Overview
The Warn ZEON 10 is a 10000 lb electric winch, catalogued as model 88990 with UPC 12748889908. Warn presents the ZEON line as its next generation of winches, pairing a rugged design with upgraded internal components for trucks and SUVs that need steady, dependable pulling power.
The ZEON 10 uses a new-design planetary geartrain at 216:1 and a series-wound 12V motor, which delivers fast, quiet and reliable pulling power. The control pack can be attached to the winch or mounted remotely. Remote mounting requires a relocation kit, which is not included. The aluminum drum reduces rope wear and has an integrated rope anchor.

Preparing for a recovery
A good recovery starts before the rope comes off the drum. Pick a solid anchor point, such as a tree or a second vehicle with its own winch, and keep the rope path clear of rocks and brush. Set the winch to pull in a straight line where possible, because a steep angle loads the fairlead and mount harder than the pull itself.
Once the winch is working, keep people out of the rope’s path and watch the drum as it spools. Stop if the rope is building unevenly or the motor sounds strained. Clean and inspect the rope afterward, and check the fairlead and mounting bolts before the next trip.
- Choose a solid anchor point before spooling out
- Keep people clear of the rope path
- Check fairlead and mounting bolts after each recovery

Vehicle fitment
The ZEON 10 is not tied to a particular year, make or model. Fit depends on the bumper or mount you use, so measure the space against the overall size before installing it.
It is suited to general truck and SUV use. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Choose the control pack position before mounting. A remote layout needs the relocation kit, which is sold separately. Route the remote lead and motor cable away from moving suspension parts, and keep hands clear of the rope and fairlead when the winch is loaded.
