When installing a winch, your instal-
lation may vary from the manual dia-
grams and instructions included here
due to vehicle and mounting operation
in the structure. Always disconnect the
battery from the vehicle to remove the
electric hazard.
CAUTION
If you choose not to use an ATV mounting
kit, you may be required to drill holes
in a structural support on the ATV. Be
sure the location will be strong enough
to support the rated pulling force of the
winch. Do not drill into wiring or gas
tank! If the mounting bolts needed are
different length than supplied, use a
bolt of equal or better quality to that
supplied by the manufacture. Torque the
kits 5/16 in Grade 8 mounting bolts to
12 lbs-ft.(1.7 kg-m)
1. Install the mounting kits or prepare
