To mount Solenoid Assembly, use included
Solenoid Mounting bracket. Attach bracket to tie
bar using (1) 1/4-20NC x 1” capscrew in place of
the 3/4” tie bar capscrew. Install bracket to back of
solenoid using included nuts and lockwashers.

Solenoid can also be mounted remotely next to
winch. Refer to mounting information on page 6.

When mounting winch, connect labeled motor
leads coming from solenoid assembly to appropri-
ately marked motor terminals as shown at lower
right. Tighten nuts on motor terminals securely.
Attach solenoid ground wire to ground bolt located
on bottom of motor (Battery ground wire is already
installed to grounding bolt on motor).

Electrical Connections and Operations

For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical
system is adequate. Your battery must be kept in good
condition. A fully charged battery and proper connec-
tions are essential. Run the vehicle engine during
winching operations to keep battery charged.

Route battery cables up to battery.

Connect red cable to positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect black ground cable to negative (-) terminal of
battery.
