InstalL Instructions (Cont'd.)
step 1
Inspect your winch drum. Verify that there are no sharp
features or protrusions that will damage the winch line.
File or sand down any sharp burrs or gouges until they
are smooth.
step 2
Inspect your fairlead. We recommend using only
Hawse-style fairleads. We DO NOT recommend
the use of roller fairleads, as the winch line can get
pinched or torn between the rollers. Make sure
there is at least 3/8” of clearance between the
opening of the fairlead and the edges of the
mounting plate. This will prevent damage to the
winch line from the fairlead mounting bracket.
step 4 (Mounting Lug)
Insert the mounting lug end of the winch line
through the fairlead. Feed the line underneath the
drum and pull it over the top of the drum. Securely
attach the mounting lug to the drum with the
mounting screw. A longer M6 screw has been
provided for use with TG 8000 & TG 10000 winch-
es. Other brands of winches may require a different
size mounting screw. Note: If your winch has a
different method of mounting the end of the winch
line to the drum of your winch, follow the winch line
mounting instructions provided with your winch.
step 3
Uncoil the winch line and lay it out at in front of your
vehicle.
step 4 (Mounting Loop)
Insert the mounting loop end of the winch line
through the fairlead. Feed the line underneath the
drum and pull it over the top of the drum. Securely
attach the mounting loop to the drum with the M6
mounting screw and adapter provided with the
winch line. Some brands of winches may require a
different size mounting screw. Note: If your winch
has a different method of mounting the end of the
winch line to the drum of your winch, follow the
winch line mounting instructions provided with your
winch.
