Ramsey Winch ATV-2500 - Manual (Page 13)

Manual Switch Operation
Rotation of the switch clockwise spools cable
“IN” and counterclockwise spools cable “OUT”.
Manual Switch Installation
The Remote Mounted Manual Switch can be
mounted at any convenient location on the ATV
that is close enough to the winch so that connec-
tions can be made without altering wire lengths.
Before Beginning Installation
1. Install mounting kit and winch according to
the mounting kit instructions.
2. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable
from battery.
3. Disengage winch clutch.
4. Remove hood or cowling as necessary for
easier access to installation area.
5. Locate and mark mounting locations for
Manual Switch and Solenoid Assembly.
6. Locate accessory wire from vehicle ignition
switch that is powered only when ignition is
ON. Use this wire when splicing to solenoid.
7. Make sure locations are close enough for
wiring connections to be made without mak-
ing alterations to wire lengths.
Solenoid Mounting: Choose a mounting location
that will remain protected and dry. Solenoid must
be mounted within 24” of vehicle battery.
Solenoid should be mounted on a flat surface. A
good location where possible is under the seat
next to the battery.
Connect Wiring to the Remote Mounted
Manual Switch
For clarification, see wiring schematic on page
