- Red small wire to large center post with large Red Cable is the power wire to the handheld controller or wireless receiver plug, and the large Red Cable is coming from the battery.
- Two black wires to the center small post would be ground
- The white (left hand small post) and the blue (right hand small post) are energized with positive to either retract or extend the winch.
When converting from the steel cable to the synthetic rope on the KW7.5RM, the consumer needs the following two items;
KWA14030, KW7.5RM Aluminum Hawse Fairlead
KVA10041S, 3/8" x 100', Synthetic Rope.
- Note this synthetic rope is rated up to 13,500 lbs.
- Synthetic rope is 3/8” dia. vs the 5/16” dia. Steel Cable that is stock on the KW7.5RM from Keeper.
- Synthetic Rope diameter could reduce the drum capacity storage.
- Synthetic Rope will need to be cut to fit Drum Capacity, about 28'.
Recommend installing the rope on the winch first and then measuring how long the tag end of the rope is not able to fit on the drum, measure the length hanging off drum when the drum is full. Then pull the rope off the drum and measure and cut that measured length off the bare end of the rope and reinstall the rope back onto the winch drum.
Modifications to a winch will void warranty.
Some people install a “Front Receiver Hitch” or a front bumper with a “Receiver Mount” in the bumper for this reason. Then the winch can be used to pull frontwards or backwards, for more versatility.
Questions and Diagnose Tools:
Does the winch/solenoid ONLY click when trying to power out? (Could be if powering IN if the symptom was the revere direction)?
- If the solenoid ONLY clicks in one direction and works perfect in the other direction, issue could be the solenoid need replacement.
- If the solenoid only clicks in both directions, double check ALL wire and cable connections.
- Double check the Battery is fully charged and has 12 volts and the amperage in the battery to power the winch.
Second diagnosing process to confirm if the solenoid needs replacement
-
- Change the White and Blue wire on the solenoid, (BE VERY CAREFULL) this will reverse the winch’s direction. OUT will now be coming IN and IN will now be going OUT. But this will confirm if the solenoid has a one directional pole/contact failure.
