Ramsey Winch PATRIOT PROFILE 12000 - Manual (Page 4)

Installation
The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and
exclusively designed for vehicle-mounted, non-industrial
applications. Any other applications will void warranty.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat
surface so that the three major divisions (the motor end,
the cable drum, and the gear housing end) are properly
aligned. It is recommended that Ramsey mounting kits
be used to mount the winch. They are designed to align
the winch and distribute 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.
To mount the winch with a standard Ramsey mounting
kit, use the mounting hardware provided with the winch.
Mount as shown below.
Install fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with
winch before installing winch. Once fairlead is installed,
install winch. Tighten all bolts to 44 ft-lbs. torque.
Substitution of mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, or wash-
ers) different than those supplied with your winch and
mounting kit can lead to failure causing damage or seri-
ous injury. Always use SAE Grade 5 or better bolts.
Place end of wire rope through fairlead and attach cable
hook. Use clevis pin and cotter pin.
The solenoid assembly can be mounted remote from the
winch or using the included Solenoid Mounting Bracket.
To mount solenoid assembly using the included Solenoid
Mounting Bracket, attach bracket to tie bar using (1) 1/4-
20NC x 1” capscrew in place of the 3/4” tie bar cap-
screw. Install bracket to bottom of solenoid using includ-
ed hardware. Refer to figure on opposite page.
