Mounting Hardware Requirements
ALWAYS torque mounting bolts to the values specified for your winch in Table 4 page 8 to prevent
vibration during operation.
ALWAYS use Grade 5 / 8.8 Metric or better hardware.
NEVER weld mounting bolts.
ALWAYS choose the proper bolt length for your application.
ALWAYS confirm required bolt length to ensure proper thread engagement.
BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING YOUR POWERED WINCH, READ AND
FOLLOW ALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY MESSAGES.
