Series Winches: Vehicle Recovery and Pulling of Loads.
CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See 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 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 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 two minutes 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 safety on-off switch in your vehicle is required.
K.Do Not use winch in hoisting applications due to required hoist safety factors and features.
L.An overload device is required to prevent winch from exceeding maximum line pull ratings shown in tables.
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 cable in under power using supplied hook strap.
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. If this is not practical, use a snatch block and double line arrangement as shown in the illustration, page 3. 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. 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
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 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.
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 do not overtake the winch line. Plan your pull. You can not always hook up and pull out in one step. Examine the area 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.
For a solid anchor, bury a log with earth or sand or place it in a deep ravine
For a direct pull of 2,000 lbs., hitch truck to a tree or solid anchor, and take out of gear.
To double the pull, use 2-part line with snatch block and tie off to chassis. Take out of gear.
Winches equipped with cable guide fairleads can pull from several directions. Pull from an angle only to straighten up the vehicle-other- wise you can damage structural members or other parts of your vehicle and cause excess cable buildup on one end of the winch drum.

Installation
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 REP 6000T and REP 8000T are winch mounting channels, short length (23.63”) #408052 (black), medium length (30.00”) #408120 (black), and long length (36.00”) #408101 (black). It is recommended that Ramsey mounting channels be used in all non-Ramsey mounting.
When mounting REP 6000T and REP 8000T winch, attach solenoid wires to motor terminals at end of motor. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS SECURELY (see FIGURE 1).
Attach solenoid to mounting holes at end of long channel (see FIGURE 1) or use solenoid clamp to attach solenoid assembly to winch motor (see FIGURE 2). Position solenoid at about a 45 degree angle for clearance of lower winch guard tube of kit. TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with winch (SEE figure 3). Attach winch to channel. Place (4) flatwashers and nuts into pockets of winch mounting feet and thread capscrews with lockwahers through mounting holes in channel and into hardware in winch feet (see FIGURE 3).
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 drum cable through fairlead and attach cable hook. Use clevis pin and cotter pin (see FIGURE 3).
