4. Install the Mounting Arm (item #16-7) to
the Handle Bar Clamps using a 7/8” long
#10 screw (item #16-10), shake-proof
washer (item #16-17), and locknut (item
#16-3). Install the shake-proof washer
between the handle bar clamps and the
mounting arm. Do not tighten.
5. Install the Mounting Bracket (with rocker
switch attached) to the Mounting Arm
Bracket using a 3/4” long #10 screw,
shake-proof washer, and locknut. Install
the shake-proof washer between the
mounting arm bracket and the mounting
bracket.
6. Tighten all screws for the handle bar
clamps and mounting brackets securely,
positioning the rocker switch as desired.
7. Route the Rocker Switch wire down the
handle bars to where the solenoid is
mounted. Turn the handle bars fully right
and left to ensure enough slack in the
wire. Make sure wire is not drawn taut
across any surface that could damage it.
Use cable ties to anchor wire. Do not
connect wires to solenoid yet.
8. Push ATV Accessory wire and red wire
from switch into plastic splice (item
#16-21). Fold splice clip over itself and
snap closed.

For clarification, see wiring schematics on
pages 8-9. If installing the Wireless Remote
Control, install the solenoid according to the
instructions in the Wireless Remote Control
Installation Instructions.
1. Connect Red Battery Lead between “A”
terminal on Solenoid and positive (+)
vehicle battery terminal.
2. Connect Black Motor Lead between #2
terminal on motor and C terminal on
solenoid. Connect Black w/Yellow Stripe
Motor Lead between #1 terminal on
motor and B terminal on solenoid.
3. Connect Black Battery Lead to “E” termi-
nal on Solenoid and route to negative (-)
vehicle battery terminal but do not con-
nect.
4. Plug black wire from switch into right ter-
minal (terminal above black with yellow
stripe motor lead). Plug Green wire from
switch into left terminal (terminal above
black motor lead). If the Wireless Remote
is installed, unplug the wires from the
solenoid, connect the switch wires, then
plug the wires from the wiring harness
into the “piggyback” connectors above
the switch wires.
Finish Installation
1. Confirm that winch clutch is disengaged.
2. Connect negative (-) battery cable to
vehicle battery. Connect Black Battery
Lead from winch to negative (-) vehicle
battery terminal.
3. With ignition switch OFF, press Rocker
switch to “OUT”—winch should not
operate. If the winch does operate with
the ignition off, confirm that proper
accessory wire from ignition was spliced.
4. Spool a few feet of cable out by hand.
Engage winch clutch. Turn ignition switch
ON and press Rocker switch to “OUT”—
winch should spool cable out. If winch
does not operate with ignition on, check
wiring against the schematic on pages 8-
9.
5. If winch spools cable IN instead of OUT,
turn off ignition and reverse black and
green wires on solenoid.
