assembly
Battery cables should not be drawn taut.
Leave some slack for cable movement.
CautIon
Never route electrical cables across any sharp
edges, through or near moving parts, or near
parts that become hot.
CautIon
1) Install solenoid/Contactor
Find a location for the contactor. If the model
specific mounting kit does not indicate a
recommended contactor location, then it is
recommended that the contactor be mounted
close to the battery in a clean dry location. Make
sure the location you chose allows sufficient
clearance from all metal components. Drill
mounting holes if required. Once location is
found do not install until all wiring is completed.
3) Wiring the Winch
1. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the motor
terminals on the winch. Torque the terminal nuts
on the motor to 5.7 N-m (50 lb-in). Route the
other ends to the contactor location.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the
contactor (yellow to yellow and blue to blue). Do
NOT tighten nuts.
3. Connect the red and black cables to your
contactor (red to red and black to black). Do
NOT tighten nuts. Route the other ends to your
battery location.
4. Connect the rocker switch to the contactor (black
to black and green to green).
5. Once all wiring is connected to the contactor
you can then mount it using the supplied M6
hardware.
6. Torque the contactor terminal nuts to 4.5 N-m
(40 lb-in). Do NOT over tighten.
7. Place all terminal boots over terminals and
secure all cables with cable ties or electrical
tape (not included).
8. Connect the battery leads from the contactor to
the ATV’s Battery (red to red and black to black).
2) Install rocker switch
1. Decide which handlebar the switch will be
mounted on. The switch is usually installed
on the left handlebar.
2. Use a piece of electrical tape around the
handlebar to help prevent rotation of the
mount on the handlebar. Do NOT tighten over
any hoses or cables.
3. Once your switch is mounted you can route
the wires back to where your contactor is
located.
4. Splice the end of the RED wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the
supplied wire tap. You may need to use a test
light to locate a suitable wire. The wire should
only have power when the key is in the ON
position.
5. Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the switch’s cable
with the supplied cable ties.
Depending on the location of the contactor,
you may need to use the black and red cables
in place of the yellow and blue, and the yellow
and blue in place of the red and black. Just
remember that this also changes the diagram.
