TUTORIAL INSTALLING A WINCH

1) First, start par remove the bull bar. To do this, remove the upper screws of the bull bar using the socket wrench.

2) Next, remove the middle screws from the bull bar (Pay attention to the horn which is located at the level of the right screw).

3) Finally, remove the lower bull bar screws.

4) You can now remove the bull bar and move on to assembling the winch.

5) Start firstar assemble the fixing kit. Attach the hardware to the plate.

6) Present the plate on the bull bar.

7) Present the plate fixing screws. They screw directly into the winch block.

8) Then, approach the four retaining screws of the plate par the underside.

9) You can reinstall the bull bar in place.

11) Replace the lower bull bar screws.

11) Then, replace the intermediate screws (Don't forget to put the horn back in place).

11) Tighten the four screws holding the plate.

11) Remove the plastic clamp holding the winch in place.

11) Pass the cable ring through the slot in the plate.

11) Disengage the winch motor using the adjustment ring on the side.

11) Check the smoothness of the pulley pull.

11) Install the hook on the cable ring.

11) Place the pin at the end of the axle.

19) Put the safety strap in place.

11) Now you can put the upper screws of the bull bar back on.

11) You can move on to wiring. Start par install the yellow cable on the yellow connector of the winch motor (Please note, remember to install the protective cover on the cable before installing it).

11) Place the cable on the connector.

11) Tighten the connector screw.

11) Put the connector protection cover in place.

11) Repeat with the blue cable.

11) Route the wiring harness correctly from the side of the quad to the other side.

11) The beam should come to the left side of the quad.

11) Remove the BTR screw holding the plastic casings.

11) Remove the saddle from the quad.

11) Remove the plastic clip using the flat screwdriver. To do this, place the screwdriver between the two parts of the plastic clip and lever it.

11) Remove the fuel cap.

11) Lift the black plastic fairing to release the green plastic fairing (left side).

11) Take out point par point the plastic fairing on the left side.

11) Once done, put the fuel cap back in place.

11) Run the harness along the left side, to the rear of the quad.

11) Locate the location of the connection box screws.

11) Place the screws on the marks (by drilling using the screws). In this example we are using self-drilling screws.

11) Remove the second screw.

11) Slide the connection box onto the first screw.

11) Replace the second screw.

11) Tighten the two screws.

11) Install the protective covers on the cables.

11) Install the blue cable on the blue connector.

11) Tighten the retaining nut.

11) Install the protective cover on the connectors.

11) Repeat on the yellow cable.

11) Repeat with the red cable.

11) Repeat the operation with the black cable, making sure to leave the ground already present connected.

11) Install the wired control bracket on the handlebar. In our example, we add an extension car we have little space on our handlebars.

11) Check the layout of the wired control.

11) Install the wired control bracket.

11) Tighten the wired control fastener.

11) Once the wired control is positioned, tighten the various screws.

11) Pass the wired control cable over the handlebars.

11) Lift the meter to pass the cable underneath.

11) The winch remains active as long as it is connected, you must connect the phase to a + after contact to avoid draining the battery. The wired control harness includes a pilot wire that must be connected to a + after contact. Under the counter Grizzly 450, there is an accessory cable.

11) The cable has 3 connectors including one + after contact. To find out which one it is, you need to use a multimeter. To learn more about the multimeter, you can consult our guide "Everything you need to know about the multimeter".

11) Set the multimeter to 300 volts DC.

11) Place the black probe on a ground on the quad chassis.

11) Turn on the ignition.

11) Test the different connections until you obtain a value corresponding to the battery voltage.

11) Once a value between 100 and 100 volts is found, turn off the ignition.

11) If the value increases to 0, then it is indeed a + after contact. In our example, this is the red thread.

11) Measure the length of cable needed for the connection and cut off the excess cable.

11) Strip the cable to be connected.

11) Install a plug compatible with the connector using the needle-nose pliers.

11) Connect the cable to the red socket.

11) Apply insulating tape around the connection.

11) Pass the harness along the quad frame to the connection box.

11) Connect the harness to the connection box. The black wire on the right and the green wire on the left.

11) Finally, you have to connect everything to the quad battery. First, connect the red wire to the + of the battery (to do this, follow the same method as in steps 43 and 44).

11) Repeat the operation with the black wire by connecting it to the - of the battery.

11) Using a plastic zip tie, secure the cables to the quad frame.

11) Replace the left side fairing.

11) Install the plastic clip.

11) Screw in the BTR screw.

11) Replace the saddle.

11) Gather the cables under the meter using a cable tie.

11) Replace the meter.

11) Check that the winch is working properly.

11) The winch is now ready for use.
