Before Beginning Installation

1. Disconnect power lead from winch to battery.

2. Disengage winch clutch.

3. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for easier access to installation area.

4. Locate & mark mounting locations for receiver, toggle switch, solenoid assembly, & antenna.

NOTE: Make sure locations are close enough for wiring connections to be

made without making alterations to wire lengths. Solenoid assembly will be mounted to tube frame of ATV using supplied tube clamps, except for Polaris models which mount directly to the ATV crossmember under hood, using supplied mounting screws.

Antenna will need a space of at least 15” wide under cowling or hood for mounting in the horizontal configuration required for best reception. Antenna is flexible and will follow the contour of the cowling or hood. The antenna should be mounted at least 10” from winch motor and battery leads.

Installing the Receiver

1. Insert plastic tie through mounting ears on receiver and secure receiver to location determined above.

2. Tighten plastic tie and clip excess.

3. Attach ground wire to ATV frame.

CAUTION: Do not alter the length of the ground wire as this will affect performance of the remote.

4. Attach wiring harness to receiver & route yellow and green wires to solenoid location.

Installing the Ring Terminals

1. Remove rocker switch assembly from handlebar.

2. Disconnect wires from rocker switch.

3. Cut spade terminals off ends of battery and motor leads.

4. Slip rubber boots over ends of wires and install supplied ring terminals in place of spade connectors.

5. Route wires to location where solenoid will be mounted.

NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.

1. Attach black with yellow stripe motor lead to lower right terminal stud “B” on solenoid.

2. Attach black motor lead to lower left terminal stud “C” on solenoid.

3. Attach connector with 2 yellow wires to the terminal directly above the black with yellow stripe motor lead.

4. Attach connector with 2 green wires to the terminal directly above the black motor lead.

5. Attach black battery lead to upper left terminal stud “E” on solenoid.

6. Attach red battery lead to upper right stud “A” on solenoid.

Connecting Wiring to Solenoids

Installing the Solenoid

1. Mount solenoid in location determined previously.

2. Secure using (1) tube clamp, (1) #10-24 screw, (1) flat washer, and (1) lock nut each side of solenoid assembly.

CAUTION: Be sure that no wire connections are in contact with either the ATV frame or with each other as a direct short will occur.

Installing the Toggle Switch

1. Route red, yellow, and green wires to toggle switch location .

2. Drill 1/2” hole in location for toggle switch installation.

3. Insert switch through hole in drilled in previous step.

4. Place directional plate over switch and secure using hex nut. Make sure directional plate is installed in the same direction as the toggle switch operates.

5. Place rubber boot over switch and tighten securely.

251203 SUPERWINCH ATV 2000 & T 1500

NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.

1. Connect red wire to center spade.

2. Connect green wire to the toggle switch terminal in the “OUT” position.

3. Connect the yellow wire to the toggle switch terminal in the “IN” position.

1. Locate accessory wire from ATV ignition.

NOTE: Accessory wire should have 12 volts only when ignition key is on.

2. Cut spade connector off and connect red wire from receiver to accessory wire using supplied quick splice connector.

Wiring the Toggle Switch

Connecting the Power Lead

Installing the Antenna

NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.

1. Clean predetermined mounting surface with Isopropyl alcohol and buff dry. (In ATVs without hoods the best place to mount the antenna will be the underside of the ATV cowling in the highest possible position.)

2. Remove backing from top side of double-stick tape and apply to back side of pc board. Remove backing from other side of double-stick tape and position pc board in center at the predetermined mounting location on inside surface of cowling or hood.

3. Remove backing from copper tape. Carefully affix tape to terminal on right side of pc board and follow contour of inside of cowling. DO NOT ALTER LENGTH OF THE TAPE. Repeat for left side.

4. Route coax cable up from receiver to antenna and plug in at pc board.

1. Reconnect the positive power lead from solenoid to battery.

2. Pull approximately 20 ft of cable off the winch by hand.

3. Re-engage the winch clutch.

4. Test the remote transmitter. The transmitter has push buttons labeled according to their function. To turn the transmitter on, hold “ON/OFF” button down for 2 seconds. (LED will flash, 1 flash indicates transmitter is “ON”, 2 flashes indicate transmitter is “OFF”).

5. Run winch in the “OUT” direction briefly. Make sure the motor has stopped fully before reversing to prevent premature solenoid failure. Run winch in the “IN” direction briefly.

6. Follow instructions in your winch owner’s manual for properly reeling in the rest of the cable. The transmitter is clearly labeled and a red LED flashes when the winch is in operation. To turn transmitter off, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for 2 seconds to disable the transmitter when winch is not in use. This will prolong the battery life of the transmitter. The transmitter automatically turns off after 20 minutes.

PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER FOR USE WITH A REPLACEMENT TRANSMITTER

When you purchase a replacement transmitter, it will be necessary to reprogram your receiver to accept the code for the new transmitter. To reprogram the receiver, press and hold membrane located in the center of receiver face (area marked “PUSH”). Press and hold “ON/OFF” button on transmitter for 3 seconds. Press and hold “OUT” button for 3 seconds or until winch activates.

CAUTION: The center membrane area of the receiver face must only be pressed when programming a new transmitter.
