ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4,
REFER TO THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
FOR THE WINCH BEFORE MAKING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
1. Connect the wires in the drawbar to the winch
terminals, securing red to positive and black to
negative. See figure 7.
NOTE: tf the winch terminals are not marked positive
and negative, you will need to check the direction
of rotation after you complete the wiring hookup.
Reverse the winch hookup if the cable winds in
when it should wind out.
2. Connect the trailer to the vehicle hitch using the
trailer hitch pin and a hair cotter pin.
.
Connect the wire harness to the vehicle battery.
Secure the red wire to the positive terminal and
the black wire to the negative terminal. See figure

Route the wire harness from the battery to the
rear of the vehicle. Be sure the wires are clear
of any moving parts, hot engine parts, or pinch
points. Attach a clip to the quick connector on
the wire harness using a #6 x 3/4" screw and a
nylock nut. Clip the quick connector to the rear
rack. See figure 8.
NOTE: The reclosable straps can be used instead
of the clips for attaching the switch and quick
connector to the vehicle.
5. Attach a clip to the switch using a #8 x 3/8"
screw. The switch can be attached at the front
or rear of the vehicle.
6. Connect the quick connectors for the switch
and the wire harness.
7, Check the direction of winch rotation. The cable
should unwind when the "rope out" button is
pushed. If the cable winds onto the winch in-
stead of unwinding, check the battery harness.
Red should connect to positive and black to
negative. If the wire harness is correct, reverse
the wires connected to the winch.
