INSTRUCTIONS FOR RAMSEY
UNIVERSAL WIRELESS REMOTE
CONTROL FOR ATV WINCHES
KIT #’S 251203, 251204,
251205, & 251206
Warnings
1. THE RAMSEY UNIVERSAL WIRELESS REMOTE FOR ATV WINCHES IS
DESIGNED FOR USE ON SELF
-RECOVERY WINCHES ONLY. THE REMOTE IS
NOT DESIGNED FOR AND SHOULD NOT BE USED ON WINCHES OR HOISTS IN
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
(CAR HAULERS/CARRIERS, WRECKERS, CRANES,
ETC.) OR FOR ANY OTHER REMOTE CONTROLLED APPLICATION.
2. W
HEN REELING IN CABLE UNDER NO LOAD, RELEASE THE REMOTE BUTTON
WHEN THE HOOK IS A MINIMUM OF
3 FT (1 M) FROM THE WINCH FAIR-
LEAD. CAREFULLY JOG THE REMOTE CONTROL BUTTON UNTIL THE HOOK IS A
MINIMUM OF
1 FT (.3M) FROM THE FAIR-LEAD. DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH
AND FINISH SPOOLING IN CABLE BY ROTATING THE DRUM BY HAND
.
3. When finished winching, turn transmitter off.
4. Do not pressure wash or steam clean the receiver. This can damage the receiver and adversely affect operation.
5. Refer to winch owner’s manual for all winch operating instructions and warnings.
The following are general installation instructions. Actual
installation may vary depending on the ATV manufacturer
and model.

Before Beginning Installation
1. Disconnect power lead from winch to battery.
2. Disengage winch clutch.
3. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for easier access to installation area.
4. Locate & mark mounting locations for receiver, toggle switch, solenoid
assembly, & antenna.
NOTE:
Make sure locations are close enough for wiring connections to be
made without making alterations to wire lengths. Solenoid assembly
will be mounted to tube frame of ATV using supplied tube clamps,
except for Polaris models which mount directly to the ATV crossmember under hood, using supplied mounting screws.
Antenna will need a space of at least 15” wide under cowling or hood
for mounting in the horizontal configuration required for best reception. Antenna is flexible and will follow the contour of the cowling or
hood. The antenna should be mounted at least 10” from winch motor
and battery leads.
Installing the Receiver
1. Insert plastic tie through mounting ears on receiver and secure receiver to
location determined above.
2. Tighten plastic tie and clip excess.
3. Attach ground wire to ATV frame.
CAUTION: Do not alter the length of the ground wire as this will affect
performance of the remote.
4. Attach wiring harness to receiver & route yellow and green wires to solenoid
location.
Installing the Ring Terminals
1. Remove rocker switch assembly from handlebar.
2. Disconnect wires from rocker switch.
3. Cut spade terminals off ends of battery and motor leads.
4. Slip rubber boots over ends of wires and install supplied ring terminals in
place of spade connectors.
5. Route wires to location where solenoid will be mounted.
2
NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.
1. Attach black with yellow stripe motor lead to lower right terminal stud
“B” on solenoid.
2. Attach black motor lead to lower left terminal stud “C” on solenoid.
3. Attach connector with 2 yellow wires to the terminal directly above the
black with yellow stripe motor lead.
4. Attach connector with 2 green wires to the terminal directly above the
black motor lead.
5. Attach black battery lead to upper left terminal stud “E” on solenoid.
6. Attach red battery lead to upper right stud “A” on solenoid.
Connecting Wiring to Solenoids
Installing the Solenoid
1. Mount solenoid in location determined previously.
2. Secure using (1) tube clamp, (1) #10-24 screw, (1) flat washer, and (1)
lock nut each side of solenoid assembly.
CAUTION: Be sure that no wire connections are in contact with
either the ATV frame or with each other as a direct short will
occur.
Installing the Toggle Switch
1. Route red, yellow, and green wires to toggle switch location .
2. Drill 1/2” hole in location for toggle switch installation.
3. Insert switch through hole in drilled in previous step.
4. Place directional plate over switch and secure using hex nut. Make sure
directional plate is installed in the same direction as the toggle switch
operates.
5. Place rubber boot over switch and tighten securely.

NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.
1. Connect red wire to center spade.
2. Connect green wire to the toggle switch terminal in the “OUT” position.
3. Connect the yellow wire to the toggle switch terminal in the “IN” position.
1. Locate accessory wire from ATV ignition.
NOTE: Accessory wire should have 12 volts only when ignition
key is on.
2. Cut spade connector off and connect red wire from receiver to accessory wire using supplied quick splice connector.

Installing the Antenna
NOTE: For clarification see wiring schematic on page 5.
1. Clean predetermined mounting surface with Isopropyl alcohol and buff
dry. (In ATVs without hoods the best place to mount the antenna will be
the underside of the ATV cowling in the highest possible position.)
2. Remove backing from top side of double-stick tape and apply to back
side of pc board. Remove backing from other side of double-stick tape
and position pc board in center at the predetermined mounting location
on inside surface of cowling or hood.
3. Remove backing from copper tape. Carefully affix tape to terminal on
right side of pc board and follow contour of inside of cowling. DO NOT
ALTER LENGTH OF THE TAPE. Repeat for left side.
4. Route coax cable up from receiver to antenna and plug in at pc board.

1. Reconnect the positive power lead from
solenoid to battery.
2. Pull approximately 20 ft of cable off the
winch by hand.
3. Re-engage the winch clutch.
4. Test the remote transmitter. The transmitter has push buttons labeled according to their function. To turn the transmitter on, hold “ON/OFF” button down
for 2 seconds. (LED will flash, 1 flash indicates transmitter is “ON”, 2 flashes indicate transmitter is “OFF”).
5. Run winch in the “OUT” direction briefly. Make sure the motor has stopped
fully before reversing to prevent premature solenoid failure. Run winch in the
“IN” direction briefly.
6. Follow instructions in your winch owner’s manual for properly reeling in the
rest of the cable. The transmitter is clearly labeled and a red LED flashes
when the winch is in operation. To turn transmitter off, press and hold the
“ON/OFF” button for 2 seconds to disable the transmitter when winch is not
in use. This will prolong the battery life of the transmitter. The transmitter
automatically turns off after 20 minutes.
PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER FOR USE WITH A REPLACEMENT TRANSMITTER
When you purchase a replacement transmitter, it will be necessary to reprogram
your receiver to accept the code for the new transmitter. To reprogram the
receiver, press and hold membrane located in the center of receiver face (area
marked “PUSH”). Press and hold “ON/OFF” button on transmitter for 3 seconds.
Press and hold “OUT” button for 3 seconds or until winch activates.
CAUTION: The center membrane area of the receiver face must only be pressed
when programming a new transmitter.

1. Reconnect the positive power lead from
solenoid to battery.
2. Pull approximately 20 ft of cable off the
winch by hand.
3. Re-engage the winch clutch.
4. Test the remote transmitter. The transmitter has push buttons labeled according to their function. To turn the transmitter on, hold “ON/OFF” button down
for 2 seconds. (LED will flash, 1 flash indicates transmitter is “ON”, 2 flashes
indicate transmitter is “OFF”).
5. Run winch in the “OUT” direction briefly. Make sure the motor has stopped
fully before reversing to prevent premature solenoid failure. Run winch in the
“IN” direction briefly.
6. Follow instructions in your winch owner’s manual for properly reeling in the
rest of the cable. The transmitter is clearly labeled and a red LED flashes
when the winch is in operation. To turn transmitter off, press and hold the
“ON/OFF” button for 2 seconds to disable the transmitter when winch is not
in use. This will prolong the battery life of the transmitter. The transmitter
automatically turns off after 20 minutes.
WARNING: Unplug remote adapter cable when not in use.

receiver, press and hold membrane located in the center of receiver face (area
marked “PUSH”). Press and hold “ON/OFF” button on transmitter for 3 seconds.
Press and hold “OUT” button for 3 seconds or until winch activates.
