This kit replaces an existing 24V permanent magnet motor on a Ramsey REP 8000 winch with a new series wound
motor. Refer to the parts list on page 4 for a complete list of items in this kit.

Before you begin, disconnect the solenoid battery leads from the battery and remove winch from mounting. Place
winch on flat work surface.

1. Disconnect motor leads and remove solenoid from motor and set
solenoid aside.

4. Apply grease (Moreplex NLGI 2 or equivalent) sparingly to
the I.D. of the drum bushing.
