not protrude to the extent that the bolt
contacts the top of the nut housing in the winch frame.
•
If the rope is pre-spooled, feed the thimble eye on the hook end through the roller
fairlead (6) from the winch side and attach the clevis hook. If you are installing a
synthetic rope with a hawse fairlead or if the rope is fitted with a fixed competition
hook, you will need to pull off the rope and then feed it back through from the front
side of the fairlead.
