To Connect The Electrical Wiring:

NOTICE: The use of an “Overload Protection Device” (circuit breaker) is highly recom- mended in order to protect the vehicle and its battery from damage in case of a winch failure/overload. A 50-amp circuit breaker (not included) should be purchased and in- stalled in a safe location as close to the vehicle’s battery as possible. The circuit breaker will be installed inline with the winch’s “20’ Lead Wire” (47) RED wire and the vehicle battery. Two (2) solderless, insulated, 12-10 AWG ring tongue terminals (not included) will also be needed to install the circuit breaker. The rings on the terminals will need to be big enough to fit on the battery terminal bolt.

1.NOTE: Depending on your level of knowledge regarding electrical wiring, you may wish to have this procedure performed by a qualified technician.

2.CAUTION: Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the vehicle engine is turned off. Make sure the vehicle transmission is in its “Park” position and emergency brake is on. Also, make sure the engine, transmission, and ex- haust system is cool to the touch.

3.To connect the wiring, plan a route for the Wire Harness Assembly (64) from the point of where the Winch will be mounted on the vehicle to the vehicle’s 12 Volt DC Battery. The route should 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, the Power Cord may be routed under the vehicle, attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners (not included). Do not attach the Power Cord to the ex- haust system, drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or any other compo- nents which may create damage to the Power Cord through heat or motion, or cre- ate a fire hazard. If a hole is drilled through the bumper or any other part of the vehicle, make sure to install a rubber grommet (not included) in the hole to prevent fraying of the wires at that point.

4.Route the Wire Harness Assembly (64), following the precautions discussed in Step 3. Once the Wire Harness Assembly (64) is routed to the Battery, attach the RED, color coded, Ring Electrical Connector to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the Battery.

(See Figure C.)

5.Attach the BLACK, color coded, Ring Electrical Connector to the NEGATIVE (–)terminal of the Battery. (See Figure C.)

6.WARNING: Never continue using the Winch until the vehicle’s 12 Volt DC Battery is run down. You may wish to keep the engine running while using the Winch to con- tinually recharge the Battery. However, make sure the vehicle is in “neutral”, the vehicle’s emergency brake has been set and, whenever possible, the vehicle’s wheels have been chocked. Do not use a dirty, corroded, or leaking Battery to avoid injury from possible acid burns. Always wear ANSI approved safety eye goggles when working with or around a Battery.

7.WARNING: Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, gas emitted from the engine’s exhaust that may KILL or cause serious personal INJURY when in- haled. Do not run the engine in an area without proper ventilation.
