The winch MUST be properly secured to
a winch mount bumper or an approved
winch mount plate with the included
10mm nuts and bolts (qty 4/each). There
are machined pockets at each of the four
inside winch base corners that fit a flange

pocket and center the winch over the
mounting base holes. Tip: a touch of

Battery cables SHOULD NOT be drawn taut. Leave slack for some
cable movement. The battery cables SHOULD BE secure, out of
the way of moving parts, road debris, or any possibility of being
damaged by operation or maintenance of vehicle. For example,
the battery cables may be routed under the vehicle, attaching
them to the frame using suitable fasteners such as cable ties
(not included).
DO NOT attach Battery Cables to the exhaust system, drive shaft,
emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other components which
may cause damage to the battery cables through heat or motion,
or create a fire hazard. If a hole is drilled through the bumper or
any other part of the vehicle, make sure to install a rubber grom-
met (not included) in the hole to prevent fraying of the battery ca-
bles at that point. The use of at least a 650 Cold Cranking Amps
(CCA) battery is highly recommended.

winch installation, it is necessary to
completely remove and detach the winch
line and re-install it.
The winch hook is not removable and will
not fit through the hawse fairlead. There-
fore, the winch line needs to be threaded
through the fairlead and attached to the
drum once the winch and fairlead are
mounted to the vehicle. The winch line
must then be pre-tensioned.
Do NOT use winch line without pre-ten-
