1.5 Install the Wiring
WARNING
BEFORE installing the winch, make sure all electrical parts are corrosion free.
ALWAYS place the supplied terminal boots on wires and terminals as directed by the installation
instructions.
NEVER lean over battery while making connections.
NEVER route electrical cables over battery terminals.
ALWAYS consult Electrical Connections section for proper wiring details.
Run the charging system during winching operations to keep battery charged.
NEVER route electrical cables across sharp edges.
NEVER route electrical cables near parts that get hot.
NEVER route electrical cables through or near moving parts.
AVOID pinch and wear/abrasion points when installing all electrical cables.
ALWAYS insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.
1.5.1 Battery Recommendations & Lead Size
A fully charged battery and good connections are essential for the proper operation of your winch. The
minimum requirement for the battery is 650 cold cranking amps.

1.5.2 Battery Cable Routing
Route battery connection cables in areas that will not cause them to wear or cut through the insulation
causing a potential short circuit. The winch power wire must be routed to the battery. A direct battery
connection of the power (red) and ground (black) cables is required.
WARNING
ALWAYS route battery cables along a path that allows the cables to be secured with zip ties.
Loose or unsecured power cables can cause serious injury or death.
1. Plan the routing path.
2. Loosely secure power cables along path.
3. Confirm power cables are protected from sharp edges, heat and moving parts. Consider chassis
flex and vibration which might damage cable.
4. Carefully inspect electrical cable routing. Zip tie and secure electrical cables. Zip ties should be
snug, but not cutting into wire insulation. Use electrical tape, pieces of rubber hose or electrical
conduit to protect electrical cables and wire harness where needed to avoid electrical cable insula-
tion wear or abrasion.
5. FIRST attach red (positive) battery cable, then black (negative) battery cable. Install boots as appro-
priate to protect connections. Torque battery terminal fasteners to 124 in/lbs (14 N-m). See Figure 5,
page 10.
