For the Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch # 1120210 we currently sell that winch kitted with the upgraded switch kit. This switch kit would attach to the handle bars on your ATV that you were using the winch on.
If you are talking about the hand held remote for the Superwinch LT2000, it is no longer available from the manufacturer.
To wire up the hand held remote you would route both the red and black wires from the winch to the remote, and from remote to the battery. Next install a circuit breaker on the battery side of the red wire. This will connect to the positive battery terminal, the black wire will install to the negative battery terminal. I have included a diagram showing this for your reference.
If you are wanting to install with the upgraded switch kit, you will route the red and black wires from the winch to the solenoid. Then from the solenoid the black and green wires will connect to the switch, and the ignition of your ATV. Also connected to the solenoid are the red and black wires to the battery. Please note that a circuit breaker is included and required to be installed between the positive battery terminal and the solenoid. I have also included a diagram showing this installation for your reference.
I will be sending you a separate e-mail that will have both of the installation instructions options attached for you reference.
I have included a short video showing the installation on a 2012 Polaris Sportman with the upgraded switch kit for your reference.
