Clocking Instructions
Winch gear housing can be clocked in 12 ways en-
abling the user to position the clutch lever at 12
equidistant locations (0°, 30°, 60°....360°). Undo
the 11 bolts (item # 10, M5X5.5) on the gear hous-
ing. Rotate the gear housing to any one of the above
position so that all holes align. Secure the gear side

Winch Mounting

NOTE: Mile Marker recommends the use of its mount-
ing kits for proper winch installation and optimum
winch performance. However, when not using Mile
Marker Universal Mount, ensure that the mounting
platform is strong enough to meet the maximum
rated load of the winch in use. Mile Marker recom-
mends steel plates with thickness of at least 0.25".
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.), where
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 Channels come with
fairlead holes. If you are using any other mounting
platforms, drill two holes for the roller fairlead in-
stallation. 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.
