Isolated Motor Ground
For non-grounded chassis applications
a jumper wire (#440315) is required to
ground the solenoid assembly.
WINCH MOUNTING
It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sec-
tions (the clutch housing end, the cable drum and the gear housing end) are properly
aligned.
All standard model DC-200 Series Winches are furnished with recommended mount-
ing angles. Angle size is 1/4 x 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 36” Lg. high strength (50,000 PSI yield)
steel angle.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See dimensional drawing on page 18. Using a power cable with appropriate end
terminals, connect the positive (+) battery terminal to the 5/16” dia. stud on the plastic
solenoid cover on the winch. In applications where the chassis is non-grounded, a
jumper wire (#440315) will be required between the winch and the motor ground. This
ground is required to insure a suffi cient ground to operate the solenoid assembly (see
diagram below).
IMPORTANT: hold inner nut on stud with a wrench while tightening outer nut. Using a
ground cable with appropriate end terminals, connect the negative(-) battery terminal
to the motor isolated ground terminal.
