Safety Precautions To Guard

Against Possible Injury.....

Tips for Safe Operation

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 the rated load. Do
not maintain power to the winch if the motor stalls.
Electric winches are for intermittent usage and
should not be used in constant duty applications.

J. Disconnect the remote control switch from the winch

when not in use.

K. 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 is accomplished by (wearing
gloves) holding the cable with one hand and the
remote control 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.

Don’t underestimate the potential danger in winching
operations. Neither should you fear them. Do learn the
basic dangers and avoid them.

Observe 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 tie bars 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 of 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 line
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 betwen
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. The

winch may make more noise when running in the
‘out’ direction under load. This noise should
decrease with use and is not detrimental to the winch
operation. 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.

For basic self-recovery, anchor to a tree or heavy rock.
When anchoring to a tree, always use a tree trunk
protector.

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.

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.

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.

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 owners manual is solely and
exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial
applications. All other applications will void warranty.

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.

CONTROL SWITCH
RECEPTACLE

Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with
winch.

NOTE: To ensure proper alignment of roller fairlead to
winch, position larger (1/2”) holes at top.

Attach winch to channel. Thread capscrews with
lockwashers through mounting holes in channel and into
winch feet (see FIGURE 1).

Substitution of attaching hardware items (bolts, nuts or
washers) different from those supplied with your winch
and mounting kit can lead to failure causing damage or
serious injury (use SAE grade 5 bolts or better and
torque to 44 ft.lbs.).

Operating Instructions

The clutch provides free spooling and clutch
engagement with cable drum. With the clutch
disengaged, the cable can be pulled off the drum by
hand. For winching in the load, the clutch must be
fully engaged with the drum.

To disengage the clutch, run the winch in the
reverse (Reel Out) direction until the load is off the
cable and the cable drum stops turning. Pull
outward on the clutch handle, rotate it to the
disengaged position and release. The clutch is now
locked out and the cable may be pulled off by hand.
(Note: If the clutch handle can not be pulled out, run
the winch momentarily in reverse to relieve pressure
on the clutch.) Warning: Do not attempt to

disengage the clutch when there is a load on the
cable.

To engage the clutch, rotate the handle to the
engaged position and release. Run the winch in
reverse until the clutch handle snaps fully in or until
the cable drum starts turning. At this point make
sure the clutch handle is all the way in. After the
clutch is fully engaged, the winch is ready for
winching in the cable.

Electrical Connections and
Operation

See the Installation Instructions for the Safety
On/Off switch, Part No. 282062 (12v) or 282063
(24v) as applicable, supplied with the winch, to
install the On/Off switch.

For normal self recovery work, your existing
electrical system is adequate. Your battery should
be kept in good condition. A fully charged battery
and proper connections are essential. Run the
vehicle engine during winching operations to keep
the battery charged.

Route battery cables up to battery. C

SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT DRAWN TAUT ACROSS
ANY SURFACES WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE
THEM

. Connect red cable to positive (+) battery

terminal. Connect black ground cable to negative (-)
battery terminal (See Figure 1).

The remote control switch is water proof. It has push
buttons on either side. Make sure the motor has
stopped fully before reversing. To actuate winch
simply plug remote switch into receptacle in cover of
winch. Run winch forward and reverse to check
connection and to determine winch operating
directions.

AUTION: BE

Snap appropriate “IN” and “OUT” disc into proper
thumb cavity. Do not leave switch plugged in

when winch is not in use.

Maintenance

Check monthly the action of the clutch, making sure
it is fully engaging and disengaging. If clutch is not
fully engaging, inspect clutch shifter assembly parts,
check for damage or excessive wear and replace as
necessary.

Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce
performance or may cause a short. Clean all
connections especially in the remote control switch
and receptacle. In salty environments use a silicone
sealer to protect from corrosion.

To minimize corrosion of the internal motor
components that may occur due to condensation,
power the winch in or out periodically. Energizing
the motor will generate heat, which will help
dissipate any moisture buildup in the motor. This
should be performed at periodic intervals (such as
with each oil change to your vehicle). Note: Refer to
the Troubleshooting Guide if the motor has been
submerged.

All moving parts in the winch are permanently
lubricated with Mobilith SHC 007 synthetic grease at
the time of assembly. Under normal conditions
factory lubrication will suffice.

Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating
oil. Inspect for broken strands and replace if
necessary. If the cable becomes worn or damaged,
it must be replaced.

Cable Installation

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. Insert the end of cable, opposite hook end,
under drum and into the ½” diameter hole in
drum barrel. Secure cable to drum barrel, using
setscrew furnished with winch. T

SETSCREW SECURELY

3. Carefully run winch in the “reel-in” direction.
Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the
cable onto drum, taking care to form neatly
wrapped layers.

Inspect the cable frequently. If the cable becomes
frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.
Cable and hook assemblies may be purchased from
a Ramsey distributor.
