Why did you do one Y connector under the engine and the Y connection by the motor?

Great explanation for safety glasses without safety gloves? Trust me I am not trying to be that guy. I do it that way myself.

My atv dies when I hit winch out but works fine when I hit winch in what could that be

Would be helpful to see which end of the hydraulic is up and which end is down, shes literally standing in the way

I bought the Viper winch, but the manuals don't show how to connect the remote control or how to connect the winch not to drain the battery As a company, why do not make videos of your complete manuals

What trouble shoot ?…

Is this glass tempered

Very good video. One thing - connect the negative last and remove it first. That way it will NOT arc.

What will I do when the winch is working but when I load it on the truck it loses power

Perfect, thanks!! So much clearer than the dozens of other videos on KZbin.

My winch pulsates on up on wireles remote only.wired switch works fine what can i do to fix ir

I'm a new ATV owner, I just bought a used 2005 Polaris sportsman 700 and the winch doesn't work. I find alot of videos on guys showing things that might be wrong but no videos on "how to" do anything on the winch. Anything electrical to me just leaves me in the dust. How do I replace a switch? How do I find a cilinoid and replace it? I didnt even know you could replace the motor. But I liked your video tho, I just need more replacing things video

Do the ears on the mount hang down further than the bottom of the commanders?

My winch moves up and down just fine. The problem I’m having is when I raise the plow as I’m driving it will slowly go back to the ground. Why won’t it stay up until I put the plow down?

I wish we had decent ATV/UTV trails to ride in southern Minnesota. We ride the ditches but there closed from April 1st to August 1st.

Thank you!

I have checked the motor and its OK, I have also fitted a new solenoid ... but the winch is still clicking!!

Watched your video at 8pm on January 15, 2024. Question: When engaging the IN button on the corded remote of the winch mounted on my side by side, I hear a click on the control box next to the battery, but nothing happens at the winch. Engaging the OUT button works the winch just fine. I also noticed that direct connecting jumpers from the battery to the winch to spool IN really heats up the jumper cables and the winch turns slower than when I reverse jump it to spool OUT. Any ideas?

Awesome. I know as much now as i did before i started watching. This was definitely not a demonstration video.

Do not arc arc the stud terminals you will burn the threads

So I guess you have to remove all your cable or rope from your winch to install the 12 foot piece from the kit, then when not plowing, spool your cable or rope back on?

Do you have a video on adjusting the new style of lift?

No sound, and the lack of detail when connecting the toggle wire is beyond maddening.

www is a great time. I have some videos on my channel. #westshoretrailriders

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this. Hope you guys come ride with us!

Are there any videos for the installation of the heater on an Rmax2 Wolverine? P.S. I am impressed by your attention to detail.

Perfect video thanks man

For people reading this later - solenoids fail to working intermittently. So you can get by sometimes if you open the solenoid give everything a wiggle and a tap and a little splash of wd40 and you are up and running again. Most likely a solenoid issue if it only works in one direction (unless your wiring is terrible)

Does anyone have the written instructions? Or a link to them. My hardware box got wet, and the instructions denigrated.

I tried a quick hitch but my flail mower PTO shaft will not work and it's 80% of my use, trying these next! Tractor supply has round bar so you can make a spreader bar on the cheap for each implement simply by cutting to length and bending the ends.

I put a winch on my 2015 Polaris Sportsman now it don't have power to my key or lights

this is good to know. I need a hole in my Dune buggy windshield for a hand w/s Wiper. This is nice to know....but I will leave it to the glass shop to do it but atleast I know it can be done. So to keep it cool you damn it up and keep filled with water...... smooth holes too..and step it up.

How does the V2 compare to the Elite? Looking for a new winch for my RZR 900.

I just installed the heater and we have problems to get coolant to heater core

You mentioned "this is how it comes in the package" mine came in pieces with nothing but an exploded diagram for instructions. I have had better instructions in a 50 dollar piece of furniture from Walmart. Bought the entire 6 piece set and im hoping the implements are easier to assemble than the life itself. Any chance theres a video for assembly anywhere?

Thanks

I still cannot get anything to happen even with a brand new winch, new battery, new solenoid and new rocker switch. I do know that the winch and battery are fine as they test ok separate so I guess the new solenoid or new rocker switch is bad? Also what are you connecting the red wire from the rocker switch up to - do you test it with connecting it directly to the positive battery terminal?

Great video I do have a question for you every once in a while seems my winch winds in a couple inches. All by itself with truck motor off.just enough to bend my front fold down license plate Holder. That’s how I noticed My winch was doing this.operates perfect when I’m using it with the remote and/or with the cable remote. I don’t understand the ghostly turning on and turning off by its self? I know weird right. Lol. Thanks in advance I know it’s an old post.😂

I know it's been a decade, but this is still relevant. Very simple way to make the test. Thank you.

I would love to see installation info for the hydraulic 1 point setup… I can’t find any info

then u cant use ur winch if u get stuck as i did, i needed to winch out

Have you ever dealt with the stealth winches. I've put jump leads on its spinning very slow. And the jump leads got warm any ideas. Apparently there a sealed unit reading the manual

Mine wasn't working in the down direction. I took the body panel off, released the contactor, and beat the crap out of it with a 1/2" wrench. Works like new!

Very helpful. I just ruined a windshield thinking you could just use a normal drillbit with lots of pressure. Live and learn!

So when i connected the cables it started to work until it stopped working. I still hear the clicking sounds it just stopped pulling in the winch. What could be the problem?

The fairlead will not fit on a Arctic Cat 2015 Prowler XT 700. You need the spacers to make it fit properly.

Useless video without seeing it installed

Show how to chang out the contacts. Thank you. Great video.

Hey, thanks for the video! Got me in a good direction. My winch isn’t working even with direct power and the clicking stopped too. Are both bad?
