Mounting your winch
1. Mount the winch on the vehicle or other object using Screw M8 x 30, Lockwasher and
Washer-Flat offered. Other similar screws can be used instead.
Warning: The winch must be mounted with the wire rope in the underwind direction. Improper
mounting could damage your winch and void your warranty.
Attention! The winch must be mounted with the wire rope in the direction of the
wind. Incorrect installation can damage your winch and void the warranty.
2. Route the two couple of lines from the switch to the motor and battery respectively. Connect
the red line to the positive (+) terminal and the green (or black) line to the negative (-) terminal
of the 12V Battery. Connect the rest two lines to the terminal on the motor of the electric winch
