UNPACKING

When unpacking, check to make sure all parts are included. Refer to Assembly
Drawings and Parts List (both with the like item numbers) at the end of this manual.

INSTALLATION

1. Your winch is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of winch.
Many winch mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for the most
popular vehicle and mounting channels. If you cannot find a kit locally, contact us
and we will provide you with the name of a dealer near you. If you will utilize the
mounting channel you must ensure that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the
three major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper
alignment of the winch will allow even distribution of the full rated load.

2. Start by connecting the roller fairlead to the mounting channel using 2 each of the
cap screw, flat washer, lock washer and securing with nut). (Make sure the screw is
placed through the mounting channel and roller fairlead from inside the channel.
