Installation

Installation
This KFI 5,000 lb 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 UTV's. You can find most of the
ATV/UTV winch mounts on our Website
www.kfiproducts.com

Step 1-Mount the Winch

WARNING
Before you start to install this winch,
disconnect the vehicle ground and positive
leads from the battery.
1. Install the winch and fairlead with the
supplied hardware per the instructions
provided with the model specific mounting
kit or prepare a flat, secure mounting
location for the winch.
NOTE
If you chose not to use a model specific
mounting kit, you will need to drill holes in the
structural support of the vehicle. Be certain
that your structural support will stand up to the
pulling forces of this winch.
CAUTION
Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 17 ft. lbs.
2. Attach the winch using the M8 x 25 or 30
bolts and washers through the fairlead
bracket or model specific mount and then
into the winch.
3. Disengage the clutch by rotating the clutch
cap to the "RELEASE" position. Release
the synthetic rope and pull through the roller
fairlead.
4. Attach the clevis hook and hand strap to the
cable.

Step 2-Mount the Contactor

1. Find a location for the contactor.
Model specific mounting kit does not indicate
a recommended contactor location, then
it is recommended that the contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean dry
6
location. Make sure the location you chose
allows sufficient clearance from all metal
components. Drill mounting holes if required.
Once location is found do not install until all
wiring is completed.
Step 3-UTV Dash Mounted

Rocker Switch Kit

1. Most UTV's and SxS's have predefined
switch locations that are pre-scribed or
marked for mounting and require finish cut
with a knife.
2. Use the cut-out dimensions shown below
to cut-out the switch location If your dash
doesn't have the pre-scribed areas
3. Once your switch is mounted you can route
the wires back to where your contactor is
located.
4. Splice the end of the red wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the
supplied wire splice. You may need to use a
test light to locate a suitable wire. The wire
should only have power when the key is in
the ON position.
