major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
2. Start by connecting the roller fairlead to the mounting channel using 2 each of
the cap screws M10 X 35, flat washers, lock washers and securing with locknut
M10 (Make sure the screw is placed through the mounting channel and roller
fairlead from inside the channel. This will allow enough clearance for the winch
to be placed in the channel without obstruction.)
3. Assemble the winch to the mounting channel by first pulling and releasing the
clutch knob to the “Free Spool” position. Pull out a few inches of cable from the
drum and feed the wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting
channel and roller fairlead. Now, using the remaining M10 x 35 cap screws, flat
washer, lock washer and hex nut M10 secure the winch to the mounting
channel.
4. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Keep in mind that
every type of winch is different each other.
5. Connect the winch motor leads as detailed below:
CAUTION – Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive.
Wear eye protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over
battery while making connections.
6. Assemble the Clevis Hook to the cable. Take off the pin from the clevis hook,
connect the Clevis Hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the clevis Hook.
