Ramsey Winch REP-6000/8000/9000 CURRENT - Manual (Page 4)

Installation
The winches shown in this owner's manual are solely
and exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-
industrial applications. All other applications will void
warranty.
Note: For specific bull-bar applications, the shifter lever
on the winch may need to be repositioned. Refer to
pages 7-8 for instructions in how to do this.
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 recom-
mended mounting is not used, a kit of equal design must
be used.
Also available for mounting the REP winches 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 recommend-
ed that a Ramsey mounting channel be used in all non-
Ramsey mountings.
Note: See the following separate sections for attaching
the wiring to the motor and solenoid for the REP 6000,
and REP 8000 and REP 9000 12V and 24V models. The
combined installation instructions resume on the follow-
ing page.
REP 6000
When mounting winch, attach solenoid wires to motor
terminals at end of motor. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR
TERMINALS SECURELY. Use solenoid clamp to attach
solenoid assembly to winch motor (see FIGURE 1).
Position solenoid at about a 45° angle for clearance of
lower winch guard tube of kit. TIGHTEN CLAMP
SECURELY.
REP 8000 12V & 24V/9000 12V
When mounting winch, connect labeled motor leads
coming from solenoid assembly to appropriately marked
motor terminals. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMI-
NALS SECURELY (see FIGURE 3). Attach solenoid
ground wire to grounding bolt located at bottom of motor
(See FIGURE 2). Battery ground wire is already installed
to grounding bolt on motor.
Use solenoid clamp, as shown in FIGURE 1, to secure
solenoid assembly to winch motor. If installing in combo
mounting kit, position at about a 45° angle for clearance
of lower winch guard tube in kit. Be sure that clamp is
clear of motor terminals. TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.
