I have the exact same atv. Orange is such a rare colour. I haven't seen any other quad in orange madness. This video is fantastic. You really helped me out with my new winch install. Thank you
Does anyone know why we have to mount the winch upside down ? The bracket does seem to fit both ways but the second set of bolt holes in the raised part don’t seem to be needed for my installation and for some reason my OCD is nagging that the winch stickers I wont even be able to see need to be turned the right direction. LOL I’m sure theres some good reason it mounts bolts up but I would be interested if anyone knows. Thanks
Did you install a remote? If so where did you put it? I'm about to install a Superwinch LT3000 and it is somewhat different but the information you have supplied here is Going to be a great help... Thanks
NICE VIDEO, finally , someone who mentions the little pre wire that has to be connected to. The instructions that came with the winch DID Not even mention this connection. This install is even easier on the 2014 570 sportsman... thanks
on my 12 500ho, the ground is already connected and under the seat you will see the positive cable connected to ground just disconnect it from the loom and to the battery positive
Did you have to purchase a mount kit with the winch? Or did everything come with the kit? Also where did you order it from? Great video though, made it look pretty easy
Excellent video. I mounted the Polaris 2500 in about half an hour. Everything went well except it didn't work. I SPENT HOURS figuring out how I'm not getting power to the winch. Although I very much appreciate your video NOWHERE did you advise anybody about the fact that there is a wire that has to be connected to the battery. NOWHERE on the instructions does it mention this. Took 2 beers and a glass of wind thinking about it. But I saw it on another video. I thought I was going CRAZY. Thanks
Damn mines gonna be a pain to replace I have a front bumper that's warped from hitting a tree and the bracket is bent and my radiator is relocated and its snorkeled so.... Yay I can't wait
Those sportsmanH.Os look awesome I have a 550 XP and I'm trying to remove my winch but I wanna kinda know what I'm doing so I don't break anything that's why I'm watching this lol
This video is AWESOME. Thanks so much for uploading, I didn't even know the ATV was prewired. This is a great vid on how to PROPERLY install a winch. For those who don't know you can actually power aftermarket (non-polaris plug and play) solenoids using the accessory orange/white wire under the dust cover.
@@JP-ATVvery handy to know. I was just going to use the existing Polaris wires for my aftermarket (non polaris) winch. Luckily, the control box came with about 6' of already hooked up black and red wires. Great contribution to this awesome video
Yes its the same size as the battery cable and the same size as the one up front, look along the frame its zip tied and tucked in right behind the battery.
wait so you dont have to run a power cable or a ground cable? like say if you were hooking up an amp in a vehicle. like a cable from battery to contactor.
