Electrical Schematic
Electrical Connections and
Operations
For normal self-recovery work, your exist-
ing electrical system is adequate. Your bat-
tery should be kept in good condition. A fully
charged battery and proper connections are
essential. Run the ATV engine during winch-
ing operations to keep battery charged.
The solenoid assembly controls the direc-
tion of cable drum rotation. Route red and
black battery cables up to battery. CAUTION:
BE SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT
DRAWN TAUT ACROSS ANY SURFACES
WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE THEM.
1. As shown on the schematic above, connect
the red battery lead to the positive (+) termi-
nal of the ATV battery.
2. Connect the black battery lead to the nega-
tive (-) terminal of the ATV battery.
3. Connect the black motor lead to the #2 pole
of the motor.
4. Connect the black with yellow stripe motor
lead to the #1 pole of the motor.
5. The remote switch plugs into the receptacle
on the solenoid cover.
After the winch is installed and connected, run
the winch forward and reverse to check con-
nection and determine winch operating direc-
tions. Snap appropriate “IN” and “OUT” disc
into proper thumb cavity. The switch is color
coded (Red and White) to aid you in not hav-
ing to guess which direction your winch will
run in.
The remote control switch is waterproof. It
has push button stations on either side. It
is designed this way to prevent quick winch
reversals which can lead to solenoid failure.
Make sure the motor has stopped fully before
reversing.
To actuate winch, simply plug the remote con-
trol switch into the receptacle in the solenoid
cover. DO NOT LEAVE SWITCH PLUGGED
IN WHEN WINCH IS NOT IN USE.
