Ramsey Winch REP-5000 (SERIES WOUND MOTOR) - 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 a recommended mounting kit is not
used, a kit of equal design should be used.
The following winch mounting channels are
available for mounting the REP 5000 winch:
#408052 - Short (23.63”) black
#408120 - Medium (30.00”) black
#408101 - Long (36.00”) black
It is recommended that a Ramsey mounting
channel be used with all non-Ramsey mounting
kits.
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 cap screws with lockwashers through
mounting holes in channel and into hardware in
winch feet (see figure at right).
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 at right).
Operating Instructions
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the
wire rope for hooking onto the load or anchor
point. The clutch is operated by the shifter tab
located on the gear housing end of the winch as
follows:
1. To DISENGAGE the clutch, move the clutch
shifter tab to the “OUT” position. Wire rope
may now be free-spooled off the drum.
2. To ENGAGE the clutch, move the clutch
shifter tab into the “IN” position. The winch is
now ready for pulling.
