Quick Mount™ Platform Installation
The Quick Mount™ is solely and exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial applications. All other applications will void warranty.
The Quick Mount™ must be front mounted with a front receiver hitch available from Ramsey for selected vehicles. For rear mounting of the QM 5000, any standard Class III rear receiver hitch may be used. For rear mounting of the QM 8000 or QM 9000, a SurePull Class III rear receiver or equivalent with a 5,000 lb. minimum weight carrying rat­ing must be used. Receivers must not be recessed more than 1-1/4 inches from bumper face.
For front mounting, route quick connect battery power lead (kit #251053-5’ lg.) through grille, leaving connector on outside and connect red lead to positive(+) terminal and black lead to negative(-) terminal of battery. Secure cable under hood with cable ties.
For rear mounting connect battery power lead (#251021-20’ lg. or #251054-24’ lg.) as instructed above. Secure cable under vehicle away from moving parts and exhaust system. Terminate routing near the center of the vehicle at the rear. BE SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT DRAWN TAUT ACROSS ANY SURFACES WHICH COULD POSSI-
BLY DAMAGE THEM.
Secure Quick Mount™ in the receiver with the Ramsey locking pin. Connect quick disconnect from Quick Mount™ winch to battery power lead. Plug remote switch into receptacle on solenoid assembly.
