Installation method
-
If there is a bumper, and the bumper has a winch mounting hole, just fix the winch directly on the bumper, a typical case is a Jeep Wrangler.
-
If you want to build the winch in the bumper, you need to buy a special mounting bracket, or customize the bracket yourself, fix the bracket on the beam, and fix the winch on the bracket. Typical cases are as follows: PRADO, PAJEROV33, V73, V93, etc.
-
For quick-plug installation, the front or parking space needs to have a trailer square port, a female port, and the quick-plug frame is inserted into the square port to fix the pin, which can be disassembled, and can be removed and put in the car when not in use.
-
If you want to make your own mounting plate, the following dimensions will help. A 6mm thick steel mounting plate is recommended. Fasteners shall be high-strength grade 5 or better steel. Improperly designed mounts may void the warranty.
-
The winch should be secured to the bracket using 3/8" UNC x 1-1/4" stainless steel. Supplied with bolts and spring washers.
-
Install the roller fairlead to guide the rope evenly on the drum.
Notice:
Please read the instructions carefully and wire according to the instructions. Winches are electrical products that can cause short circuits and heat or smoke if wiring is wrong.
We suggest that you find a professional to install. If there are any problems on the installation, please feel free to consult at any time.
If you have any questions, please contact us and we will arrange to solve them for you.
WINCH OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
Connection method: One side is connected to the red power cord of the control box and the other side is connected to the positive pole of the power supply.
The overload protector is just like its name, its function is to cut off the power directly when it detects that you have been overloaded, so as to avoid accidents.
After it is powered off, there is no need to worry that the winch will be released directly, because the winch itself has an automatic braking function.
The two functions work at the same time. and the winch can be safely stopped when the winch is overloaded.
