Important: Your Kolpin Auto-Winch Stop Kit is universally designed for your vehicle. Please read the installation
instructions thoroughly efore eginning. Installation is easier if the vehicle is clean and free of de ris. For your safety,
and to ensure a satisfactory installation, perform all installation steps correctly in the sequence shown. Additional time
may e required to accommodate other installed accessories.
Function of the Auto-Winch Stop Feature: The Auto-Winch Stop fairlead is an innovative solution making your
winch easier to use, especially when plowing. The hardest work your winch does is when it isn’t doing much work at all;
when your winch pulls the rope tight to get the last it of lift out of the plow or to tighten up the hook to prevent it from
rattling against the umper. As the winch pulls the hook against the fairlead it stresses the winch, rope, fairlead, and
vehicle frame. To help prevent damage to these components, Kolpin created a solution that stops the winch efore the
hook is pulled too far into the fairlead.
This auto-winch stop is only for use with synthetic rope, as a steel ca le would quickly wear and damage the aluminum
fairlead. If your vehicle is equipped with steel ca le, you will need to order a synthetic rope. For 4500 l . winch models,
order rope kit PN 85064; for 3500/2500 l . winch models, order rope kit PN 85065. When the ru er ump stop is
rought close to the fairlead, sensors inside the fairlead tell the control ox to turn the winch off. The winch will continue
to let rope out, ut the rope will not pull in any further.
