Ramsey Winch ATV-3000 W_MINI ROCKER SWITCH - Manual (Page 2)

Safety Precautions To Guard
Against Possible Injury.....
A. Keep yourself and others a safe distance to
the side of the cable when pulling under
load.
B. Do not step over a cable, or near a cable
under load.
C. Use supplied hook strap when handling
hook for spooling wire rope.
D. Do not use the ATV to pull a load on the
winch cable. This could result in cable
breakage and/or winch damage
E. Use a heavy rag or gloves to protect hands
from burrs when handling winch cable.
F. Apply blocks to wheels when ATV is on an
incline.
G. Winch clutch should be disengaged when
winch is not in use and fully engaged when
in use.
H. Modification, alteration, or deviation to the
winch should only be made by Ramsey
Winch Company.
I. Keep the duration of your pulls as short as
possible. If the motor becomes uncom-
fortably hot to the touch, stop and let it
cool for a few minutes. Do not pull more
than one minute at or near the rated load.
Do not maintain power to the winch if the
motor stalls. Electric winches are for
intermittent usage and should not be used
in constant duty applications.
J. Do not use winch in hoisting applications
due to required hoist safety factors and
features.
K. Do not exceed maximum line pull ratings
shown in tables. Shock loads must not
exceed these ratings.
L. To respool correctly, it is necessary to keep
a slight load on the cable. Do not allow the
cable to slip through your hand and do not
approach the winch too closely. When all
the cable except a few feet is in, stop and
finish spooling in cable by rotating the
drum by hand with clutch disengaged.
Always use hook strap to hold hook when
spooling.
Tips for Safe Operation
Don't underestimate the potential danger in
winching operations. Neither should you fear
them. Do learn the basic dangers and avoid
them.
Observe spooling of cable onto drum. Side
pulls can cause cable to pileup at one end of
the drum. To correct uneven stacking, spool
out that section of the cable and move it to the
other end of the drum and continue winching.
Uneven spooling which causes cable pileup
can interfere with the winch tie rods causing
damage to the winch.
Store the wireless remote control transmitter in
a safe place where it will not become dam-
aged. Inspect it before you use it.
When ready to begin winching, push and hold
the On/Off button on the transmitter until it
flashes. Do not engage clutch with motor run-
ning.
