Installing the Rocker Switch
For clarification, see wiring schematic on
page 1.
1. Install green Wire Connector (item #1-
12) to green wire on Rocker Switch (item
#2) and black Wire Connector (item #1-
13) 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 below.
Tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
3. Install (2) Handle Bar Clamps (item #1-
3) around ATV handle bars at a convenient location. Use a 3/4” long #10 screw
(item #1-5) and #10 locknut (item #1-
9) to secure them. See figures below and
at right. Secure loosely, do not tighten.
4. Install the Mounting Arm (item #1-1) to
the Handle Bar Clamps using a 7/8” long
#10 screw (item #1-6), shake-proof
washer (item #1-8), and locknut (item
#1-9). Install the shake-proof washer
between the handle bar clamps and the
mounting arm. See figures below. Do not
tighten.
5. Install the Mounting Bracket (with rocker
switch attached) to the Mounting Arm
Bracket using a 3/4” long #10 screw,
shake-proof washer, and locknut. Install
the shake-proof washer between the
mounting arm bracket and the mounting
bracket.

6. Tighten all screws for the handle
bar clamps and mounting brackets
securely, positioning the rocker
switch as desired.
7. Route the Rocker Switch wire
down the handle bars to where the
solenoid is installed. Turn the handle bars fully right and left to
ensure enough slack in the wire.
Make sure wire is not drawn taut
across any surface that could
damage it. Use cable ties to
anchor wire. Do not connect wires
to solenoid yet.
8. Push ATV Accessory wire and red
wire from switch into plastic splice
(item #1-10). Fold splice clip over
itself and snap closed.
Finish Installation
1. Unplug spade connectors from solenoid.
Connect black wire from switch into right
terminal (terminal above black with yellow stripe motor lead). Connect green
wire from switch into left terminal (terminal above black motor lead).
2. Plug the spade connectors for the existing wireless remote into the “piggyback”
plugs above the switch wires. Plug the
yellow wire above the black switch wire
and the green wire above the green
switch wire. See below.
3. Confirm that winch clutch is disengaged.
4. Connect negative (-) battery cable to
vehicle battery. Connect Black Battery
Lead from winch to negative (-) vehicle
battery terminal.
5. With ignition switch OFF, press Rocker
switch to “OUT”—winch should not
operate. If the winch does operate with
the ignition off, confirm that proper
accessory wire from ignition was spliced.
6. Spool a few feet of cable out by hand.
Engage winch clutch. Turn ignition switch
ON and press Rocker switch to “OUT”—
winch should spool cable out. If winch
does not operate with ignition on, check
wiring against the schematic on page 1.
7. If winch spools cable IN instead of OUT,
turn off ignition and reverse black and
green wires on solenoid.
