Wiring
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION
DUE TO SPARKING AT THE BATTERY CONNECTION:
Unplug the Remote Control Cable and disconnect the Battery Cables
before making other wiring connections.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM LEAKING BATTERY ACID:
Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.
Only use a 12 V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the
vehicle where the Winch will be mounted, or
used, to the battery. This route must be secure,
out of the way of moving parts, road debris, or
any possibility of being damaged by operation or
maintenance of the vehicle. For example, you
may wish to route the wires under the vehicle,
attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do
not attach the wires to the exhaust system, drive
shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other
components which may create damage to the wiring
through heat or motion, or create a fire hazard.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part
of the body to route the wires, be sure
to install a rubber grommet in the hole to
prevent fraying of the wires at that point.
3. Route the Cables from the Winch to the battery,
following the precautions discussed above.

4. Attach the 12" 2AWG Disconnect Switch Cable
to the positive terminal on the battery.
5. Attach the 12" 2AWG Cable from the battery
to either terminal on the Disconnect Switch.
6. Attach the red Battery Cable from the Winch to
the remaining terminal on the Disconnect Switch.
7. Attach the black Ground Cable and the Small Black
Wire to the terminal at the rear of the Winch.
8. Attach the black Ground Cable from the Winch
directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
9. Lift the Socket Cover exposing the Remote Control
socket and Wireless Receiver Switch. Connect
the Remote Control Cable to the socket and the
Remote for wired remote control. For wireless
control do not use the Remote Control Cable and
turn on the Wireless Receiver Switch. Refer to
Remote Control Instructions on page 12.
10. Turn on the Disconnect Switch and operate the
remote controls briefly to test Winch function
and drum rotation direction. If operation is
reversed, the Battery Cables may be connected
backwards. Correct any such issue before use.
