1.2.2 Easy Install System
Place the three 3/8", Gr. 5, carriage bolts
with the retaining washers in place, into the
"T" slot on the base of the winch.
Place winch over the mounting plate and
insert the bolts through the mounting holes
in the mounting surface of your winch stand.
Secure the flanged lock nuts to the
mounting bolts. Torque to 28-30 ft.-lbs. Be
sure that a minimum of two complete
threads show after tightening the flange lock
nuts. See figure 4.
1.2.3 Mounting Configurations
Wind the strap from the bottom of the drum.
See Figure 5.
WARNING
Failure to install the strap in the correct
under-wind condition may result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING
Failure to adequately align, support, or attach the winch to a suitable mounting base may result
in property damage, personal injury and/or death.
1.3 Hawse Fairlead
The use of a Hawse Fairlead can reduce the contacting friction with the strap. An aluminum hawse
fairlead is recommended because it has no sharp edges and resists wear damage more effectively
than a roller fairlead. The fairlead does not ensure the strap will wind onto the drum in an orderly
manner.
1.4 Wiring
1.4.1 Install the Wiring
WARNING
BEFORE installing the winch, make sure all electrical parts are corrosion free.
NEVER lean over battery while making connections.
NEVER route electrical cables over battery terminals.
Run the charging system (if installed) during winching operations to keep battery charged.
NEVER route electrical cables across sharp edges.
NEVER route electrical cables near parts that get hot.
NEVER route electrical cables through or near moving parts.
ALWAYS avoid pinch and wear/abrasion points when installing all
electrical cables.
ALWAYS insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.
