TALON 1000 PREPARATION:

1. Shift vehicle transmission into “PARK”. Turn key to “OFF” position and remove from vehicle.

2. To gain access to electrical connections, turn the hood knobs, pull upwards to release tabbed grommet holds and remove the hood as shown. (See illustrations 1-1).

3. Locate the battery box, release clips and remove the cover. Disconnect black (negative) and red (positive) cables from the battery.(See illustrations 1-2).
   WARNING
   ALWAYS disconnect the black negative (-) cable from the battery FIRST. Failure to do so will result in a high current electrical arc, and may result in battery explosion if tool touches the grounded to frame. Death or serious injury may occur.

4. Remove the bumper screws from each side and front bumper as shown. Save all for re-install later. (See illustrations 1-3 and 1-4).
   Note, the 5mm, 6mm and 10mm bolts will be re-used for bumper installation later. This winch can be used with the stock bumper and Honda Signature Accessory Front Bumper (see illustrations 1-12).
   

5. Remove the Talon winch assembly from the packaging.
   NOTE: See the Electrical Connections Reference Guide section of the instruction manual for detailed photos of each part and their respective connections.

6. Position the winch sub-assembly into the front bumper as shown. (See illustrations 1-5).

7. Assemble the mounting bracket to the front bumper using the U – Bracket Clamps (item #15) and two M10 long bolts (item #26). Place the U-Bracket over the bumper frame tube as shown. Insert the bolts thru the winch bracket and U – Bracket and then fasten from the bottom using two M10 locknuts (item #18). (See illustrations 1-6, 1-7, and 1-8). Note, do not tighten the hardware at this time.
   

8. Locate the yellow and blue wires on the winch assembly. If they are secured together as a bundle with a plastic tie, cut the tie to allow the wires to be routed properly. Then
   locate the black cable tie (item #28) and close around the blue and yellow cables, securing them to the winch mount (item #4). (See illustrations 1-6 and 1-7).

9. Install winch-bumper assembly onto the frame re-using the OEM hardware removed in step 4 as shown. Check that all wires are free to move and not pinched between the vehicle chassis and the winch-bumper assembly. Route the blue and yellow power cables first into the window above the front gearcase, up behind the radiator. (See illustrations 1-8, 1-9, and 1-11). Note, do not tighten the hardware at this time.

10. Install the Frame Clamps (item #11) onto the back side of the vertical frame tubes, lining up with the winch mount plate(item #4) as shown. Fasten the clamps by inserting M8 screws (item #32), M8lock washers (item #31), and M8 flat washers (item #19) through the winch mount plate holes. (See illustrations 1-9, 1-10, and 1-11).

12. Tighten the Winch Mount M10 and M8 hardware as specified below. (See illustrations 1-13).

13. To gain access to install Contactor (item #12), remove the rear hood by removing hex socket screws, flange screws, and plastic trim clips. The blue and yellow power cables can be pulled up behind the radiator. (See illustrations 1-14). Note, the rubber splash shield can remain in place, but can be folded down for cable routing access.
    

14. Locate the black and red power cables secured to the instrument panel at the location shown. Remove the blue protective tape from the terminals. (See illustrations 1-15).

15. Install a black rubber insulated terminal boot over the end of the black and red power cables as shown. Install the M6 screw (item #16) onto the contactor mount tab and fasten from the backside using the M6 locknut(item #27). (See illustrations 1-16). Note, do not tighten the hardware at this time.
    

16. Install the contactor (item #12) to the frame tab as shown using two M6 screws (item #16) and fasten using an M6 locknut (item #27) from underneath. (See illustrations 1-17  and 1-18). Note, do not connect the winch cables to the battery at this time.

17. Install the black and red power cables to the corresponding colored contactor terminals with the provided M6 nut as shown. (See illustrations 1-17 and 1-18). Note, the insulated black rubber boot terminals are not shown for clarity. Make sure to install the rubber boots onto the cable terminals for contactor stud terminals. Do not tighten M6 contactor nuts at this time.
    

18. Route the blue (item #9) and yellow (item #8) power cables along frame tubes, behind the radiator, over the front left shock, as shown to the contactor location. Secure the wires using plastic cable ties (item #2) to the frame tubes at the four locations shown. (See illustrations 1-19, 1-20, 1-21 and 1-22).

19. Install the blue and yellow power cables to the corresponding colored contactor terminals with the provided M6 nut as shown. (See illustrations 1-17 and 1-18).
    

20. Tighten the M6 Contactor nuts to the below specifications.
    

21. Slide the insulated rubber terminal boots over the four contactor stud terminals. (See illustrations 1-17).

    NOTE: See the Electrical Connections
    The reference Guide section of the instruction manual for detailed photos of each part and their respective connections.

23. Remove the glovebox from the vehicle dash panel by removing the screws and plastic trim clips as shown. Save for reinstall later. (See illustrations 1-24). Note, there is a plastic trim clip deep inside the bottom of the glovebox that will need to be removed.
    

24. Remove the glovebox door by gently flexing the plastic at the hinge to free the hinge pin, then pull outwards to release.

25. The interior top surface of the glovebox is marked with three index locations as shown. Drill thru the plastic wall at the outer two holes using a 9/64” (3.5mm) diameter bit. Drill the center hole using 1” (25mm) diameter bit. (See illustrations 1-25).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your winch is not functioning properly, below is a short guide that can help you diagnose and correct the problem.

Winch will not
operate| Contactor not receiving power| Turn the vehicle key on.
Connections between components not in proper order| Check connections. Connect the wired handlebar switch connection from the vehicle main wire harness directly to the contactor to make sure a direct connection will operate the winch. If connections are not in the order shown in the pictures on the last page, the whole system may not function or only certain parts of it will function.
Loose battery cable connections| Tighten nuts on all cable connections.
Keyed power circuit (orange wires) not properly powered| Check fusebox for 10A accessory circuit. Check the voltage in certain places, especially the orange wires coming out of the main harness by the steering post.
Contactor malfunctioning| Tap the contactor to loosen contacts. Apply 12 volts to coil terminals directly. A clicking indicates proper activation.
Defective switch assembly| Replace switch assembly.
Defective motor| Check for voltage at armature port with switch pressed. If voltage is present, replace the winch assembly.
Nested and bounded cable within winch assembly| Move the free spool knob to the “free spool” position. Manually pull the cable out of the winch until the end is met and then re-spool the cable back into the winch.
Water has entered the motor| Allow draining and dry. Run in short bursts without load until completely dry.
Winch makes
noise but rope
does not move| Contactor powered, but not winch| If you can hear a clicking sound when you press the winch control but the winch does not make any sounds, check the connections between the winch and the contactor.
Winch not in proper gear| Move the free spool knob to the “locked spoor position, then recheck. If the problem persists, a qualified technician needs to check and repair it.
Winch operates too
slowly| Winch improperly loaded| Check that the winch is clear and the rope is not bound up and that there is no load pulling on the rope.
Insufficient current or voltage| The battery is weak, recharge. Run winch with vehicle motor running (the battery should have a strong charge).
Loose or corroded battery cable
connections| Clean, tighten, or replace.
Winch overheating| Winch running time too long| Allow the winch to cool down periodically.
Winch operates in
one direction only| Defective or stuck contactor| Tap the contactor to loosen contacts.
Repair or replace the contactor.
Defective switch assembly| Replace switch assembly.
Defective brake assembly| Replace winch assembly.
