Please note: Ramsey Patriot™ series winches are designed for
front mount vehicle use. The winches are not designed for and
should not be used in industrial applications (car haulers/carriers,
wreckers, hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to be
suitable for such use. Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of
winches for industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory
for further information.
CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See Safety Precautions!
