MOUNTING THE WINCH

1. Particular care should be taken not to chamfer the
winch during installation, which may lead to permanent
damage.
2. The winch shall be mounted in a suitable place.
3. The power of the winch must be adapted to the vehicle,
mounting place and method.
4. Winch should be mounted on a sturdy steel frame using
a 4- or 8-point mounting system. The winch must be moun-
ted horizontally.
5. It is important to mount the winch on a flat surface that
is technologically adapted to support the winch.
6. A special mounting plate, suitably chosen to the winch
model is recommended. The higher pull power of the
winch, the thicker mounting plate must be used (e.g. for
12,000 lbs - the minimum plate thickness is 6mm). Original
bolts are adapted to the minimum thickness of the moun-
ting plate.
7. If a thicker plate is used the bolts should be replaced
with new ones of at least the same hardness and appro-
priate length, so that the screw fully extends out of the
nut.
