Warning! Injury or death can occur if this Winch comes apart from its mounting location when it is under load. Electrical damage or fire may occur if the Winch is wired improp- erly. For these reasons, it should only be installed by a qualified technician.
1.After matching up the mounting holes, attach the Roller Fairlead (2w) to the Mounting Plate (46w) using the sup- plied M12 Bolts (43w), Nuts (44w), and Washers (45w).
