Notice

Ramsey kits are designed for use with Ramsey Winches only.

Use or sale of kits for other winches or applications voids warranty.

Warning

Ramsey offers mounting kits and winches for various vehicles. In crash tests on a limited number of automotive manufacturer’s vehicles, winches/mounting kits, which have been properly mounted, have not interfered with air bag operation.

The user/customer, or their installer, must verify that the mounting kit does not interfere with the factory air bag sensors, which must not be relocated or modified in any way.

The user/customer should follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and those of a qualified mechanic to determine if the winching/mounting kit might interfere with the air bag operation. The user/customer should then determine the suitability of a winch/mounting kit on a particular vehicle.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE’S AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF THE WINCH/MOUNTING KIT IS NOT MOUNTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS.

DO NOT ATTACH TOW HOOK TO ANY PART OF MOUNTING KIT UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ATTACHING HARDWARE ITEMS (BOLTS, NUTS, OR WASHERS).

READ AND UNDERSTAND WINCH OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE WINCH. SEE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN WINCH OWNER’S MANUAL.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

1. RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DIRECTIONS AS IF SEATED BEHIND STEERING WHEEL.

2. ALL FASTENING HARDWARE MUST BE LOOSELY ASSEMBLED UNTIL DIRECTED TO TIGHTEN.

1. Remove vehicle bumper in order to access tow hooks and frame.

2. Remove tow hooks by removing (3) 12mm factory bolts.

3. Remove the three nuts on the underside of the blocker bar as

shown at lower right. Remove blocker bar.

On some models, to remove the blocker bar, remove the four bolts that hold the blocker bar to the bracket as shown below.

4. While bumper is still removed from vehicle, fasten upper support brackets (item #5 & #6) to vehicle bumper bracket as shown at right using factory hardware.

The outside edges of the upper support brackets should be 32 1/4” or less apart (see figure below).

Tighten bumper bracket hardware to proper torque before re-installing bumper to vehicle. Refer to Torque Value Chart for proper torque.

Note: The outer edges of the upper brackets should be 32 1/4” or slightly less apart and the inner edges of the lower brackets should be 32 7/8” or slightly more apart in order to attach the center unit to them. Because the mounting hardware for these brackets need to be tightened prior to attaching the center unit to them, make sure the spacing is correct before you tighten the mounting hardware. Once the bumper is re-installed, it will not be possible to adjust the mounting hardware for these brackets.
