Page 10: Electrical
12 Volt Systems using 12v motors and solenoids The GP100 winch requires a heavy 12v feed using a minimum of 50mm² cable. This needs to be connected to the red M8 terminal on the rear contactor and preferably via a large 250amp (continuous) cut off switch (see picture below). - Page 11 Never stall your winch and always make sure your kill switch is easily accessible. Caution - Electrical systems are only as good as their connections. Use high quality cables and battery terminals. Gigglepin can supply a large range of components and premade cables for any winch install.
