Mounting the Winch

1.The mounting plate must be rated to at least the winch’s capacity.

2.Align the winch perpendicular to the center line of the center line of the vehi-

cle at the desired location and mark the locations of the winch base holes. Com-

pare the dimensions of the marked holes.

3.Before drilling, verify that the installation surface has no hidden components

or structural pieces that will be damaged.

(Note: This winch can generate extreme forces. Select a location that can with-

stand the rated capacity without damage or weakening. Steel reinforcement

plates may be needed or a certified welder may need to weld on additional brac-

ing depending on the mounting location.)

4.Drill holes appropriate for the hardware at the marked locations.
