Notice

Ramsey kits are designed for use with Ramsey Winches only.

Use or sale 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 sen-

sors, 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 winching/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 RECOMMEN-

DATIONS.

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 THE WINCH.

SEE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN WINCH OWNER’S MANUAL.

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