If the winch has a 'through the drum' type fixing, undo the Allen head grub screw and
feed the end of the rope through the hole until it is visible on the other side, Secure
the grub screw. If the winch has a flange type fixing then secure the ring terminal
at the end of the rope using the pan head hex socket screw, but only finger tight to
allow the fixing to swivel on the screw. Spool the rope as per Section 4.
3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (Fig D)
•
Ensure your battery is in good condition and can provide a minimum of 750 CCA.
•
Route the supplied battery leads (long red lead from control box = Positive, separate
long black lead = Negative) directly to the battery location. Ensure that the cable is
protected throughout its run from heat and abrasion against sharp components.
•
Connect the negative battery lead to the winch motor earth terminal (never use a
chassis earth).
•
Ensure that the small earth wire from the control box (this is the earth supply to
the contactor) is connected to the battery fed winch motor earth terminal. Do not
attempt to use a chassis earth.

In the case of the 13500lb winch, now connect the remaining cables from the control
box to the motor observing the colour-coded boots on the cable and corresponding
colour-coded collars on the motor terminals.
•
When you are satisfied that all other connections are correctly installed, connect the
long red power lead to the positive terminal of the battery via an isolator switch and the
overload cut out, if being used.
