Answer:

The hoist motor should have a connection box that allows cable entry. Your 12V cables should enter the weatherproof seal and connect to lugs in the connection box. Be sure to install sweat lugs on the battery cable for reliable connection. The positive terminal should be marked with a small + or with red. The negative with black or - If there is no negative terminal, the case will provide the battery return. You can also request installation manuals from the manufacturer. You mentioned Chicago. Do you mean Chicago Electric? That is a brand name of Harbor Freight. Their web site is below. In fact, I think I found the manual for your hoist/winch on the link below.
