Step Three: Contactor Location
• The contactor is a primary safety feature in your
winch system. It disconnects your winch from its
power source when the ATV is not in use. The
contactor must be correctly installed to work

mounted in a location that is as clean and dry as
possible. Exact location will vary, depending on
the ATV.
