TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM EXpLOSION
DUE TO SpARKING AT THE BATTERy cONNEcTION:
Disconnect the Battery cables before making other wiring connections.
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM LEAKING BATTERy AcID:
Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.
Only use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of
the vehicle where the winch will be mounted,
or used, to the battery. This route must be
secure, out of the way of moving parts, road
debris, or any possibility of being damaged
by operation or maintenance of the vehicle.
For example, you may wish to route the wires
under the vehicle, attaching it to the frame using
suitable fasteners. Do not attach the wires to
the exhaust system, drive shaft, emergency
brake cable, fuel line, or any other components
which may create damage the wiring through
heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part
of the body to route the wires, be sure
to install a rubber grommet in the hole to
prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
3. Route the Cables from the Solenoid to the battery
and from the Solenoid to the Winch, following the
precautions discussed earlier. See Figure E.

4. Attach the wires from the solenoid
to the terminals on the Winch.
5. Attach the Circuit Breaker to the
Positive Terminal on the battery.
preparing the Wire Rope
1. The wire rope must be properly coiled under tension
to be able to support a load without damage.
2. Uncoil the wire rope, except for 5 full wraps.

6. Attach the red Battery Cable to the Circuit Breaker.
7. Attach the black Battery Cable directly to
the negative terminal of the battery.
8. Wire in the Switch Controller
(and Socket Lead, if equipped)
according to the diagrams on the facing page.
9. The cable leading from the Switch Controller
has a red wire extending out from its side.
Connect this to an ignition circuit
(switched by the vehicle's key) to help prevent
accidental starting. The winch will not operate
if that wire is not properly connected.
a. Use a circuit tester to find a wire that energizes
when the vehicle's key is turned to on, and
turns off when the key is turned to off.
b. That is an ignition controlled wire.
c. Connect wire shown in Figure F to that wire.

Note: If not attaching the winch to a
vehicle, attach the ignition wire to the
positive battery terminal.
IF THIS IS NOT DONE,
THE WINcH WILL NOT OpERATE.
Note: The attachment of the Motor Cables
determines the operation of the Controller's button.
After the unit is mounted and powered,
check the direction of the Power In and Power Out on
the Controller button. If you wish to change the direction
on the Controller, disconnect the Battery Cables from
the battery, switch the Motor Cable connections on the
Motor Assembly, then reconnect the Battery Cables.
3. Recoil the wire rope back into the winch
under at least 500 lb. of tension.
