Step Six: Wiring Installation
• Route the wires from the winch along the frame
toward the steering column of the vehicle. The
contactor must be installed in the cleanest and
dry place on ATV. The contactor will also need to
be located so the handlebar switch wires can
reach the contactor.
• Secure the contactor with a 1/4" bolt and zip tie or
two zip ties. The contactor must be secured on
both sides.
• If installing both the handle bar switch and the
remote socket, first, attach the terminals on the
green and black remote socket wires into the
contactor (green to green, black to black). Next,
attach the terminals on the handle bar switch
wires into the "Y" connectors on the remote socket
wire harness after removing the dust caps.

CAUTION
• If only installing the handlebar switch, attach the
terminals on the green and black handle bar
switch wires directly to the terminals of the
contactor.
• When possible, route the winch kit power (red)
and ground (black) wires along the ATV's
existing wire routing path in the under seat and
battery location areas. Ensure the wiring is not
pinched when the seat is reinstalled.
• Assure that cables do not cross sharp edges,
moving parts, or contact items that may become
hot.
• Secure loose wiring with zip ties or electrical
tape prior to final ATV reassembly.
Step Seven: System Check
Before using the winch, verify the following:
• Wiring to all components is correct. All loose
wires are tie wrapped tight.
• There are no exposed wiring or terminals. Cover
any existing terminal exposures with terminal

boots, heat shrink tubing or electricians tape.
• Turn ATV key switch to ON position. Check winch
for proper operation. The wire rope should spool
in and out in the direction indicated on the
switch.
