tubing. There is an additional cost associated with this part, just call us for
details.
4. Now the power wires can be run. Take the long set of red/black power wires and
attach the red wire to the winch’s red terminal and the black wire to the silver
terminal. Keep the wire away from moving suspension parts. We left wire loose
as we went down the upper frame. When fastening any wire where moisture
could cause problems put dielectric tune-up grease (Permatex 22058 from
NAPA) on all connections. Also if you want extra vibration protection Napa has
plastic split tube conduct that can also be installed over the wire after it has been
routed through the frame. Connecting the wire to the contactor, you will want the
red wire attached to the red nut on winch motor to go to the blue terminal on
contactor. (Blue is painted on top of contactor terminal). The black wire attached
to the silver terminal on winch goes to the yellow terminal on contactor. If you get
this wiring backwards this will not damage anything, the control switch on
handlebars will just work in reverse.
5. Next run the power wires from the battery into the compartment or location you
have chosen for your contactor. The red wire goes to the positive terminal on the
battery and the red terminal on the contactor. The black wire goes negative
terminal on the battery and the black terminal on contactor. We didn’t attach the
red wire until all the rest of the wiring was complete. Caution! It is easier to
reverse the polarity at the battery then you would think and that can cause
damage to your voltage regulator, contactor, and can start fires. The battery is
capable of supplying a lot of current even to a short.
6. The last of the wiring is to mount and wire in the control switch on the handle
bars. We wrapped a couple wraps of electrical back tape on the handle bars
before we clamped the switch down. Remove the center plastic cover that holds
the key switch. The cover for the screws pops off with a flat blade screw driver.
Remove the two screws with a Phillips screw driver. Pull up on the cover
exposing the rear underneath the key switch. Route the control wiring down the
vertical wiring harness and join up with the power cable on left side of cowling.
Keep the red wire that hangs out near the back of key switch. Route the control
wire down to the power wire and follow the power wire back to the contactor
location. Fasten the green wire to the green wire on contactor and black wire to
the black wire on the contactor. (The connectors are gender specific and can’t be
reversed.)
7. The red switch control wire is the next item, which often raises some questions.
The red control wire hanging out of the control cable near the switch goes to the
switch 12 volts on the ATV. Some ATV’s will have an accessory wire provided
and it is spelled out in the owner’s manual. The wire will be fused for it. The wires
can be many different colors. You could also call a Bombardier Service Center &
they will give you the location and color wire for winch control switch 12 volts
