2.2 MOUNTING THE WINCH (Fig C)
•
Install a suitable mounting bumper or mounting plate in the required position. The
winch must be mounted with the direction of pull perpendicular to the mounting bolt
fixings. The plate should be fabricated from minimum 6mm steel.
•
Attach fairlead (roller type for wire rope or aluminium hawse for synthetic rope) to
the mounting plate using two nuts (9) & bolts (1) with flat (7) and spring (8) washers.
•
Insert the four square nuts (2) into the pockets at the base of the winch frame.
•
Thread the four high tensile bolts (5) with flat (3) and spring (4) washers up through
the mounting plate and into the square nuts in the winch. Tighten the mounting bolts
to a torque setting of 60Nm.
•
The supplied bolts are the correct length for installation on a 5-7mm plate. Other
thickness's may require bolts of a different length. The required criteria are that the
bolts are at least 8.8 grade high tensile, the thread length should be sufficiently long
to fully engage the square nut but must not protrude to the extent that the bolt
contacts the top of the nut housing in the winch frame.
•
If the rope is pre-spooled, feed the thimble eye on the hook end through the roller
fairlead (6) from the winch side and attach the clevis hook. If you are installing a
synthetic rope with a hawse fairlead or if the rope is fitted with a fixed competition
hook, you will need to pull off the rope and then feed it back through from the front
side of the fairlead.

•
If the winch has a 'through the drum' type fixing, undo the Allen head grub screw and
feed the end of the rope through the hole until it is visible on the other side, Secure
the grub screw. If the winch has a flange type fixing then secure the ring terminal
at the end of the rope using the pan head hex socket screw, but only finger tight to
allow the fixing to swivel on the screw. Spool the rope as per Section 4.
3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (Fig D)
•
Ensure your battery is in good condition and can provide a minimum of 750 CCA.
•
Route the supplied battery leads (long red lead from control box = Positive, separate
long black lead = Negative) directly to the battery location. Ensure that the cable is
protected throughout its run from heat and abrasion against sharp components.
•
Connect the negative battery lead to the winch motor earth terminal (never use a
chassis earth).
•
Ensure that the small earth wire from the control box (this is the earth supply to
the contactor) is connected to the battery fed winch motor earth terminal. Do not
attempt to use a chassis earth.

•
In the case of the 13500lb winch, now connect the remaining cables from the control
box to the motor observing the colour-coded boots on the cable and corresponding
colour-coded collars on the motor terminals.
•
When you are satisfied that all other connections are correctly installed, connect the
long red power lead to the positive terminal of the battery via an isolator switch and the
overload cut out, if being used.
