Ramsey Winch BADGER 2500 W_WIRELESS REMOTE - Manual (Page 3)

Store the wireless remote control transmitter in
a safe place where it will not become damaged.
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 running. Never connect the hook back to
the cable. This causes cable damage. Always use
a sling or chain of suitable strength. Observe your
winch while winching. If possible, while standing at
a safe distance. If you use vehicle drive to assist,
stop and get out every few feet to assure the cable
is not piling up in one corner. Jamming cable can
break your winch.
When double lining during stationary winching, do
not attach tow hooks to winch mounting plate.
Since the greatest pulling power is achieved on the
innermost layer of your winch, it is desirable to pull
off as much line as you can for heavy pulls. If this
is not practical, use a snatch block and double line
arrangement.
Neat, tight spooling avoids cable binding which is
caused when a load is applied and the cable is
pinched between two other wraps of cable. If this
happens, alternately power the winch in and out a
few inches. Do not attempt to work a bound cable
under load, free by hand.
General Installation
The winch shown in this owners manual is designed
solely and exclusively for non-industrial applications.
All other applications will void warranty.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a
flat surface, with the cable underwound as shown in
the dimensional drawing below.
Tighten mounting bolts to 16 ft-lbs (22 Nm) torque.
C
AUTION : Supplied 7/8” long mounting bolts with
lockwashers are for a recommended winch mount-
ing plate thickness of 3/16”. If a different mount-
ing plate thickness is used, the bolt length must
be adjusted accordingly or damage to winch may
occur. Replacement bolts must be SAE Grade 5 or
equivalent.
