Starting at the winch, feed the
wires into the engine compartment.
If possible, use the routing and sup-
port for the existing wiring.
If it is necessary to drill holes, to
feed the wires, be sure the wires are
protected from damage by using a
grommet (Figure 9). Use cable ties
to secure wires along the route.

When you make the ground con-
nection, be sure to scrape off any
dirt from the bolt that would pre-
vent a good connection.
Note: If the winch is mounted at
the rear of the vehicle, a special
wiring kit (P/N 1520) is available
from Superwinch.
When extending the lead wires for
rear vehicle mount, always use 8
gauge wire or heavier to extend the
existing wires to the battery.
