WINCH MOUNTING
ESSENTIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT OF PLANETARY WINCH COMPONENTS:
It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable
drum, and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. Excessive bushing wear and difficulty in freespooling are usually symptoms of misalignment.
In the as-installed condition, if the winch is mid-mounted, then at least one tie-plate must be attached to the mounting
feet at the bottom of the winch to maintain alignment. If the winch is foot mounted then at least one tie-plate must
remain mounted at midpoint of winch to maintain alignment. It is always preferred to used BOTH tie-plates in the final
installed configuration.
Angle Mounting Kit, P/N 251006 , is recommended for maximum ease in mounting the winch. The angle kit will allow
the winch to be mounted in upright or midmount applications and will meet the criteria of serving as a solid and true
mounting surface.
When mounting the winch with other than the recommended Ramsey Angle Kit, the mounting hole patterns described
in the Dimensional drawings on page 13 should be used. The mounting surface must be flat within .015 inch and sufficiently stiff to resist flexing. Winch is furnished with spacers and tie plates for side mounting. Consult Ramsey Engineering for foot mounting requirements.
NOTE: If angles or a steel plate are used in mounting winch, tie-plates provided with winch are to be attached to the
remaining mounting pads, whether they be side or foot.
* CAUTION: If longer bolts (minimum grade 5) are substituted to mount winch or to mount a roller guide at the
side mount pads, bolt length must be such as to allow a minimum of .50 inch thread length engagement in the
tapped holes in side of each end bearing. Refer to page 13. Use of excessive length bolts will damage the winch
and prevent freespool of the drum. Torque bolts to 55 ft-lbs. (75 Nm).

CABLE INSTALLATION
An “A” or “B” decal on the clutch end bearing indicates the spooling direction of the cable. Also, a letter “A” or “B” is
stamped in the end bearing on the clutch end indicating rotation direction. If the decal is damaged or unreadable,
contact Customer Service for additional instructions to determine proper direction. To reverse the rotation direction,
exchange positions of the cartridge and plug shown below.
1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite hook, with
plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying.
2. Place taped end of cable into hole in cable drum as shown below. Use the 3/8-16NC x 1/2” long hex socket drive
setscrew (included with drum assembly item #1) to secure cable to drum.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in" direction. Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the cable onto the cable
drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
After installing cable, check freespool operation. Disengage clutch and pull on cable at a walking speed. If cable
“birdnests”, loosen jam nut (item #22) and turn nylon setscrew (item #18) clockwise to increase drag on drum. If
cable pull is excessive, loosen nylon setscrew by turning counterclockwise. Tighten jam nut when proper setting is
obtained. CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING OF JAM NUT MAY STRIP NYLON SETSCREW

OPERATION
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you actually use it. Plan
your test in advance. Remember, you hear your winch as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sounds of a
light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Avoid conditions where load shifts or
jerks occur, as they may indicate a dangerous situation.
The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling the load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable pileup on one end of
the drum. If this happens, reverse the winch to relieve the load, and move your anchor point further to the center of
the vehicle. After the job is done you can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the cable.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket, jacket, and tarpaulin over the cable about five or six feet behind the hook.
In the event of a broken cable, this will slow the snap back of the cable and could prevent serious injury.
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the cable, from the cable drum, for hooking onto the load. The clutch is
operated by the clutch shifter lever or air shifter.
WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH UNDER LOAD!
MANUAL CLUTCH SHIFTER (Refer to dimensional drawing page 13):
TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH: Run the winch in the reverse (reel out) direction until the load is off the cable. Pull handle
out and rotate 90°. With handle in the “DISENGAGED” position, cable may now be free-spooled from the drum.
TO ENGAGE CLUTCH: Pull handle out, rotate 90° and release handle. Run the winch in reverse until the clutch handle
snaps fully into the “ENGAGED” position. DO NOT attempt to pull a load unless the handle is fully at the “ENGAGED”
position.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the cable for damage and lubricate frequently. If the cable becomes frayed with broken strands, replace
immediately. Cable and hook (150’ long cable) P/N 524119 may be purchased from a Ramsey distributor.
2. Check that the clutch is fully engaging. See OPERATION instructions, above, for the appropriate clutch shifter. FOR
MANUAL CLUTCH ONLY: Monthly, disengage clutch, put several drops of oil on the clutch handle shaft and work
clutch handle IN and OUT several times to lubricate inside the shifter assembly.
3. Check to see that the drum cable does not overrun (“birdnest”) when freespooling. Refer to page 3 if it does.
4. Replace drum bushings and seals if seals begin to seep grease. Refer to the Overhaul Instructions, pages 7-12.
Add additional lubricant, Mobilith SHC 007, to gears and drum bearings if required.
