SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
WARNING
Always stand
clear, keep
hands clear,
keep others
away.
SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
The operator should always
operate the winch from a safe
position when pulling a load. The
safe areas are: (1) Perpendicular
to the rope, (2) Inside the vehicle
with the hood up (if winch is
mounted on front of vehicle).
These safe positions will help
prevent the rope from striking the
operator if the rope fails when
under load.
Operate winch from the fully
extended remote control cord
length whenever possible. The
operator must always be at least
8 ft. (2.44 m) from the winch
while operating. This will prevent
entanglement with the fairlead and
keep the operator out of harms
way during winch load pulling.
Never work around the rope
while under load.
Sound Emissions
The winch is designed so
that the sound emissions do not
exceed 70 dBa from the operator’s
station. The operator must be
at least 8 ft. (2.44 m) from the
winch while operating. If the winch
is exceeding 70 dBa from the
operator’s station, have the winch
inspected at an authorized service
center.
Cleaning
Use low pressure water to
clean synthetic rope. Do not use
any chemicals.
Do not direct high pressure
water (pressure washers, car
washes, etc.) between the drum
support and drum fl ange or clutch
lever.
Use low pressure water and a
soapy rag or sponge to clean the
winch.
Avoid using chemicals that
may damage the fi nish.
Thoroughly clean salt residue
from the winch as soon as possible
to minimize corrosion.
Maintenance
Replace rope every 12 months
with WARN rope P/N 71717.
No lubrication is required for
the life of the winch unless the
winch has been submerged in
water. If this occurs, a qualifi ed
service center must complete
service as soon as possible to
prevent corrosion damage. If the
control pack is submerged, it must
be replaced when the winch is
serviced.
Check battery cables and
electrical connections at 90 day
intervals to be certain they are
clean and tight at all connection
points.
Inspect the rope before and
after each winching operation.
When damaged, replace with the
size specifi ed in the Replacement
Parts List, or go to the Warn
website at www.warn.com.
The rope must always spool
onto the drum as indicated by the
drum rotation decal on the winch.
WARNING
A lways require
operators and
bystanders to be
aware of vehicle
and or load.
NOTICE
Never submerge
winch in water.
CAUTION
Never leave
remote control
where it can be
activated during
free spooling,
rigging, or when
the winch is not
being used.

MOUNTING WINCH
MOUNTING WINCH
Choose a mounting location
that is suffi ciently strong enough
to withstand the loads you intend
to winch. Only the mounting
orientations shown are possible for
safe winching operation. All others
are improper and inappropriate.
The use of recommended bolt
and lock washer combinations
torqued to recommended levels will
prevent vibration during operation.
The mounting details indicate the
proper torque levels.
Remember the winch rope
must always spool onto the drum
as indicated by the drum rotation
decal.
Refer to the following
diagrams for proper mounting
orientation.
WARNING
Never use bolts
that are too long.
Mounting Details:
(1) Smooth and fl at, thickness = 1/4” (6.4 mm)
(2) 3/8” (9.525 mm) lockwasher X 4
(3) 3/8-16 X 1 1/4” long, grade 5 bolt X 4
Torque 30-35 ft. lbs. (41-47Nm)
(4) 1/2-13 Locknut
(5) 1/2 Flat washer
(6) 3/8-16 Sq. nut
(7) 1/2-13x2” button head bolt
(8) Aluminum Fairlead
Control Pack Installation
Mount the control pack
according to the instructions
included in the WARN mounting
system kit. Use the bracket
included in the kit. To mount the
control pack directly to the winch,
order control pack bracket part
number 26368.
The control pack mounting
fasteners may also be moved to
the unused holes in the control
pack base plate for additional
mounting fl exibility.
Mounting Bolt Pattern:
6” x 4.5”, 152.4 mm x 114.3 mm
WARNING
Always choose
a mounting
location that is
suffi ciently strong
to withstand the
maximum pulling
capacity of your
winch.
WARNING
Always complete
the winch
installation and
attach the hook
before installing
the wiring.
