I picked up a used M12000 a couple days ago and installed it yesterday. As I was mounting it, I realized that I had a slight clearance issue. The clutch lever is oriented in a position opposite from the mounting feet. When mounted on the bullbar, this places the clutch lever toward the grill of the cruiser. When I rotate the lever up to the "spool out" position it interferes with the underside of the grill.
Lever Down:
Lever Up:
Can I unscrew all the allen nuts on the gear housing and rotate the clutch lever to any fixed position I want? If I rotate it all the way up to a vertical position I think it will hit the mounting bracket for my driving lights. The owners manual doesn't say whether or not you can reposition the clutch lever. Anybody else deal with this when they mounted their winch?
Top side with possible interference of light bracket:
I've only dealt with Ramsey winches or old upright Warn 8274 in the past, so this is new territory for me.
