Unpacking Your Winch

Unpack your new Mile Marker winch and ensure that all the parts are included by referring to parts list and exploded view drawings provided in this manual.
NOTE: If you find any missing or broken parts, please call Mile Marker as soon as possible at the number present on the front page of this manual.

Winch Mounting

NOTE: Mile Marker recommends the use of its mounting systems for proper winch installation and optimum winch performance. However, when
not using Mile Marker Mounting System, ensure that the mounting platform is strong enough to meet the maximum rated load of the winch in use.
Mile Marker recommends steel plates with thickness of at least 0.25".
Your winch should be aligned and secured to a solid part of the vehicle (front or rear) where the full rated load will be evenly distributed.
CAUTION: It is essential that the mounting surface be flat and the winch is mounted such that the three major sections (Gear housing end,
drum and motor end) are in proper alignment.
1. Drill four mounting holes (10mm in Dia.), if necessary, according to the bolt pattern mentioned in the winch specifications.
2. Fasten the winch body to the mounting platform using the four Capscrews (M10 X 34mm) and Nuts (M10) provided.
3. Torque the Capscrews to about 35 ft-lb (47.5 N-m).
4. All Mile Marker Mounting Systems come predrilled with fairlead holes. If you are using any other mounting platforms, drill two holes for the
roller fairlead installation. Position the holes such that the fairlead opening hole stretches from the circumference of the drum to the end of
the maximum permissible layers on the drum in the direction cable is being rolled.
CAUTION: When replacing the capscrews or when longer bolts are required, make sure that you use bolts of Grade 5 or greater.
NOTE: Must have a 34 Series Valve Adapter Kit to complete assembly.
Kit includes:
• 12 ft. lead remote control
• All hoses and fittings
• Power in and power out
• Remote solenoid activated control valve draws only two amps
• Uses existing power steering pump as hydraulic power source
CABLE MUST SPOOL OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE DRUM
NOTE: Please attach hand control box to the top motor bolt on the winch assembly.
