The Manual Switch can be mounted to either a
tube or a flat surface such as a fender.
Attach Mounting Plate and Insulator Plate to
Manual Switch (with wires attached) using (4)
1/2” long Phillips head screws included with the
Switch Assembly. The Insulator Plate goes
between the Mounting Plate and the Manual
Switch, centered with the switch base.
Hint: If you are mounting switch to flat surface,
mark mounting holes before assembling switch.
Tube Mount
Use (2) 1/4” u-bolts and (4) Nylok nuts to install
to a tube up to 1” diameter. Tighten to 30 in-lbs.
(3 Nm) torque. Do not overtighten. If over-
torqued, the mounting plate may warp and
affect switch operation.

Installing the Solenoid
1. Use Solenoid Assembly as a guide to mark

and drill (2) 5/16” holes in location deter-
mined for solenoid.

2. Use (2) 1” long 1/4” capscrews, (2) 1/4” flat

washers (as needed), and (2) 1/4” Nylok nuts
to mount solenoid. Tighten to 60 in-lbs (7
Nm) torque.

Finish Installation
1. Confirm that winch clutch is disengaged.
2. Connect negative battery cable to battery.

Connect Black Battery Lead (Item #12-2)
and Black Solenoid Ground wire (Item #12-
7) to negative (-) vehicle battery terminal.

3. With ignition switch OFF, turn Manual Switch

to “OUT” position—winch should not operate.
If the winch does operate with the ignition off,
confirm that proper accessory wire from igni-
tion was spliced.

4. Turn ignition switch ON and Manual Switch to

“OUT” position—winch should operate. If
winch does not operate with ignition and
Manual Switch ON, check wiring to the
schematic on page 12.

5. Spool a few feet of cable out by hand.

Engage clutch. Turn Manual Switch to “OUT”
position and confirm that cable spools out. If
cable spools in wrong direction, check wiring
against the schematic on page 12.
