Mounting - Warn Provantage 2500 Guide D’installation

Section 1 - Mount the Winch
Winch mounting kits are available to satisfy nearly
all applications. For information on available kits,
contact your WARN® product dealer.
NOTICE For optimal performance and the results you expect,
WARN® mounting plates are strongly recommended.
CAUTION
To prevent accidental activation of the winch
and serious injury, complete the winch installation and attach
the hook before installing the wiring.
WARNING Always choose a mounting location that is
suffi ciently strong enough to withstand the maximum pulling
capacity of your winch.
WARNING Never use bolts that are too long.
WARNING Always spool the winch rope onto the drum
in the direction speci ed by the drum rotation labels on the
winch and/or in the documentation. This is required for the
automatic brake (if so equipped) to function properly.
WARNING Always wind the winch rope on the bottom
(mount side) of the drum.
This winch should always be mounted in a
horizontal orientation (unless otherwise specified
by application instructions) with the rope winding
on and off the drum on the mount side (bottom) of
the drum.

MOUNTING

Correct rotation is required for the automatic
brake to function properly. Horizontal mounting
helps prevent the rope from piling up on one end of
the drum which can damage the winch.
Always use recommended bolt and washer
combinations torqued to recommended levels.
Specifications listed below. NOTE: Mounting
system will dictate bolt length.
To secure the winch, always use:
• A flat, secure mounting location at least 4.8 mm
(3/16 in.) thick.
• 8 mm (5/16 in.) Lock washers.
• M8-1.25, class 8.8 hex head cap screws
