RAMSEY HYDRAULIC PLANETARY WINCH MODEL RPH-10,000 PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY This manual contains useful ideas in obtaining the most efficient operation from your Ramsey Winch, and safety procedures one needs to know before operating a Ramsey Winch. Do not operate this winch until you have carefully read and understand the "WARNING" and "OPERATION" sections of this manual. WARRANTY INFORMATION Ramsey Winches are designed and built to exacting specifications.
WINCH MOUNTING ESSENTIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT OF PLANETARY WINCH COMPONENTS It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable drum and the gear-housing end) are properly aligned. Excessive bushing wear and difficulty in freespooling are usually symptoms of misalignment.
CABLE INSTALLATION A decal on the top of the end bearing indicates the spooling direction of the cable. Also, a letter “A” or “B” is stamped in the end bearing on the brake end indicating rotation. If the decal is damaged or unreadable, contact Customer Service for additional instructions to determine proper direction. 1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable, opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to prevent fraying. 2.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Refer to the performance charts below to properly match your hydraulic system to the winch performance. The charts consist of: (1) line pull (LB) first layer vs. working pressure (PSI) and (2) line speed, first layer (FPM) vs. flow (GPM). STATIC (solid line) refers to hoisting a suspended load from rest; DYNAMIC (dotted line) refers to maintaining the motion of a moving load. A cylinder spool directional control valve is recommended.
OPERATION The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make test runs before you actually use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember that you hear your winch, as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sounds of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Avoid conditions where load shifts or jerks occur, as they may indicate a dangerous situation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE CONDITIONS DRUM WILL NOT ROTATE AT NO LOAD POSSIBLE CAUSE Winch not mounted squarely, causing end bearings to bind up drum. CORRECTION Check mounting. Refer to WINCH MOUNTING page 2. Brake damaged. Inspect and replace brake. Gears damaged. Inspect and replace damaged gears.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE All parts of the oil-cooled automatic safety brake are bathed in oil. When the brake wears to the point that the load begins to drift, the brake can be adjusted as follows: 1. Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw (see drawing on page 10). 2. Increase the brake torque by turning the adjusting screw clockwise. CAUTION: Only 1/4 turn is usually required to adjust the brake. Over-tightening can cause overheating, and damage to the brake parts.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF RAMSEY WINCH MODEL RPH-10,000 DISASSEMBLY Remove breather plug and reducer (item #34 & #39) from winch. Drain oil from winch by removing plug (item #40). Remove motor (item #35), coupling (item #31) from winch by unscrewing capscrews (item #24). If coupling is being replaced, be sure spirol pin is installed. Tap motor lightly to disengage. Replace all o-rings and seals with new ones during re-assembly (order kit #246042).
Remove tie plates (item #13) from end bearings (items #7 & #8) by unscrewing capscrews (item #18), as shown. Slide motor end bearing (item #7) from drum (item #1) and drum from gear housing end bearing (item #8). Remove input shaft (item #12) from end bearing. Inspect teeth of gear (item #5) for signs of wear. If necessary replace gear by removing snap ring (item #47) and thrust washer (item #50). Slide new gear over splines of shaft and against snap ring on shaft.
Remove brake housing (item #9) from end bearing (item #8) by unscrewing (4) capscrews (item #23). Remove plate (item #12) and light assembly, if present. Remove gasket (item #33), coil spring (item #48), flat spring (item #3), retainer plate (item #11), composition brake discs (item #32) and cam plate (item #4). Remove hub (item #10) and brake shaft (item #55) with plug (item #42)-which is press-fitted in the hub I.D. Inspect the seal (item #37), inside of gear housing bore, and replace if necessary.
Remove o-ring (item #36) and bushing (item #15) from motor end bearing (item #7). Press new bushing onto end bearing and dip o-ring in oil and seat into groove of end bearing. Remove seal (item #45) from gear housing end bearing (item #8). Loosen nut (item #27) and remove nylon setscrew (item #22) and remove ring gear (item #6) from gear housing end bearing, if necessary. Remove bushing (item #16) from gear housing end bearing (item #8). Press new bushing (item #16) into place in end bearing.
Generously apply grease (MOBILITH SHC 007) to teeth of ring gear (item #6), teeth of planet gears in drum (item #1) and to bushing in end bearings (item #7 & #8). Apply grease to teeth of gear (item #5) and to splines of shaft (item #12). Place splined end of shaft into splines of hub in brake housing end bearing (item #8). Place drum over shaft and rotate drum to engage planet gears with output gear on shaft and ring gear in end bearing.
Before installing motor, check brake adjustment (refer to page 7, ADJUSTING THE BRAKE). Place splined end of coupling (item #31), with spirol pin installed, inside of motor end bearing housing (item #7) and slide over splines on end of input shaft. Place o-ring (item #38) around motor pilot. Mount motor (item #35) to end bearing by aligning key on motor shaft with keyway in coupling. Be sure that motor mounts flush to end bearing and that o-ring is set securely in place between motor and end bearing.
