SE35
Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 17 ft. lbs.
Before you start to install this winch,
disconnect the vehicle ground and positive
leads from the battery.
This KFI 3,500 lb winch is designed with a bolt
pattern that is standard in this class of winch.
Many winch mounting kits are available that
utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular
ATV’s and UTV’s. You can nd most of the
ATV/UTV winch mounts on our Website

1. Install the winch and fairlead with the
supplied hardware per the instructions
provided with the model specic mounting
kit or prepare a at, secure mounting
location for the winch.
Step 2-Mount the Contactor
1. Find a location for the contactor. If the
Model specic mounting kit does not indicate
a recommended contactor location, then
it is recommended that the contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean dry
location. Make sure the location you chose
allows sufcient clearance from all metal
components. Drill mounting holes if required.
Once location is found do not install until all
wiring is completed.

NOTE
If you chose not to use a model specic

Step 3-Mount the Handlebar
Switch
1. The switch is usually installed on the left
handlebar.
2. Use a piece of electrical tape around the
handlebar to help prevent rotation of the
mount on the handlebar. Do NOT tighten
over any hoses or cables.
3. Once your switch is mounted you can
route the wires back to where your
contactor is located.
4. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the
supplied wire splice. You may need to use
a test light to locate a suitable wire. The
wire should only have power when the key
is in the ON position.
5. Make sure the handlebars have full range
of motion and then secure the switch’s
cable with the supplied cable ties.
