INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

REMOVE CONTROL PACK FROM WINCH

WARNING To prevent serious injury or death. Always place the supplied terminal boots on wires and terminals as directed by the installation instructions.
WARNING To prevent serious injury or death from electrical fire:

| 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.

WARNING Always insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery cables, negative terminal first. All work with electrical wires and cables must be completed with the battery completely disconnected from the vehicle wiring.

2. Disconnect the ground cable on the under side of the winch (see figure 1). Make sure the  small black wire that connects to the controlpack is disconnected and hanging freely.

3. Remove the top buss bar cover by unscrewing the fastener holding it in place. Retain fastener for later use.

4. Remove the three motor terminal nuts and lock washers that secure the buss bars to the motor. Retain the terminal nuts and lock washers for future step.

5. Remove the four (4) flat head torx drive screws located on the underside of the tie plate. NOTE: Rope may need to be spooled out to complete this step.

6. Once all four (4) control pack screws have been removed, gently lift the control pack off of the tie plate and set aside to be further disassembled.

7. Remove the motor terminal buss bar insulator after control pack has been removed.

DISASSEMBLING THE CONTROL PACK

1. Disassemble the control pack by removing the four (4) flat head torx drive screws.

2. Gently lift the control pack cover off of the contactor plate assembly. The cover should remain wired to the contactor at this time. Simply move the cover to one side or out of the way while working on the contactor.

3. Remove the contactor from the control pack plate by unscrewing the flat head torx drive screws and lock nuts.

4. Remove the power cable, all buss bars and installed buss bar separator connected to the contactor.

5. Be sure to keep all hardware for reinstallation.

6. Cut and remove zip tie securing socket wiring bundle to contactor.

7. Unplug the white, brown and green wires from the top of the contactor. Carefully set aside the contactor.

8. Open remote socket cover located on the control pack cover.

9. Using a torx driver to remove the two machine screws holding the socket in place.

10. Remove the remote socket by gently pulling wire bundle out of the control pack cover .

DETERMINE CONTACTOR MOUNTING LOCATION AND CABLE ROUTING PATH
To determine the contactor mounting location it is recommended that the contactor be mounted on a solid mounting surface and easily accessible.
Contactor should be in a location that is as clean and dry as possible. Ensure the contactor mounting location selected provides sufficient clearance from all metal structures. Exact location will vary depending on the vehicle.
To determine the winch motor cable assembly and ground wire routing path, verify the path will allow the winch motor cable assembly and ground wire to be routed avoiding sharp edges, parts that get hot and moving parts. Consider chassis flex and vibration which might damage cable.

MOUNTING THE CONTACTOR
WARNING To prevent serious injury or death. Always place the supplied terminal boots on wires and terminals as directed by the installation instructions.
WARNING To prevent serious injury or death from electrical fi re:

| 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.

WARNING Always verify area is clear of fuel lines, fuel tank, brake lines, electrical wires, etc., when drilling.
WARNING Never mount contactor with electrical terminals touching metal objects.

After determining contactor mounting location, you are ready to mount your contactor.

1. Use the contactor as a template to drill the holes needed to mount the contactor.

2. Drill the holes to 6.5mm diameter. WARNING! Be sure to check the area before you drill to avoid hitting any electrical cables or gas lines.

3. Install the contactor using the supplied bolts, rectangular washers and lock nuts.
   NOTE: Before making any connections, you will be routing the winch motor cable assembly and ground extension wire only.

4. Once you have determined your winch motor cable assembly and ground wire path, route the cable assembly and the ground extension wire from the winch to the contactor. Loosely secure in place using zip ties.

5. Confirm cables are protected from sharp edges, heat and moving parts. Consider chassis flex and vibration which might damage cable.

6. Locate and install the relcoation kit contactor terminal separator (included in kit).

7. Install the red wire (with ring terminal) from the remote socket wire bundle to the positive (+) contactor terminal.
   WARNING Always insulate and protect all exposed wiring and electrical terminals.

8. Install protective electrical boots on each of the cables.

9. Connect cables to contactor using the terminal nuts and lock washers previously removed. Connect the labeled cables (A, F1 and F2) to corresponding terminal. Torque nuts to 8.5-9 N-m (75-80 in. lbs.). Refer to Figure 12 for Final Cable Assembly.

10. Reconnect the winch remote socket wires back onto the contactor’s spade terminals. The white wire gets connected to spade terminal 1, brown wire to spade terminal 2, and green wire to spade terminal 3.

11. Using zip ties or purchased hardware, secure the remote socket into place near the contactor.
    If you require greater socket location flexibility, order Warn PN 86605.

CONNECTING THE CONTACTOR

WARNING To prevent serious injury or death from electrical fire:

| 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.

WARNING Always verify area is clear of fuel lines, fuel tank, brake lines, electrical wires, etc., when drilling.
WARNING Never mount contactor with electrical terminals touching metal objects.

1. Attach the wire terminal housing to the motor terminals on the winch using terminal nuts and lock washer previously removed. Torque nuts to 8.5-9 N-m (75-80 in. lbs.)

2. Install the cover plate and fasten with the two supplied machine screws. Do not over tighten screws, over tightening could damage the plastic components.

3. Use the supplied butt splice connector and the black extension wire to lengthen the contactor ground wire.

4. Reconnect the ground cable and small black wire to winch motor ground. Secure fasteners to specified torque requirements in torque specification chart found in these instructions.

5. Carefully inspect electrical cable routing. Is it neat and tidy? 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 insulation wear or abrasion.
   

6. Attach battery cables, red (positive) cable FIRST, black (negative) second. Install boots as appropriate to protect connections. Torque battery terminal fasteners as directed by vehicle service manual.

7. Make sure to plug in the winch remote and ensure that drum is turning in the proper direction when spooling in/out before using in the field.

8. Installation complete.
