Hello Steven.

I am not familiar with that brand as we do not carry it. I know that with our Bulldog winches there are different options to how you would like to hook it up. Like the # BDW66FR comes with one positive wire to run to the battery and then unit grounds itself through the mounting. With the # BDW66FR you could always add another wire to use it with a stand alone battery.

The Bulldog Winch Heavy-Duty Series Off-Road Winch # BDW94FR comes wired ready to hook up to a stand alone battery.

With that being said, I would reach out to the manufacturer of the winch that you have so that they can suggest modification of their product as they are familiar with all the specifications.
