4. INSTALLATION
4.1 INSTALLATING THE CONTROL BOX
(recommended before installing winch to vehicle).
The control box can be mounted in various ways depending on the application.
The control box can be mounted in two positions:
a) On Cross Bars
1. Install the two included aluminum brackets on the bottom of the control box by removing the four nuts on the bottom of the
box, then place the brackets over the bolts and secure brackets by re-installing the nut. (Fig. 1) Note: The hooks on the brackets go
towards the front of the winch.
2. Be careful when installing brackets in order not to push the bolts up into the control box. To prevent this, install brackets
with the control box on its side instead of laying it flat on a table.
3. Secure by tightening the screw on the rear of each bracket and add red lock nut. Decide where you want control box over the
drum (left, center, right), then secure it using the included screw, L bracket and nut on the rear.
4. The screw goes through the aluminum bracket and into the L bracket with the bottom of the L bracket placed into the slot
of the rear tie-bar and finally secured more with included lock nut.

b) Over the Winch Motor
1) Install the two black motor mount brackets on the bottom of the control box by removing the four nuts on the bottom of the box,
then placing the brackets over the bolts and then secure brackets by re-installing the nut.
Note: The end of the brackets point outward. (Fig. 2) Be careful when installing brackets in order not to push the bolts up into the
control box. To help prevent this, install brackets with the control box on its side instead of laying it flat.
2) Install the control box by lining it up with the two holes on the motor side upright, then cecure with the included hardware.
