INSTALLATION
MOUNTING YOUR WINCH
1a) The winch is to be mounted into a suitable steel mounting frame using the 4 point foot
mounting system in either a horizontal or vertical plane.
b) It's very important that the winch be mounted on a flat surface so that the three sections (motor,
cable drum and gear housing) are properly aligned.
c) Before commencing installation ensure the mounting facility being used is capable of
withstanding the winches rated capacity.
d) The fitment of winches and/or a frontal protection system may affect the triggering of SRS air
bags.Check that the mounting system has been tested and approved for winch fitment in the airbag
equipped vehicle.
2. Winch mounting frames and /or Frontal Protection Systems are suggested to suit most popular
vehicles.Winch frames are packaged with detailed fitting instructions.
3. Should you wish to manufacture your own mounting plate the dimensions below will
assist.Asteel mount plate 6mm thick is recommended.Fasteners should be steel high tensile grade
5 or better.A poorly designed mount may void warranty.
4. The winch should be secured to the mounting with M12x35 thread precision Grade12 bolts and
spring washers provided.
5. The roller fairlead is to be mounted so as to guide the rope onto the drum evenly.
A is dimensions of 13000lbs, while B is dimensions of 16800lbs.
LUBRICATION INSTALLATION
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at
the time of assembly.Under normal conditions factory lubrication will surfice.Lubricate cable
periodically using light penetrating oil.Inspect for broken strands and replace if neccessary.If the
cable becomes worn or damaged it must be replaced.
