Ramsey Winch REP-6000/8000/9000 CURRENT - Manual

Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available in its service
class. The REP 6000, REP 8000 and REP 9000 feature a
highly efficient 3 stage planetary gear set. The REP 6000
transmits torque from a permanent magnet D.C. motor, while
the REP 8000 and REP 9000 utilize 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.
This winch 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 improp-
erly 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 begin-
ning use. When you follow our guidelines for operation, your
Ramsey Winch will give you many years of satisfying service.
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 winch-
es 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 fur-
ther information.
