SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 dis-
tance 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 han-
dling 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. A Ramsey Part No. 282053
battery disconnect switch in your
vehicle is recommended.
K. Do Not use winch in hoisting appli-
cations 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.

SAFE OPERATION TIPS
Tips for Safe Operation
Do not underestimate the potential danger in
winching operations. Neither should you fear
them. Do learn the basic dangers and avoid
them.
The uneven spooling of cable, while pulling a
load, is not a problem, unless there is a cable
pileup on one end of drum. If this happens,
reverse the winch to relieve the load and
move your anchor point further to the center of the vehicle. After the job is done you
can unspool and rewind for a neat lay of the
cable.
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, page 3.
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.
Remember, a minimum of 5 wraps of
cable around the drum barrel is necessary to hold the rated load.
If this is not practical, use a snatch
block and double line arrangement as
shown in the illustration, page 3. Neat,
tight spooling avoids cable binding.
Cable binding occurs when a cable
under load pulls down into the layer
below, becoming pinched between two
other wraps of cable. 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
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
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.
you hear your
Your winch will not only pull you up or ease
you down a steep grade, it will also pull another
vehicle or a load while your vehicle is anchored in
a stationary position. The following illustrations
show a few basic winching techniques.
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.
To double the pull, use 2-part line with snatch block and tie
off to chassis. Take out of gear.
For a solid anchor, bury a log with earth or sand or place it in
a deep ravine
3
For a direct pull of 2,000 lbs., hitch truck to a tree or solid
anchor, and take out of gear.

WINCH INSTALLATION / ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Installation
Winches shown in this owner’s manual are
solely and exclusively designed for vehicle
mounted, non-industrial applications. Use
in other applications will void warranty. It is
recommended that Ramsey Mounting Kits
be used to mount the winch. They are designed to align the winch and distribute up to
the full rated load correctly to avoid possible
damage to the winch or vehicle.
NOTE: If Ramsey Kits are not used, the
winch must be mounted to angles (3/8”
x 2 1/2” x 3” min) or in a frame with both
sides of the clutch housing and gear
housing bolted to the angles or frame.
See diagram below for recommended
mounting dimensions.
Note various thread
depths of mounting holes and use
correspondingly different bolt lengths for
proper mounting.

Substitution of attaching hardware items
(bolts, nuts, or washers) different from
those supplied with your winch mounting
kit can lead to failure causing damage or
serious injury. Use a socket head mounting
bolt on side with Spur Gear Housing (see
diagram) to prevent clearance prob lems.
Use SAE grade 5 bolts or better.
Electrical Connections and
Operations
For normal self recovery work, your existing
electrical sys tem is adequate. Your battery must be kept in good condition. Afully
charged battery and proper connections are
essential. Run the vehicle engine during
winching oper ation to keep battery charged.
Connect red cable from stud on plastic
solenoid cover on winch to positive battery
terminal. Important: Hold inner nut with
end wrench while tightening outer nut.
Connect black cable from negative battery
terminal to the motor isolated ground terminal. In applications where the chassis is
non-grounded, a jumper wire (#440315) will
be required between the winch and the motor isolated ground terminal. (See illustration below.)

CABLE INSTALLATION / OPERATING / MAINTENANCE
This ground is required to insure a suffi cient ground to operate the solenoid
assembly (see diagram below). A good
electrical ground is required for proper
performance. The remote control switch is
water proof and has push but ton stations
on either side. It is designed this way to
prevent quick winch reversals which lead to
solenoid failure. Make sure the winch motor has stopped fully before revers ing.
When fi rst setting up your winch, follow
the directions for inserting the proper “IN”
or “OUT” label in the thumb button. The
switch is also color coded to aid you in not
having to guess at the direction your winch
will run.
Cable Installation
1 Unwind cable by rolling it out along the
ground to pre vent kinking. Securely
wrap end of cable, opposite hook, with
plastic or similar tape to prevent fray ing.
2. Insert the end of the cable, opposite
hook end, under drum and into the
7/16” dia. hole in drum barrel. Secure
cable to drum barrel, using setscrew
furnished with winch. Tighten setscrew
securely.
3. Carefully run winch in the “reel-in” di rection. Keeping tension on end of
cable, spool all the cable onto drum,
taking care to form neatly wrapped lay ers.
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.
The RAM-LOK™ semi-automatic clutch
provides free spooling and clutch engagement with the 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 counterclockwise 90° and release.
The clutch is now locked out and the cable
may be pulled by hand. (NOTE: if the clutch
handle can not be pulled out, again run the
winch momentarily in reverse to relieve pressure on the clutch jaws.)
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
DISENGAGE THE CABLE DRUM
WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE
CABLE.
Operating Instructions
To engage the clutch, pull outward on the
handle, rotate it clockwise 90° 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. The plastic
plug in top of clutch housing may be removed, for inspection of clutch to assure
total engage ment. After the clutch is fully
engaged, the winch is ready for winching in
the cable.
Maintenance
Check monthly the action of the sliding
clutch, making sure it is fully engaging and
disengaging with the cable drum. With the
clutch in the engaged position, remove the
plastic plug in top of the housing and observe
if the clutch is fully engaging. If clutch is not
fully engaging, inspect the clutch shifter assembly parts, check for damage or excessive
wear and replace as necessary.
Observe the jaws on both the clutch and
cable drum, checking for rounding of the
driving faces. If rounding has occurred they
should be replaced immediately.

Page 8
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Spool the cable properly on the drum when storing between each usage. Check the oil
level in the gear boxes every six months. At the same time, check electrical connections
and mounting bolts - tighten if necessary.
Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.
Clean all connections, especially in remote switch receptacle. In salty environments
use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion.
Be sure the winch has plenty of battery power avail able.
Use 1/2 pint of SAE 20 for spur gear box. Apply cup grease to lube fi tting at top of clutch
housing. Should winch be submerged for a brief period, drain oil, fl ush and replace oil in
gear boxes, and grease all fi ttings (see Troubleshooting Guide on page 7).
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 dissipate any moisture buildup in the motor. This should be performed at periodic intervals (such as with each oil change to your vehicle).
Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating oil.
Inspect for broken strands and replace if necessary with Ramsey part number listed in
Parts List.
Install new cable per “Cable Installation” page 5.

SOLENOID TEST PROCEDURE
Steps to follow when testing current fl ow through DC solenoids. It should be noted that
when testing a 12 volt or 24 volt solenoid, the DC motor and battery must be of the same
voltage.
To test the solenoids: (See Figure 1).
1. Securely clamp a motor to a bench or work surface.
2. Attach a jumper wire from (A) terminal on the motor to one of the fi eld terminals on the
motor, (F-2).
3. Attach the other motor fi eld terminal (F-1) to one of the side terminals of the solenoid.
4. Ground the solenoid to the motor with a wire as shown.
5. Attach positive (+) battery wire to the opposite side terminal of the solenoid. Ground
the negative(-) battery wire to the motor isolated ground terminal.
6. Touch "hot" wire, from the positive battery terminal, to small terminal of the solenoid.
7. The motor should now be running if the solenoid is good. If not, make sure the motor
will run directly from the battery.
8. To test the upper contacts use the same hookup except use the top terminals. (See
Figure 2).
When the "hot" wire is touched to the small terminal the motor will stop operating. The
top terminals are normally closed; ie: connected, and the side terminals open, or not connected. When the solenoid operates, the top terminals are disconnected and the side
terminals are connected. Take care not to bring hot wires into contact with ground in
order to prevent electrical arcing.

TEST PROCEDURE for MOTOR
The Ramsey Winch motor is a 4 pole, 4 coil
series wound 12 volt or 24 volt DC motor.
The 4 pole, 4 coil feature provides high
torque at low speeds.
To test the motor to determine if it is functioning properly, fi rst securely fasten the motor
to a bench or work surface so it will not jump
or move around during test procedure (the
starting torque of motor is high).
1. Connect a jumper wire (at least a number
6 wire) from F-1 to A motor terminals (See
Figure1).
2. Attach a wire (at least a number 6 wire)
from positive(+) battery terminal to F-2
motor terminal. Ground negative(-) battery
terminal to motor isolated ground terminal
(See Figure 1).
Motor should now run.
To reverse the direction of rotation:
NOTE: Always attach battery wire solidly
to motor terminals. Make and break the
connection of the negative (-) battery terminal at the motor isolated ground terminal.
This avoids burning the motor terminals.
CAUTION: Do not run the motor for a long
period of time in fashioned above, because
the motor could become damaged. The
motor running idle on the bench will draw
55 amperes and must run free and easy.
If the ampere draw is more than 60 amps
and the motor runs rough or has a strange
sound, it should be replaced.
With the motor attached in place on a
winch (less cable on drum) the ampere
draw should be approximately 65 to 70
amps. If after following the procedure
outlined, the test on the winch signifi cantly
exceeds 70 amperes refer to your Owners
Manual for troubleshooting suggestions on
the mechanical portion of the winch.
1. Attach jumper wire from F-2 to (A) motor
terminals (See Figure 2).
2. Attach wire from positive(+) battery termi nal to F-1 motor terminal. Ground nega tive(-) battery terminal to motor isolated
ground terminal (See Figure 2).
