Your 3500lb winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of winch.
Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for the most popular
ATV's and mounting plates. It is not guaranteed that this plate will fit onto your particular
ATV/UTV. Check with your reseller for a more accurate fitting mounting plate. If you will
utilize the mounting plate you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the
three major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.
Start by connecting the roller fairlead (part #3 ) to the mounting plate (part #2) using 2
each of the cap screw m8 x 20, flat washer, lock washer and securing with a nut m8
(make sure the screw is placed through the mounting plate and roller fairlead from
inside the plate. this will allow enough clearance for the winch to be placed in the plate
without obstruction.)
Assemble the winch to the mounting plate (part #2) by first pulling and releasing the
clutch knob to "off" position (free spooling). pull out a few inches of cable from the drum
and feed the wire loop through the opening in the front of the mounting plate and roller
fairlead. Now, using the remaining m8 x 15 cap screws and lock washers secure the
winch to the mounting plate.
Connect the battery and motor leads as the previous drawing.
!
CAUTION – Batteries contain gases which are flammable and explosive. Wear eye
protection during installation and remove all jewelry. Do not lean over battery while
making connections.
Assemble the clevis hook to the cable. take off the pin from the clevis hook, connect the
clevis hook to the cable and mount the pin back to the clevis hook.
Always use the Hand Saver when free-spooling and re-spooling the wire rope. Using the
Hand Saver keeps your hands and fingers away from the rotating drum.
Check for proper drum rotation. Pull and turn the clutch knob to the "off" position (Free-
spooling). Pull out some cable from the drum, and then turn the clutch knob to the "In"
position to engage the gears. Press the cable out button on the power switch. If the
drum is turning and releasing more cable then your connections are accurate. If the
drum is turning and collecting more cable then reverse the leads on the motor. Repeat
and check rotation.
