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 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 intermittent usage and should not be used in constant duty applications.
J. Disconnect the remote control switch from the winch
when not in use. A Ramsey Part No. 282053 safety onoff 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.
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 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 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.
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.
For a solid anchor, bury a log with earth or sand or place it
in a deep ravine.
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.
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 9500 UT 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.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with
winch. 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 34
ft.lbs.).
Place end of wire rope through fairlead and attach cable
hook. Use clevis pin and cotter pin (see Figure 1).

Operating Instructions
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the wire rope
for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The clutch is operated by the shifter lever located on the gear housing end
of the winch as follows:
1. To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter lever to
the “DISENGAGED” position. Wire rope may now be
freespooled off the drum.
2. To engage the clutch, power winch motor to reel in cable.
The clutch will automatically engage and the clutch shifter
lever will automatically move to the “ENGAGED” position.
Note: Slight tension on the cable may be necessary to fully engage the clutch.
Note: Clutch may be manually engaged by manually moving the clutch lever to the “ENGAGED” position. Rotation
of the drum may be necessary to fully engage the clutch
manually.
Caution: Insure the clutch fully engages by observing clutch shifter lever position before winching.
Caution: Stay clear of clutch lever while clutch is
being automatically engaged. Disconnect the remote from the winch before operating the clutch
manually.
Electrical Connections and Operations
For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical system is adequate. Your battery must be kept in good condition. A fully charged battery and proper connections are
essential. Run the vehicle engine during winching operations
to keep battery charged.
Route battery cables up to battery.
Caution: Be 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 (-) terminal of battery (See
Figure 1).
Models Equipped with Push Button Remote Control Switch
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 control switch into receptacle in cover of winch. Run winch
forward and reverse to check directions. Snap appropriate
“IN” and “OUT” disc into proper thumb cavity. Do not leave
switch plugged in when winch is not in use.
Models Equipped with Wireless Remote Control
See Installation and Operating Instructions for Ramsey Universal Remote Control (OM-914057) included with the wireless remote.
Maintenance
All moving parts are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of assembly. Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice.
Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating oil. Inspect the cable for broken strands and replace if necessary.
If the cable becomes worn or damaged, it must be replaced.
Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance
or may cause a short. Clean all connections especially in
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 of your vehicle). Note:
leshooting Guide if the motor has been submerged.
Refer to the Troub-
Cable Installation
1. Unwind the new cable by rolling it out along the ground to
prevent kinking.
2. Remove old cable and observe the manner in which it is
attached to the cable drum flange.
3. Before installing the new cable assembly, securely wrap the
end of the cable with plastic tape or similar tape to prevent
fraying.
4. Position the cable drum so that the large 13/32” diameter
hole in the motor end drum flange is approximately on the
top.
5. Form a short bend (approximately 1/2” long) in the end of
the cable. Insert the bend into the 13/32” hole in the drum
flange and then carefully run the winch in the “reel in” direction approximately 3/4 revolution until the 1/4” diameter
threaded hole in the drum flange is on top.
6. Secure the cable to the drum flange using cable anchor and
capscrew shown in the parts drawing on page 8-9 (Item
nos. 41 and 24). Securely tighten the capscrew, but do not
over-tighten.
7. Wind 5 wraps of cable onto the drum. Wind on the rest of
the cable by pulling in a light load to keep the tension constant. Allow the cable to swivel by using a length of chain or
a swivel block between the cable hook and the load.
