Install the Fairlead

• Install the fairlead onto the bumper using the supplied hardware and tighten down, from there feed about two feet of rope out the front of the fairlead to aid in the hook attachment process following.
• We do not recommend using steel cable with our winch fairlead. Synthetic rope only.
• Next, check your rope end where the hook is going to attach and see what style you have, the EOD fairlead is designed to be used with a rope end that has no metal jacket so that way the form factor is smaller attaching to the hook, therefore it can be recessed deeper into the fairlead resulting in a cleaner look all while allowing the full use of various attachments or accessories.
• Continue to the next steps if the rope does have a metal jacket around it otherwise, you can skip down to the last step and get things finished up quickly.
• If the rope metal jacket has a split like in the picture above then you can use pliers to squeeze the jacket together a create some slack and then “roll” the rope over one end and remove the jacket, if more slack is needed then you can push the side of the rope end that goes inside of the other and loosen the outer and that will loosen the outer portion of the rope to allowing some slack to feed the inner rope portion, essentially the outer portion follows the same principal as the toy finger traps.
• We have found that Super Atv, Badlands (Harbor Freight) have this style while Warn does not use anything there so it will not be even easier with a Warn.
• We recommend using rope that is the style above but if you find yourself with this style with a little patience it can be made to work as well.
• If the rope metal jacket does not have a split like above then you can stick a straight pick in between the jacket and the rope for protection and then use a cutoff wheel to cut and remove the jacket, if a cutoff wheel is not available then a set of diagonal cutters can be used.
• When using the diagonal cutters, a “bite and lift” technique seems to work well at cutting through the metal, take your time and make sure you do not get the rope in between and accidentally cut any portion of it.
• Once both sides are cut through use the same technique as stated earlier and “roll” the rope over and off the metal jacket then repeat on the other side to get the jacket removed.
• After all modifications are complete you can attach the hook end to the rope making sure not to forget to install the e-clip that holds the rod into our hook end, use the winch to pull in the slack created earlier then perform a final check over of the work done and enjoy your EOD fairlead and hook combo!
