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.
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 support the rated pulling force of the winch.
DO NOT DRILL INTO OR NEAR WIRING OR GAS TANK!

Winch Mounting

1-1: Mounting Points used in this installation: (A) Winch and Mount, (B) Under Seat Control
Box Mounting, (C) Handlebar Pendant Mount, (D) Remote Pendant Receiver Location
1. Install the mounting kit or prepare a flat and secure location 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 operation 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 chosen 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.

GETTING STARTED

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. 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.
