Installation Safety:
• Always choose a mounting location that is
suffi ciently strong to withstand the maximum pulling
capacity of your winch.
• Always use grade 5 (grade 8.8 metric) or better
hardware.
• Never weld mounting bolts.
• Always use factory approved mounting hardware,
components, and accessories.
