Safety Precautions
To Guard against Possible Injury...
A minimum of five wraps of cable around the drum
barrel is necessary to hold the rated load. Cable
clamp is not designed to hold the load.
A. Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the
cable when pulling under load.
B. Do not step over a cable, or near a cable under load.
C. Use supplied hook strap when handling hook for spooling
wire rope.
D. Do not move the vehicle to pull a load on the winch cable.
This could result in cable breakage and/or winch damage.
E. Use a heavy rag or gloves to protect hands from burrs
when handling winch cable.
F. Apply blocks to wheels when vehicle is on an incline.
G. Winch clutch should be disengaged when winch is not in
use and fully engaged when in use.
H. Modification, alteration, or deviation to the winch should
only be made by Ramsey Winch Company.
I. Keep the duration of your pulls as short as possible. If the
motor becomes uncomfortably hot to the touch, stop and
let it cool for a few minutes. Do not pull more than one
minute at or near rated load. Do not maintain power to the
winch if the motor stalls. Electric winches are for intermit-
tent usage and should not be used in constant duty appli-
cations.
J. Disconnect the remote control switch from the winch
when not in use. A Ramsey Part No. 282053 safety on-off
switch in your vehicle is recommended.
K. NOTE: Do not use winch in hoisting applications due to
required hoist safety factors and features.
L. Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings shown in tables.
Shock loads must not exceed these ratings.
M. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep a slight load
on the cable. This can be accomplished by (wearing
gloves) holding the cable with one hand and the remote
control switch with the other, starting as far back and in
the center as you can, walking up keeping load on the
cable as the winch is powered in. Do not allow the cable
to slip through your hand and do not approach the winch
too closely. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure
until all the cable except a few feet is in. Disconnect the
remote control switch and finish spooling in cable by rotating the drum by hand with clutch disengaged. On hidden
winches, spool in cable under power using supplied hook
strap.
Tips for Safe Operation
Don’t underestimate the potential danger in winching operations. Neither should your fear them. Do learn the basic dangers and avoid them.
Observe the spooling of cable onto drum. Side pulls can
cause cable to pileup at one end of the drum. To correct
uneven stacking, spool out that section of the cable and move
it to the other end of the drum and continue winching. Uneven
spooling which causes cable pileup can interfere with the
solenoid housing causing damage to the winch.
Store the remote control switch inside your vehicle where it
will not become damaged. Inspect it before you plug it in.
When ready to begin spooling in, plug in remote control
switch with clutch disengaged. Do not engage clutch with
motor running.
Never connect the hook back to the cable. This causes cable
damage. Always use a sling or chain or suitable strength, as
shown in the illustration.
Observe your winch while winching, if possible, while standing at a safe distance. If you use vehicle drive to assist, stop
and get out every few feet to assure the cable is not piling up
in one corner. Jamming cable can break your winch.
Do not attach tow hooks to winch mounting apparatus. They
must attach to vehicle frame.
When double lining during stationary winching, the winch
hook should be attached to the chassis of the vehicle.
Since the greatest pulling power is achieved on the innermost
layer of your winch, it is desirable to pull off as much line as
you can for heavy pulls. If this is not practical, use a snatch
block and double the arrangement (see illustration).
Remember, a minimum of 5 wraps of cable around the drum
barrel is necessary to hold the rated load.
Neat, tight spooling avoids cable binding which is caused
when a load is applied and the cable is pinched between two
others. If this happens, alternately power the winch in and out
a few inches. Do not attempt to work a bound cable under
load, free by hand.

Techniques of Operation
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch
operates is to make a few test runs before you actually
need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember
you hear your winch as well as see it operate. Get to
recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull,
and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you
will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use
will become second nature with you.
Your winch will not only pull your vehicle up or ease your
vehicle down a steep grade, it will also pull another vehicle or a load while your vehicle is anchored in a stationary position. The sketches on this page show you a few
techniques.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket, jacket or tarpaulin over the cable five or six feet from the hook. It
will slow the snap back in the event of a broken cable.
Also, open the vehicle hood for additional protection.
Use the vehicle wheel power to help the winch, but don't
overtake the winch line. Plan your pull. You can't
always hook up and pull out in one step. Examine all the
areas for anchoring possibilities as well as leverage situations, direction, and goal.
For basic self-recovery, anchor to a tree or heavy rock.
When anchoring to a tree, always use a tree trunk protector.
Stakes driven in solid earth and chained together make a
good anchor point for self-recovery when no solid
anchor point is available.
For a solid anchor, bury a log with earth or sand or place
it in a deep ravine.
Winches equipped with cable guide fairleads can pull
from several directions. Pull from an angle only to
straighten up the vehicle-otherwise you can damage
structural members or other parts of your vehicle and
cause excess cable buildup on one end of the winch
drum.
For a direct pull of 2000 lbs., hitch truck to a tree or
solid anchor, and take out of gear.
To double the pull, use 2-part line and tie off to chassis.
Take out of gear.

Installation
The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial applications. All other applications will void warranty.
NOTE: For specific bull-bar applications, the shifter lever on
the winch may need to be repositioned. Refer to pages 7-8 for
instructions in how to do this.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable
drum, and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. It is
recommended that Ramsey kits be used to mount the winch.
They are designed to align the winch and distribute up to the
full rated load evenly, to avoid possible damage to the winch
or vehicle.
NOTE: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of equal
design must be used.
Also available for mounting the Patriot Profile 6000, 8000,
9000 and 9500 are the following winch mounting channels:
• #251126 short length (23.63”) black
• #251127 medium length (30.00”) black
• #251128 long length (36.00”) black
It is recommended that Ramsey mounting channels be used
with all non-Ramsey mounting.
For mounting the winch with a standard mounting channel,
such as those available from Ramsey, use (4) 1-1/4” long
mounting bolts as shown below.
* In specific Bull Bar installations, (2) 1-3/4” long bolts
(included) may need to be substituted for 1-1/4” bolts to
mount the winch properly. Refer to Detail A below: if the
mounting thickness (dimension A) is .25” or less, use 11/4” long bolts. If dimension A is greater than .25”, you
should use 1-3/4” long bolts. If dimension A is between
.25” and .56”, washers may need to be added to the 13/4” bolts to prevent the end of the bolt from hitting the
winch foot, as shown in Detail B.
Do not use the longer bolts unless needed. Using bolts
that are too long may cause damage to the winch. After
tightening mounting bolts, confirm that they have sufficient
clearance (see Detail B) above the end of the bolt. Some
thread should be visible above the nut.
** For mounting to Bull Bar, the roller fairlead may need to
be rotated 180° to ensure proper alignment to drum.
