ASSEMBLY
1) Install Solenoid/Contactor
Find a location for the contactor. If the model specific
mounting kit does not indicate a recommended contactor
location, then it is recommended that the contactor be
mounted close to the battery in a clean dry location.
Make sure the location you chose allows sufficient
clearance from all metal components. Drill mounting
holes if required. Once location is found do not install
until all wiring is completed.
2) Install Rocker Switch
1. Decide which handlebar the switch will be mounted
on. The switch is usually installed on the left
handlebar.
2. Use a piece of electrical tape around the handlebar
to help prevent rotation of the mount on the
handlebar. Do NOT tighten over any hoses or
cables.
3. Once your switch is mounted you can route the
wires back to where your contactor is located.
4. Splice the end of the RED wire to an ignition
(keyed) controlled power source using the supplied
wire tap. You may need to use a test light to locate
a suitable wire. The wire should only have power
when the key is in the ON position.
5. Make sure the handlebars have full range of
motion and then secure the switch’s cable with the
supplied cable ties.
NOTICE
– Always purchase the correct size and grade of
battery most suitable for the intended use.
– Clean the battery contacts and also those of the
device prior to battery installation.
– Remove batteries from equipment which is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
– Remove batteries if consumed or if product is to
be left unused for a long time.
3) Adding/Replacing the remote
batteries
1. Remove two screws with a Phillips screwdriver (not
included) by turning counter clockwise.
2. Disassemble the two halves of the remote apart
slightly by hand.
3. Remove the key ring.
4. First use: insert (2) A23 batteries included.
Replacement: carefully remove the older batteries
and insert the new (2) A23 batteries.
5. Reverse the above instructions to reassemble the
remote.
4) Wiring the Winch
CAUTION
Never route electrical cables across any sharp edges,
through or near moving parts, or near parts that
become hot.
1. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the motor
terminals on the winch. Torque the terminal nuts
on the motor to 5.7 N-m (50 lb-in). Route the other
ends to the contactor location.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cables to the contactor
(yellow to yellow and blue to blue). Do NOT tighten
nuts.
3. Connect the red and black cables to your contactor
(red to red and black to black). Do NOT tighten
nuts. Route the other ends to your battery location.
CAUTION
Battery cables should not be drawn taut. Leave some
slack for cable movement.
4. Connect the rocker switch to the contactor (black
to black and green to green).
5. Once all wiring is connected to the contactor you
can then mount it using the supplied M6 hardware.
6. Torque the contactor terminal nuts to 4.5 N-m
(40 lb-in). Do NOT over tighten.
7. Place all terminal boots over terminals and secure
all cables with cable ties or electrical tape (not
included).

8. Connect the battery leads from the contactor to the
ATV’s Battery (red to red and black to black).
NOTICE
Depending on the location of the contactor, you may
need to use the black and red cables in place of the
yellow and blue, and the yellow and blue in place
of the red and black. Just remember that this also
changes the diagram.
5) Install the Antenna
1. Determine the mounting location.
2. If mounting on a flat surface, mark and drill a
minimum of two (2) mounting holes, one 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.
4. Locate the black and green wires running from
the contactor to the rocker switch. Find the bullet
connectors on these wires located near the
contactor.
5. Plan a route for the wire harness between the
antenna and these bullet connectors.
6. Pull apart the bullet connectors on the BLACK and
GREEN wires identified in step 4 above. These will
be located near the contactor
7. Connect the rocker switch and contactor to the
antenna (black to black and green to green).
8. Connect the black ground wire with the ring to the
black (–) terminal on the solenoid/contactor.
6) Test Winch Operation
1. Make sure there are no exposed terminals or
wiring, and wiring to all components is correct, all
loose wires are secured.
2. Turn ATV ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Check the winch for proper operation using the
rocker switch. The wire rope should spool in and
out in the direction indicated on the switch.
4. To use test wireless system, activate the system
by pressing and holding the POWER button on
the wireless remote for 3 seconds. This transfers
control of the winch to the wireless control system.
A red indicator light on the wireless remote turns on
when the system is active and ready to use.
NOTICE
LED Indicator Light
– Steady Red: System active and ready to use.
– Flashing Red: Winch powering in or out.
5. Verify that the winch spools the rope in and out
properly by pressing the buttons on the wireless
remote. The wire rope should spool in and out in
the direction indicated on the remote.
6. Deactivate the system by pressing the POWER
button on the wireless remote and holding for 3
seconds, until red light turns off or after 2 mins of
idle time, the wireless system de-activates.
