Congratulations!

You have purchased the finest winch available in its service class. It features a

highly efficient 3 stage planetary gear set which transmits torque from a series

wound DC motor. A safe positive clutch allows free spooling for quick cable

deployment. An automatic load holding brake is designed to hold the fully

rated capacity of the winch. It was designed and manufactured to provide you

with the utmost in utility. As with any device that combines power and move-

ment in its use, there are dangers if improperly used. At the same time, there

are easier ways for getting the job done if certain precautions are taken first.

Please read this manual carefully. It contains useful ideas in obtaining the

most efficient operation from your Ramsey Winch and safety procedures you

need to know before beginning use. When you follow our guidelines for opera-

tion, your Ramsey Winch will give you many years of satisfying service.

Thank you for choosing Ramsey. You will be glad you have one working for

you.

Please note: Ramsey Patriot™ Profile series winches are designed for

front mount vehicle use. The winches are not designed for and should

not be used in industrial applications (car haulers/carriers, wreckers,

hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to be suitable for

such use. Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of winches for

industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory for further infor-

mation.

CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See Safety Precautions!

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. 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. Tips for Safe Operation A. Keep yourself and others a safe distance to the side of the cable when pulling under load.
PAGE 3
Techniques of Operation 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 don't overtake the winch line. Plan your pull. You can't always hook up and pull out in one step. Examine all the areas for anchoring possibilities as well as leverage situations, direction, and goal.

Installation The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and exclusively designed for vehicle-mounted, non-industrial applications. Any other applications will void warranty. It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat surface so that the three major divisions (the motor end, the cable drum, and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. It is recommended that Ramsey mounting kits be used to mount the winch.
PAGE 5
Electrical Connections and Operations When installing winch, connect labeled motor leads coming from solenoid assembly to appropriately marked motor terminals as shown at right. Tighten nuts on motor terminals securely then slip boots over connections. Attach solenoid ground wire to ground bolt located on bottom of motor (Winch ground wire is already installed to ground bolt on motor). Refer to figure lower right. Route battery cables up to battery. Connect red cable to positive (+) battery terminal.
PAGE 6
Maintenance All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of assembly. Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice. Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating oil. Inspect the cable for broken strands and replace if necessary. If the cable becomes worn or damaged, it must be replaced. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.

Troubleshooting Guide Condition Possible Cause MOTOR RUNS IN ONLY ONE Defective or stuck solenoid DIRECTION Correction Jar solenoid to free contacts. Check each solenoid by applying 12 volts to coil terminal (it should make an audible click when energized). Defective remote control switch Disengage winch clutch, remove remote control switch plug from the socket and jump pins at 8 and 4 o’clock. Motor should run. Jump pins at 8 and 10 o’clock. Motor should run.
