NOTICE

Ramsey kits are designed for use with Ramsey Winches only.

Use or sales of kits for other winches or applications voids warranty.

WARNING

Ramsey offers mounting kits and winches for various vehicles. In crash tests on a limited number of
automotive manufacturer's vehicles, winches/mounting kits, which have been properly mounted, have not
interfered with air bag operation.

The user/customer, or their installer, must verify that the mounting kit does not interfere with the factory air bag
sensors, which must not be relocated or modified in any way.

The user/customer should follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and those of a qualified
mechanic to determine if the winch/mounting kit might interfere with the air bag operation. The user/customer
should then determine the suitability of a winch/mounting kit on a particular vehicle.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE'S AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF THE
WINCH/MOUNTING KIT IS NOT MOUNTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S
RECOMMENDATIONS.

DO NOT ATTACH TOW HOOK TO ANY PART OF MOUNTING KIT UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ATTACHING HARDWARE ITEMS (BOLTS, NUTS, OR WASHERS).

READ AND UNDERSTAND WINCH OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF WINCH. SEE WARNING
AND CAUTION.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

1. RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DIRECTIONS AS IF SEATED BEHIND STEERING WHEEL.

2. ALL FASTENING HARDWARE MUST BE LOOSELY ASSEMBLED UNTIL DIRECTED TO TIGHTEN.

Step 1

Note: It is not necessary to remove the vehicle bumper to install this mounting kit.

Locate the three M12 bolts that secure the vehicle tow hook. They are located on either side and on the bottom of the
tow hook (Figure 1). Remove and discard the inside and bottom tow hook bolts only.

Step 2

YOU WILL NEED ASSISTANCE FOR THIS STEP.

Have someone hold the QM Front Receiver #5 in place between the two vehicle tow hooks (Figure 2). Insert (1) M12
x 1.75 x 50 mm bolt #1 through (1) ½” lockwasher #2, then through the “ear” of the receiver #5, the vehicle frame,
and into the threaded hole in the vehicle tow hook (Figure 3). Repeat for opposite side of vehicle.

Note: It may be necessary with some models to use ½” flat washers
#3 as spacers between the Front Receiver and the frame.
