ASSEMBLY
Assembling the Winch
This CPE 4500 lb. (2041 kg) 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
trucks, UTVs and ATVs. If you cannot find a kit
locally, contact CPE and we will provide you with
the name of a dealer.
1. Insert M10x20 bolts through the mounting
channel holes and attach the roller fairlead
to the mounting channel with the M10 lock
washers and M10 nuts provided.
Mounting bolts must be SAE grade 5 or better
and torque to 34 ft. lbs.
CAUTION
2. Turn the winch upside down. Place the
mounting channel on the winch, making sure
the winch is centered in the middle of it.
3. Thread the M8x25 bolts through the M8
flat and lockers washers, and then thread
through the mounting channel. Tighten the
bolts. DO NOT over tighten.
4. Turn winch right side up. Disengage the
clutch by moving the Cam Ring to the “Out”
position. Release the wire rope and pull
through the roller fairlead.
5. Attach the clevis hook to the cable, and then
hand strap to the clevis hook.
Installing the Antenna (Wireless Use Only)
1. Determine the mounting location.
2. If mounting on a flat surface, mark and drill a
minimum of two (2) mounting holes, one (1)
on each side of the antenna. Loosely attach
the antenna using the supplied bolts and lock
nuts. Do NOT tighten fasteners at this time.
3. If mounting on a frame tube, loosely attach
using the supplied cable ties.
Solenoid/Contactor Location
Find a location for the solenoid/contactor. It is
recommended that the solenoid/contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean, dry
location. Make sure the location chosen allows for
sufficient clearance from all metal components.
Drill mounting holes if required. Once a location
is found, DO NOT install the unit until all wiring
is completed (see wiring section).
Installing the Rocker Switch
1. Decide which handlebar the rocker switch will
be mounted on. (The rocker switch is usually
installed on the left handlebar).
2. Use a piece of electrical tape (not provided)
around the handlebar to help prevent rotation
of the mount.
3. Tighten the rocker switch in place. DO NOT
over tighten or tighten/clamp over any hoses
or cables.
4. Once the rocker switch is mounted, the wires
can be routed back to where the solenoid/
contactor is located.
5. Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the rocker switch’s
cable with the supplied cable ties.
Terminals coming in contact with metal will cause
a direct short, possibly causing solenoid/contactor
and/or battery damage.
NOTE
The type of vehicle to which the winch and mounting
channel will be applied, will dictate the type of
mounting kit that should be used (Speed Mount™
Hitch Adapter, Standard Mounting Channel, or
Specialty Mounting Kit).
NOTE
If utilizing a mounting plate, ensure that the three
major sections (motor, drum and gear housing) are
properly aligned. Proper alignment of the winch will
allow for even distribution of the full rated load.
