Please note: Ramsey Patriot™ series winches are designed

for front mount vehicle use. The winches are not designed for
and should not be used in industrial applications (car hau­lers/carriers, wreckers, hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not
warrant them to be suitable for such use. Ramsey makes a sepa­rate, complete line of winches for industrial/commercial use.

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).
