Rotating the Motor on your ATV
Winch

The ATV winch has the motor studs and leads
positioned on the end of the motor aligned ver-
tically. If you need to rotate the motor on your
ATV winch to gain clearance, you can rotate
the motor 90°. The motor studs will then be
aligned horizontally.

Before you begin:

Note: If you have installed the optional Brake
kit (P/N 256116) for the ATV winch, make sure
you have the Brake kit installation instructions
before proceeding. You will need to re-install
the Brake kit after you rotate the motor (step 6
on the following pages). Contact Ramsey if you
do not have your installation instructions.

1. Remove the cable from the drum. Turn the

clutch handle to Freespool and pull cable
off. Slide the end of the cable out of the
pocket next to the drum flange until the
cable anchor can be removed. Be sure to
keep the cable anchor for re-installing the
cable. Leave the clutch set to Freespool.

2. Disconnect the motor leads.

3. Remove the winch from its mounting chan-

nel. Place it on a sturdy, level workbench.

Set the winch down on the clutch end.

1. Remove the tie bar bolts and nuts. Pull tie

bars from between end bearings.

2. Lift the motor end off the drum and set

down with the motor end down. Make sure
the shaft, drum bushing and spring stay
with the drum.
