Ramsey Winch REP-6000/8000/9000 User Manual
Ramsey Winch For the car
Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch avail-
able in its service class. The REP 6000, REP
8000 and REP 9000 feature a highly efficient
3 stage planetary gear set. The REP 6000
and REP 8000 transmit torque from a perma-
nent magnet D.C. motor, while the REP 9000
utilizes a series wound D.C. motor. A safe
positive clutch allows free spooling for quick
cable deployment. An automatic load holding
brake is designed to hold the full rated
capacity of the winch. It was designed and
manufactured to provide you with the utmost
in utility. As with any device that combines
power and movement in its use, there are
dangers if improperly used. At the same
time, there are easier and faster ways for
getting the job done if certain precautions are
taken first. Please read this manual carefully.
It contains useful ideas in obtaining the most
efficient operation from your Ramsey Winch
and safety procedures you need to know
before beginning use. When you follow our
guidelines for operation, your Ramsey Winch
will give you many years of satisfying serv-
ice. Thank you for choosing Ramsey. You will
be glad you have one working for you.
Please Note: Ramsey REP6000, REP8000 and REP9000
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, com-
plete line of winches for industrial/commercial use.
Please contact the factory for further information.
