WIRING INSTRUCTIONS:OVERVIEW

Installation requires the use of KFI #UTV-WEK (Extended Wiring Kit). All wiring will first be routed from the hood compartment where the Contactor Block is mounted through a small wiring outlet (E), then either to the battery or the winch.

Leave all ends loose until instructed to connect them. You will then work your way back to the front while securing wires to the frame and pulling slack into the hood compartment.

INSTALL CONTACTOR9. Position and install the Contactor Block to the

preferredlocationasshowninFigure 5. Itmustbeplacedasinthephototoavoidradiatorhosesdirectlybelow the plastic. Use the dotted lines as a guideandvisuallycentertheContactorBlockasshowninFigure 5.Installusinghardwareincludedwithyourwinch, or alternatively, short drywall/multi-purposescrews.

ROUTE WINCH WIRES10. Feed the shortest wires included with your

winch (usually RED & BLACK) from the hoodcompartment,throughawireoutlet (E)asshowninFigure 5.

11. Run thewinchwires down through the oulet, overtop the passenger side shock support, and towardtheWinchMotor end following thedashed path inFigure 6.

INSTALL SWITCH15. Use included Mini-Rocker Switch Hardware Kit

(HK-031)tofastenahandlebarmountedmini-rockerswitchtothedashoranydesiredlocation.

a. Remove handlebar mount hardware from the switch.

b. Locate desired mounting location.

c. Mark & drill 2 switch holes thru dash using switch housing as a template.

d. Drill a 3rd hole for switch wiring.

e. Assemble per Figure 7.

16. ConnecttheredignitionfedwireforaMini-RockerSwitchorothercontroller to theorange terminaloftheauxilliarywiringharness that ispre-installedonthe passenger side in the front hood compartment.See Figure 8.Attach using the supplied 22-18GA Male Insulated Terminal. Wire to Contactor peryourwinchmanual.Securewiresasneeded.

ROUTE BATTERY WIRESYou will route the wires from UTV-WEK to the battery along the same path as the parking brake wire bundle. (See Fig 11)

17. This vehicle requires extended 11FT batterywires included with the Wire Extension Kit(KFI#: UTV-WEK, sold separately).Use only theBLUE & YELLOW color coded wires found inUTV-WEKtoconnectthebattery.
