Installation (continued)
Bolt (3w), Flat Washer (5w), Lock Washer (4w) and Nut (6w), place through the mounting
channel and the vehicle frame and tighten to at least 35 ft. lbs.
NOTE: The winch should be mounted to flat part of the vehicle (frame) that is capable of sup-
porting and evenly distributing the Winch and its full load capacity. Remember, the Winch
is designed for horizontal pull, NOT vertical.
8. Connect the (two short Black) Solenoid Cables to both terminals on the Winch (see
FIGURE 1). Securely tighten nuts.
Caution: The Battery cables should not be drawn taut. Leave slack for some cable move-
ment. Do not route cables near moving engine parts, or heated areas that could melt the
cable insulation.
9. Connect the Battery Wire Assy. Red (positive +) (17s) from the Solenoid Assembly (34w)
to the positive (+) terminal on the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.
10. Connect the Battery Wire Assy. Black (negative –) (20s) from the Solenoid Assembly
(34w) to the negative (–) terminal on the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.
11. To check for correct winch motor rotation, first disengage the winch clutch by moving the
Cam Ring (11w) to the “out” position.
12. Pull out 3-4ft. of the Cable Assy. and then reengage the winch clutch by moving the Cam
Ring (11w) to the “in” position.
13. Insert the Switch Assy. (35w) into the Connector (9s) on the side of the of the Solenoid
Assy. (34w).
14. Now momentarily press the “Red” button on the Switch Assy. (35w) and observe if the
cable is being wound back into the winch. If not, first disconnect the Red (+) battery
cable and then reverse the two short Black Solenoid cables attached to the end of the
winch motor (see Figure 1). Now reconnect the battery cable. Installation of the winch is
now complete.
