Step 2 - Mount the Contactor or Control Box
The contactor is a primary safety feature in your winch system. It disconnects your
winch fro m its power source when the ATV is not in use. The contactor must be correctly
installed to work properly.
It is recommended that the contactor be mounted close to the battery and in a location
that is as clean and dry as possible. Exact location will vary, depending on the ATV. Usual
locations include inside, on top, or on the side of rear storage box, and on a few models,
under the seat.
Ensure the contactor mounting location selected provides sufficient clearance from
all m etal struc tures such as frame tubes. Do NOT place tools or other items in a position
that might come in contact with the contactor directly.
Drill the mounting holes for the contactor at this time, then move on to step four as
it will be easier to attach all the wiring to the contactor before attaching it to the ATV.
Do NOT mount the contactor at this time.
NOTE: Install the control box
Mount the control box on winch.
Connect the short red cable marked M+ to the + terminal of the motor.
Connect the short black cable marked M- to the - terminal of the motor.
Connect the long red cable marked B+ to the + terminal of the battery.
Connect the long black cable marked B- to the - terminal of the battery.
