Wireless Remote Control
Installation and Operation
If your winch includes a Wireless Remote Control,
refer to pages 2-4 of Wireless Remote Control
Installation Instructions for instructions for installing
the solenoid, receiver, antenna, and toggle switch.
Install the Wireless Remote Control before the
Rocker Switch, if using both.
Refer to page 6 of Wireless Remote Control
Installation Instructions for remote operation notes.
Caution: When the transmitter reaches a tem-
perature below 0°F (-18°C) it will not operate. In
extremely cold temperatures, keep transmitter
in a pocket of innermost layer of clothing when
not in use.
The transmitter has push buttons labeled according
to their function. Make sure the motor has stopped
fully before reversing to prevent premature sole-
noid failure. To operate the winch hold “ON/OFF”
button for 2 seconds to activate the “IN and “OUT”
functions. Run winch forward and reverse to check
connection and to verify winch operating directions.
The transmitter is clearly labeled and a red LED
flashes when the winch is in operation. Pushing
both buttons at the same time will not damage your
winch in any way.
Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button on the trans-
mitter to disable the transmitter when winch is not
in use. This will prolong the battery life of the trans-
mitter. The transmitter automatically turns off after
20 minutes.
Rocker Switch Operation
Press Rocker Switch toward “IN” position to spool
cable “IN” and press Rocker Switch toward “OUT”
position to spool cable “OUT”.
Rocker Switch Installation
Before Beginning Installation
1. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from
battery. Turn off vehicle ignition. Disengage
winch clutch.
2. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for easi-
er access to installation area.
3. Locate and mark mounting location for Solenoid
Assembly. Choose a mounting location that will
remain protected and dry. Solenoid must be
mounted within 24” of winch motor. Solenoid
should be mounted on a flat surface.
4. Locate accessory wire from vehicle ignition
switch that is powered only when ignition is
ON. Use this wire when splicing to Red wire on
Rocker switch.
5. Make sure locations are close enough for wiring
connections to be made without making altera-
tions to wire lengths.

Installing the Solenoid
(If installing Wireless Remote, install solenoid
according to instructions in Wireless Remote
Installation Instructions)
1. Either use Solenoid Assembly as a guide to
mark and drill (2) 7/32” holes in location deter-
mined for solenoid or use Tube clamps (item
#18-15) to mount it.
2. Use (2) 3/4” long #10 screws (item #18-11), (2)
#10 flat washers (item #18-16), and (2) #10 zinc
locknuts (item #18-4) to mount solenoid. Tighten
