Also available for mounting the Patriot 6000, 8000, and
9500 are the following winch mounting channels:
• #251126 short length (23.63”) black
• #251127 medium length (30.00”) black
• #251128 long length (36.00”) black
It is recommended that Ramsey mounting channels be
used with all non-Ramsey mounting.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with
winch. Attach winch to channel. Thread capscrews with
lockwashers through mounting holes in channel and into
winch feet (see Figure 1).
Substitution of attaching hardware items (bolts, nuts or
washers) different from those supplied with your winch
and mounting kit can lead to failure causing damage or
serious injury (use SAE grade 5 bolts or better and
torque to 34 ft.lbs.).
Place end of wire rope through fairlead and attach cable
hook. Use clevis pin and cotter pin (see Figure 1).
Installation
The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and
exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial
applications. All other applications will void warranty.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat
surface so that the three major sections (the motor end,
the cable drum, and the gear housing end) are properly
aligned. It is recommended that Ramsey kits be used to
mount the winch. They are designed to align the winch
and distribute up to the full rated load evenly, to avoid
possible damage to the winch or vehicle.
NOTE: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of
equal design must be used.
