Winch Mounting and Cable Attachment
 The winch is designed to be attached to a mounting plate or structure capable of supporting the
load that is intended to pull (lift). Mounting location and hardware must support your winch and
load.
 For maximum strength and safety, this winch should be mounted with three 3 ⁄8" or M10 bolts,
washers, and lock washers (not included, sold separately). The bolt should attach the winch to the
mounting structure utilizing the outside rear holes or slots. The third bolt should be inserted
through the winch frame and mounting structure in a manner to utilize the foremost remaining
frame slot (hole).
 Select a winch line with breaking strength at least 1-1 ⁄2 times the winch rating and a hook 1-1 ⁄2
times stronger than the line.
 CABLE REPLACEMENT: Use extreme care when replacing cable, it is secured under tension by
the cable clamp, and may spring back forcefully.
