General Installation
The winch shown in this owners manual is solely
and exclusively designed for ATV mounted, non-

void warranty.
Install Winch and Mounting Kit according to
instructions supplied with Mounting Kit. Install
winch and roller fairlead to mounting kit using
hardware supplied with winch. Tighten mounting
bolts to 34 ft-lbs torque.
It is very important that the winch be mount-
ed on a flat surface, with the cable feeding

Toggle Switch Installation
Do not attach motor and battery leads until
instructed to do so.
Before beginning Installation:
• Disengage winch clutch.
• Locate and mark mounting location for
toggle switch.
1. Route red, yellow, and green wires from sole-
noid to toggle switch location. Make sure that
wires are not drawn taut against any surfaces
that might damage them.
2. Drill 1/2” hole in location for toggle switch.
3. Insert switch through hole.
4. Place directional plate over switch and secure
using knurled nut. Using wrench, tighten
backup nut securely against surface where
hole was drilled. Make sure directional plate
is installed in the same direction as the toggle
switch movement.
5. Place rubber boot over switch and tighten
securely.
6. Connect red wire to center spade on toggle
switch. Connect green wire to the toggle
switch terminal in the “OUT” position.
Connect the yellow wire to the toggle switch
terminal position in the “IN” position.
When finished, connect the Red battery lead from
the solenoid to the Positive (+) terminal of the
vehicle battery. Connect the Black battery lead to
the Negative (-) terminal.
Free-spool a length of cable from the winch.
Engage the clutch, and operate the toggle switch
in the IN and OUT direction and confirm that the
winch operates correctly.
If the winch spools cable in the opposite direction
from what is indicated on the directional plate,
reverse the yellow and green wires.
Remote Control Switch Installation
Connect the Red battery lead from the solenoid to
the Positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery.
Connect the Black battery lead to the Negative (-)
terminal.
For some mounting kits, it may be necessary to
alter the remote control switch’s plug by cutting
off one of the pull tabs. Do not alter the plug
until you confirm that it is necessary. See the
diagram below.
