Winch Mounting and Cable Attachment
⚠WARNING
 Inspect before every use. Do not use if damaged or parts loose. Examine the winch for structural
cracks, bends, damage, frayed or kinked cable, and any other conditions that may affect the safe
operation of the winch.
 Do not use the winch even if minor damage appears. Keep cable straight to avoid kinking it. A
kink permanently weakens the cable, even after it is straightened out. Kinked cable can fail
suddenly and must not be used.
 Do not use a recovery strap while winching. They are designed to stretch and can suddenly whip
back towards the operator during a winching operation.
 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).
