1.3 Determine Mount Position
WARNING
Failure to adequately align, support, or attach the winch to a suitable mounting base could
result in a loss of efficiency of performance or damage to the winch, wire rope and mounting
surface.
1.4 Install the Winch
Your 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 popular vehicles and mounting channels. If you will utilize
the mounting channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections
(motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will allow even distribu-
tion of the full rated load.
Start by connecting the roller fairlead to the mounting channel using 2 each of the cap screw, flat washer
and lock washer and tighten to torque specified in Table Four. (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.)
Assemble the winch to the mounting channel by first rotating the clutch knob to "CLUTCH OUT" 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 cap screws secure the winch to the mount-
ing channel and tighten to torque specified in Table Four.
Assemble the clevis hook to the cable. Remove the cotter pin from the clevis hook, connect the clevis hook
to the cable and insert the cotter pin back to the clevis hook, bend the cotter pin to secure it.
Always use the hand saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope. Using the hand saver keeps
your hands and fingers away from the rotating drum.
