Mounting Options
When installing a winch, your installation may vary from
the manual diagrams and instructions included here due to
physical vehicle differences. Always disconnect the battery
from the vehicle to before starting installation.
If you choose NOT to use an ATV mounting kit
you may be required to drill holes in a structural support on
the ATV. Be sure the location will be strong enough to sup-
port the rated pulling force of the winch. DO NOT DRILL INTO
OR NEAR WIRING OR GAS TANK!

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 Mount-
ing System, ensure that the mounting platform is strong
enough to meet the maximum rated load of the winch in
use.
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 sec-
tions (Gear housing end, drum and motor end) are in proper
alignment.
1. Install the mounting kit or prepare a flat and secure loca-
tion on the ATV for the winch. The winch mount kit has it's
own instructions for the intended ATV.
2. Position the winch over the mount and check for opera-
tion of the clutch lever to frame clearance. Check for tire to
winch clearance. If ok, continue on to the next step.
3. Secure the winch to the mounting bracket or surface cho-
sen with the correct hardware.
NOTE:
Make sure the winch mounting bolts and winch
hardware has been checked for proper torque. Sometimes it
may be necessary to remove the cable from the winch drum
to install the mounting hardware or roller/hawse fairlead. All
Mile Marker Mounting Systems come fairlead ready. 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.
