battery and winch. Switch and Solenoid can
be removed and discarded.
2. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable
from battery. Turn off vehicle ignition.
3. Disengage winch clutch.
4. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for
easier access to installation area.
5. Locate and mark mounting location for
Solenoid Assembly.
6. Locate accessory wire from vehicle ignition
switch that is powered only when ignition is
ON. Use this wire when splicing to Red wire
on Rocker switch.
7. Make sure locations are close enough for
wiring connections to be made without making alterations to wire lengths.

Solenoid Mounting: Choose a mounting
location that will remain protected and dry
(The best location will usually be where the
Solenoid for the Remote Switch was located.) Solenoid must be mounted within 24” of
winch motor. Solenoid should be mounted
on a flat surface.
Installing the Solenoid
1. Use Solenoid Assembly as a guide to
mark and drill (2) 7/32” holes in location
determined for solenoid OR if there is no
good place to drill holes for mounting,
use the tube clamps (item #1-16).
2. Use (2) 3/4” long #10 screws (item #1-
5), (2) #10 flat washers (item #1-8),
and (2) #10 zinc locknuts (item #1-10)
to mount solenoid. Tighten to 60 in-lbs
(7 Nm) torque.
Installing the Rocker Switch
For clarification, see wiring schematic on
page 2.
1. Install green Wire Connector (item #1-
14) to green wire on Rocker Switch (item
#2) and black Wire Connector (item #1-
15) to black wire on Rocker Switch, as
shown at right.
2. The Rocker Switch assembly (item #2)
will be assembled with the two halves of
the housing already attached. Install the
Mounting Bracket (item #1-2) using (2)
#6 screws (item #1-4) and shake-proof
washers (item #1-7). See figure at right.
Tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
