The following instructions are for permanently wiring the winch. Two additional wiring
kits are available and sold separately: A universal bumper wiring kit (p/n P7702101AJ)
and a quick connect wiring harness (p/n P7866000AJ) for temporary connections. If
installing one of the kits, follow the directions with the kit.
1. Slip the boot and cover over the end of the wire cable.
2. Strip approximately 3/8” of insulation from the red and black wires.
3. Attach the wires to the plug. The red wire goes to the gold terminal, the black wire
goes to the silver terminal.
4. Screw the cover onto the plug and slip the boot over the cover.
5. Attach the circuit breaker to the battery's POSITIVE (+) post or positive (+) terminal of
the starter solenoid.
6. Attach the ground wire (black) to the vehicle frame. Clean the metal frame with a
wire brush or equivalent then attach the ground lug using a 5/16" bolt and lock nut
(bolt and nut not furnished).
7. Route the wire under the vehicle and along the frame. Avoid sharp edges and
moving parts. Secure the wire to the frame approximately every 18" using nylon
ties or equivalent.
