Ramsey Winch ATV-2500 (W_Brake) - Manual (Page 10)

4. Install the Mounting Arm (item #18-7) to the
Handle Bar Clamps using a 7/8” long #10
screw (item #18-10), shake-proof washer (item
#18-17), and locknut (item #18-3). Install the
shake-proof washer between the handle bar
clamps and the mounting arm. Do not tighten.
5. Install the Mounting Bracket (with rocker switch
attached) to the Mounting Arm Bracket using
a 3/4” long #10 screw, shake-proof washer,
and locknut. Install the shake-proof washer
between the mounting arm bracket and the
mounting bracket.
6. Tighten all screws for the handle bar clamps
and mounting brackets securely, positioning
the rocker switch as desired.
7. Route the Rocker Switch wire down the handle
bars to where the solenoid is mounted. Turn
the handle bars fully right and left to ensure
enough slack in the wire. Make sure wire is not
drawn taut across any surface that could dam-
age it. Use cable ties to anchor wire. Do not
connect wires to solenoid yet.
8. Push ATV Accessory wire and red wire from
switch into plastic splice (item #18-21). Fold
splice clip over itself and snap closed.

For clarification, see wiring schematics on pages
6-7. If installing the Wireless Remote Control,
install the solenoid according to the instruc-
tions in the Wireless Remote Control Installation
Instructions.
1. Connect Red Battery Lead between “A” termi-
nal on Solenoid and positive (+) vehicle battery
terminal.
2. Connect Black Motor Lead between #2 ter-
minal on motor and C terminal on solenoid.
Connect Black w/Yellow Stripe Motor Lead
between #1 terminal on motor and B terminal
on solenoid.
3. Connect Black Battery Lead to “E” terminal
on Solenoid and route to negative (-) vehicle
battery terminal but do not connect.
4. Plug black wire from switch into right terminal
(terminal above black with yellow stripe motor
lead). Plug Green wire from switch into left ter-
minal (terminal above black motor lead). If the
Wireless Remote is installed, unplug the wires
from the solenoid, connect the switch wires,
then plug the wires from the wiring harness
into the “piggyback” connectors above the
switch wires.
Finish Installation
1. Confirm that winch clutch is disengaged.
2. Connect negative (-) battery cable to vehicle
battery. Connect Black Battery Lead from
winch to negative (-) vehicle battery terminal.
3. With ignition switch OFF, press Rocker switch
to “OUT”—winch should not operate. If the
winch does operate with the ignition off, con-
firm that proper accessory wire from ignition
was spliced.
4. Spool a few feet of cable out by hand. Engage
winch clutch. Turn ignition switch ON and
press Rocker switch to “OUT”—winch should
spool cable out. If winch does not operate with
ignition on, check wiring against the schematic
on pages 6-7.
5. If winch spools cable IN instead of OUT, turn
off ignition and reverse black and green wires
on solenoid.
