WARNING Always use assistance when moving or lifting heavy parts.

19. With assistance, line up the semi hidden weldment/winch assembly. 20. Slide it underneath the bumper and then up into position (lining up mounting studs). 21. The winch control pack is the part that must pass underneath and into the space you trimmed out. NOTE: More trimming may be necessary to obtain accurate fit.

NOTE: Be sure to keep winch power cables clear of weldment assembly.

22. Once accurate fit is achieved, install the four factory mounting nuts ( 4 per side ). Do not tighten to allow for adjustment. 23. Adjust and center the bumper and semi hidden assembly horizontally. NOTE: Horizontal adjustment is at the frame pad studs. 23. Align the stock bumper vertically. NOTE: Vertical alignment of the stock bumper is adjusted at the bumper bracket vertical slots. TIP: We recommend using a floor jack to help with this. 24. Now that all the hardware is installed: a) Check to make sure that there isn’t to much space between the frame brackets and the bumper. b) Confirm bumper is centered and aligned vertically and horizontally. c) Once satisfied with alignment, torque all hardware to suggested values on page 2. NOTE: Always make adjustments with assistance. 25. Installation is now complete. Use the two bolts (5) and nuts (4) to install license plate to the front of the weldment. NOTE: Plastic plugs (6) are included for the two lower front winch access holes.

MAINTENANCE / CARE 1. Inspect all parts on the winch, winch mount, and related hardware prior to each use. Replace all hardware that appears rusted or deformed. 2. Inspect all nuts and bolts on the winch, winch mount,, and related hardware prior to each use. Tighten all nuts that appear to be

loose. Stripped, fractured, or bent bolts or nuts need to be replaced. 3. Check all cables prior to use. Replace cables that look worn or frayed. 4. Check all moving or rotating parts. Remove debris that may inhibit the part from moving freely.
