Ramsey Winch PLAT-9500 - Manual (Page 4)

Installation
The winch shown in this owners 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.
Also available for mounting the Platinum 9500 are winch
mounting channels, short length (23.63") #408052 (black),
medium length (30.00") #408120 (black) and long length
(36.00") #408101 (black). It is recommended that Ramsey
mounting channel be used in all non-Ramsey mounting.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with
winch. Attach winch to channel. Place (4) flatwashers and
nuts into pockets of winch mounting feet and thread
capscrews with lockwashers through mounting holes in
channel and into hardware in 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).
