For REAR battery ATV’s you have two
options:
Route the BLACK and GREEN wires all the

connect the wires.
Locate the BLACK and GREEN wire ends with
a white plastic connector (D) and (G) located
back by the contactor. Cut these connectors off
and wire in using correct electrical connections.

locate the BLUE and YELLOW wires (H)
in or near the battery Compartment. Connect
the Blue and Yellow wires to the contactor.
(Please refer to your winch’s wiring diagram)
Next locate the YELLOW and BLUE wires
(E) in the front of the ATV. Cut the zip ties
that hold the wires in place, route the wires to
the location of the winch leads. Remove the
Red protective coverings from the wire ends
and connect the cable to the appropriate lead
on the winch (please refer to your winch’s
wiring diagram). Finally use the shorter wires
