Ramsey Winch PATRIOT 9500 W_SYNTHETIC ROPE - Manual (Page 4)

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 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.
The Aluminum Hawse Fairlead included with the winch is
required for use with the synthetic rope.
NOTE: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of
equal design must be used.
Also available for mounting the Patriot 9500 are the fol-
lowing 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 aluminum hawse fairlead to channel using hard-
ware furnished with winch. Attach winch to channel.
Thread capscrews with lockwashers through mounting
holes in channel and into winch feet (see figure below).
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 rope through fairlead and attach hook. Use
clevis pin and cotter pin (see figure below).
The 10’ protective sleeve can be cut into two 5’ lengths
for greater flexibility in protecting the synthetic rope.
Remove the protective sleeve from the rope before cut-
ting into two lengths, use a cigarette lighter to fuse the
cut ends so they will not unravel, and then slide the two
pieces back on the rope.
