Bumper operation is passive; no controls required. Settings refer to accessory integration.
Winch Installation: Follow winch manufacturer's instructions for wiring and remote setup.
Light Wiring: Connect to ATV's electrical system using included harness; use switch for manual control.
Adjustments: Loosen bolts to reposition bumper if needed; retorque after adjustment.
Winch: Mount to pre-drilled holes; connect to battery via relay. Lights: Use brackets; wire to switch or existing lighting circuit.
